A could be 2 while B could be 3, so -2a+3b turns into -4+9, which equals 5.

From what I know you can't really solve a a single equation with two-variables so it's just a matter of trial and error.

Just try plugging in a small number like 2 for a just to try it and you get 8b^2=72.

Divide everything by 8 to isolate b and you get that b^2=9.

Square root everything and you'll find that b=3. This is just one possible combination, I'm sure there are many more but this is obviously the one that was intended to be found.

Now that we know that a=2 and b=3 just plug them into the equation.

-2(2)+3(3)=?

-4+9=?

5

Sorry about having to use this ^ symbol, the equation maker is not working.

Major league baseball salaries averaged $3.26 million with a standard deviation of $1.2 million in a recent year. suppose a samp
Anastaziya [24]
Given:
μ = $3.26 million, averaged salary
σ = $1.2 million, standard deviation
n = 100, sample size.

Let x = random test value
We want to determine P(x>4).

Calculate z-score.
z = (x - μ)/ (σ/√n) = (4 - 3.26)/(1.2/10) = 6.1667

From standard tables,
P(z<6.1667) = 1
The area under the distribution curve = 1.
Therefore
P(z>6.1667) = 1 - P(z<=6.1667) = 1 - 1 = 0

Answer: The probability is 0.
