Answer:

The correct option is;

The first twenty-five customers

Step-by-step explanation:

For the given data, by calculation, we have;

The population average = 11.45

The average of the first five customers = 13.2

The average of the first ten customers = 11.6

The average of the first twenty customers = 12.5

The average of the first twenty-five customers = 11.72

Therefore both the first ten customers and the first twenty-five customers have good representation of the population mean with the mean of the first ten customers having a value of 11.6 is more closer to the population mean than the mean of the first twenty-five customers

However, by the central limit theorem, as the size of the sample continues to be increasingly larger, it becomes more and more representative of the population mean, this is more so because when the data is sorted, the population mean will be better represented by the mean of a large sample size

Hence the set of sample data needed to best represent the population mean is the first twenty-five customers.

The axis of symmetry for the function f(x) = –2x2 + 4x + 1 is the line x = 1. Where is the vertex of the function located?

Answer:

(1, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the h coordinate of the vertex as 1, but in order to find the k coordinate, you have to complete the square on the parabola. The first few steps are as follows. Set the parabola equal to 0 so you can solve for the vertex. Separate the x terms from the constant by moving the constant to the other side of the equals sign. The coefficient HAS to be a +1 (ours is a -2 so we have to factor it out). Let's start there. The first 2 steps result in this polynomial:

$-2x^2+4x=-1$ . Now we factor out the -2:

$-2(x^2-2x)=-1$ . Now we complete the square. This process is to take half the linear term, square it, and add it to both sides. Our linear term is 2x. Half of 2 is 1, and 1 squared is 1. We add 1 into the set of parenthesis. But we actually added into the parenthesis is +1(-2). The -2 out front is a multiplier and we cannot ignore it. Adding in to both sides looks like this:

$-2(x^2-2x+1)=-1-2$ . Simplifying gives us this:

$-2(x^2-2x+1)=-3$

On the left we have created a perfect square binomial which reflects the h coordinate of the vertex. Stating this binomial and moving the -3 over by addition and setting the polynomial equal to y:

$-2(x-1)^2+3=y$
