Answer:

n=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve start with the 4n-10=-22

+10 to both sides and you get 4n=-12

Divide each side by 4 and you get n=-3

To check plug -3 in for n and you'll get the -2 once you solve it.

4- A manufacturing process produces items whose weights are normally distributed. It is known that 22.57% of all the items produ
galben [10]

Answer:

\\ \mu = 118\;grams\;and\;\sigma=30\;grams

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to use z-scores and a standard normal table to find the values that corresponds to the probabilities given, and then to solve a system of equations to find \\ \mu\;and\;\sigma.

<h3>First Case: items from 100 grams to the mean</h3>

For finding probabilities that corresponds to z-scores, we are going to use here a <u>Standard Normal Table </u><u><em>for cumulative probabilities from the mean </em></u><em>(Standard normal table. Cumulative from the mean (0 to Z), 2020, in Wikipedia) </em>that is, the "probability that a statistic is between 0 (the mean) and Z".

A value of a z-score for the probability P(100<x<mean) = 22.57% = 0.2257 corresponds to a value of z-score = 0.6, that is, the value is 0.6 standard deviations from the mean. Since this value is <em>below the mean</em> ("the items produced weigh between 100 grams up to the mean"), then the z-score is negative.

Then

\\ z = -0.6\;and\;z = \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

\\ -0.6 = \frac{100-\mu}{\sigma} (1)

<h3>Second Case: items from the mean up to 190 grams</h3>

We can apply the same procedure as before. A value of a z-score for the probability P(mean<x<190) = 49.18% = 0.4918 corresponds to a value of z-score = 2.4, which is positive since it is after the mean.

Then

\\ z =2.4\;and\; z = \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

\\ 2.4 = \frac{190-\mu}{\sigma} (2)

<h3>Solving a system of equations for values of the mean and standard deviation</h3>

Having equations (1) and (2), we can form a system of two equations and two unknowns values:

\\ -0.6 = \frac{100-\mu}{\sigma} (1)

\\ 2.4 = \frac{190-\mu}{\sigma} (2)

Rearranging these two equations:

\\ -0.6*\sigma = 100-\mu (1)

\\ 2.4*\sigma = 190-\mu (2)

To solve this system of equations, we can multiply (1) by -1, and them sum the two resulting equation:

\\ 0.6*\sigma = -100+\mu (1)

\\ 2.4*\sigma = 190-\mu (2)

Summing both equations, we obtain the following equation:

\\ 3.0*\sigma = 90

Then

\\ \sigma = \frac{90}{3.0} = 30

To find the value of the mean, we need to substitute the value obtained for the standard deviation in equation (2):

\\ 2.4*30 = 190-\mu (2)

\\ 2.4*30 - 190 = -\mu

\\ -2.4*30 + 190 = \mu

\\ \mu = 118

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

24 is correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

2 {x}^{2}  - 5x + 6 \\  = 2 {( - 2)}^{2}  - 5 \times ( - 2) + 6 \\  = 2 \times 4 + 10 + 6 \\  = 8 + 10 + 6  \\  = 24

hope it helped you:)

Can a local maximum also be a point of inflection? Explain.
myrzilka [38]
<span>Inflection points are where the function changes concavity. Since concave up corresponds to a positive second derivative and concave down corresponds to a negative second derivative, then when the function changes from concave up to concave down (or vise versa) the second derivative must equal zero at that point. So the second derivative must equal zero to be an inflection point. But don't get excited yet. You have to make sure that the concavity actually changes at that point.</span>
