<em /><em>PURPLE MARBLES=P
WHITE MARBLES=W

</em>First, write out an equation showing the number of purple marbles.
P=5W-6
Then, write out the main equation.
W+P=96
W+5W-6=96
Add 6 to both sides.
W+5W=102
6W=102
Divide both sides by 6
W=17
Now that we know there are 17 white marbles, we can go back to the equation about how many purple marbles there are. 
P=5W-6
Plug in the value for W, which is 17.
P=5(17)-6
P=85-6
P=79

To make sure your answer is correct, check your work by plugging in the values for P+W=96.
79+17=96
Answer: There are 79 purple marbles.

mars1129 [50]

Answer: 0.8413

Step-by-step explanation:

population mean = 3

population variance = 0.03

sd (standard deviation) = √0.03

Let x = sample mean

x has a mean of 3 and sd of √0.03/√3 = √0.01 = 0.1

And we can aprox the sample mean distribution using a normal distribution

Note: this approximation maybe is not so good (n = 3)

with mean = 3 and sd = 0.1

z = (x-3)/0.1 has a standard normal distribution

P(x<3.1) = P(z<(3.1-3)/0.1) = P(z<1) =0.8413

What is the average rate of change for this quadratic function for the interval from x = 0 to x = 2 ?
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer: -2

Step-by-step explanation:  The average rate of a function f(x)  from x=a to x=b is given as:

Clearly we are asked to find the average rate of change from x=0 to x=2.

i.e. a=0 and b=2

Also, from the graph it could be observed that:

f(0)=1

and f(2)=-3

Hence, the average rate of change is calculated as:

Hence, the average rate of change for this quadratic function for the interval from x = 0 to x = 2 is:

-2
