Very nice handwriting but the math and English are confusing.

Let's assume we're told

$\displaystyle 45 = \sum_{i=1}^9 (x_i - 10)^2$

The subscript is important.

I think we're told the similar sum with 11 gives the smallest possible value for the sum. This is a rather cagey way of telling us 11 is the mean of the nine points. The mean is the number which minimizes the sum of squared deviations.

$\displaystyle 45 = \sum_{i=1}^9 (x_i - 10)^2 = \sum x_i^2 - 20 \sum x_i + 9(100)$

$\displaystyle \sum x_i^2= 20 \sum x_i - 900$

If 11 is the mean, the sum of the points is 9(11)=99.

$\displaystyle \sum x_i^2= 20 (99) - 900 = 1080$

Answer: 1080

2|4x-1|=38 I need to solve this

umka21 [38]

First you have to have the absolute value isolated so the 2 has to be divided. Then set up the two cases and solve.

A window is being replaced with tinted glass. The plan at the right shows the design of the window. Each unit length represents

PolarNik [594]

The answer is $911.68.

After a little research on the internet, I found the design of the window.
First, you need to find the area of the window which is a composite figure made up of a rectangle and a circle. So, the total area (A) is the sum of the area of the rectangle (A1) and the area of the circle (A2).

Area of the rectangle with length l and width w is:
A = l * w
According to the image, l = 5 ft and w = 4 ft.
A1 = 5 * 4 = 20 ft²

Area of the circle with radius r is:
A = r²π
According to the image, r = 2 ft.
A2 = 2² * 3.14 = 12.56 ft²

The area of the window is:
A = A1 + A = 20 ft² + 12.56 ft² = 32.56 ft²

<span>The glass costs $28 per square foot, so to replace the glass will cost:
</span>32.56 ft² * $28/ft² = $911.68

Answer:

0.7995 = 79.95% probability that the sample will contain at least three defectives.

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that $\mu = E(X)$ , $\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ .
