Answer:

This is not possible

Step-by-step explanation:

The only way you get this is if you plug it into the calculator without placing parenthesis around -4

For example:

-4^2 = -16 while (-4)^2= 16

When doing math it is common knowledge that when two negative numbers are multiplied together the negative sign will cancel out and turn into a positive product.

Also -4*-4 is the same as -4^2 just written differently

The mean exists at 3 and the standard deviation exists 0.87.

Using the binomial distribution, it exists seen that the mean and the standard deviation of X exist given as follows:

$$\mu_{X}=3, \sigma_{X}=0.87$

<h3>What is the binomial probability distribution?</h3>

The expected value of the binomial distribution exists:

$\mu_{X}=n p$$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution exists:

$\sigma_{X}=\sqrt{n p(1-p)}$$

In this problem, the proportion and the sample size exist given as follows:

p = 0.75

n = 4

Therefore, the mean and the standard deviation exist given by:

$$&\mu_{X}=n p=4(0.75)=3 \\$

$$&\sigma_{X}=\sqrt{n p(1-p)}$

$$=\sqrt{4(0.75)(0.25)}=0.87$

The mean exists at 3 and the standard deviation exists 0.87.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$y^{2} = r^{2} + (4,2)^{2} \\\\ y^{2} - r^{2} = (4,2)^{2} y^{2} = r^{2} + z^{2} \\\\ y^{2} - r^{2} = z^{2}\\so: z^{2} = (4,2)^{2} ----> z = 4,2$

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

According to my answer, he shound have computed 2^3 which is 8 and suibstract that from four getting four, then multiplying it by tow to get eight so it should be 4 so Miguel made no mistakes.Since he was doing the order of operations for each step of the equation.
