Find factors of -5 that, when added together, will give 4
x² + 4x - 5
x 5
x -1
(x + 5)(x -1)
Using the FOIL method (First, Outside, Inside, Last), we can get the question again.
x(x) = x²
x(-1) = -x
5(x) = 5x
5(-1) = -5
x² - x + 5x - 5
x² + 4x - 5
(x + 5) (x - 1) is your answers
however, i believe it is only asking for one. Therefore, because (x - 1) is a choice, (x - 1) should be your answer
hope this helps
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
For me, the first step to any statistics exercise is to determine what is the variable of interest and it's distribution.
In this example the variable is:
X: height of a college student. (cm)
There is no information about the variable distribution. To estimate the population mean you need a variable with at least a normal distribution since the mean is a parameter of it.
The option you have is to apply the Central Limit Theorem.
The central limit theorem states that if you have a population with probability function f(X;μ,δ²) from which a random sample of size n is selected. Then the distribution of the sample mean tends to the normal distribution with mean μ and variance δ²/n when the sample size tends to infinity.
As a rule, a sample of size greater than or equal to 30 is considered sufficient to apply the theorem and use the approximation.
The sample size in this exercise is n=50 so we can apply the theorem and approximate the distribution of the sample mean to normal:
X[bar]~~N(μ;σ2/n)
Thanks to this approximation you can use an approximation of the standard normal to calculate the confidence interval:
98% CI
1 - α: 0.98
⇒α: 0.02
α/2: 0.01

X[bar] ± 
174.5 ± 
[172.22; 176.78]
With a confidence level of 98%, you'd expect that the true average height of college students will be contained in the interval [172.22; 176.78].
I hope it helps!
8 costs 40 so 10 costs | 40 / 8 = ( 5*2=10) So your answer is 50 Dollars.
