Patrick went cycling one weekend.

1 answer:

8 0

For this question, it would be most effective to use an algebraic expression to more easily show what the question is asking. If we use the variable "k" to show the distance in km that he cycled on Sunday, we know that the amount he cycled on Saturday equals k + 12, and the amount that he cycled on the weekend should be the amount of Saturday plus the amount of Sunday. If we write this as an equation we say:
k + k + 12 = 38
=> 2k + 12 = 38
Now we can just rearrange and solve for k:
=> 2k = 26
=> k = 26/2 = 13
Therefore Patrick cycled 13km on Sunday
To solve the answer, we just add 12km to the value for Sunday like so:
12 + 13 = the amount he cycled on Sunday
Hope this helped, remember to please try and understand the maths as well as the answer :))

Which is a possible number of distinct real roots for a cubic function? Select all that apply.

Neko [114]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3 is a possible number of distinct real roots for a cubic function.

The maximum possible number of distinct roots are equal to the degree of any polynomial function.

Hence quadratic function has 2 roots

Cubic has 3

Linear has 1

For a binomial process, the probability of success is 40 percent and the number of trials is 5. Find the standard deviation.

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

$Sd(X) =\sqrt{1.2}=1.095$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:

$X \sim Binom(n=5, p=0.4)$

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

$P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}$

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

$nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}$

The mean for the binomial distribution is given by:

$E(X) =np=5*0.4=2$

And the variance is given by:

$Var(X) = np(1-p) =5*0.4*(1-0.4)=1.2$

And the deviation is just the square root of the variance so we got:

$Sd(X) =\sqrt{1.2}=1.095$

A group of 22 students participated in a race. Their scores are below: Score (points) 4–5 6–7 8–9 10–11 12–13 Number of Students

Anna71 [15]

A histogram would best represent the data.
Dot plot is a good way to show a certain trend. However, when it comes to the number of a item, in this case the number of students in a certain score range, a histogram will be the most intuitive and concise. Thus, a histogram best represent the data presented here.
