What is the range of the function f (x)=3.2x for the domain (-4, -2, 0, 2, 4)?

So we don't have to multiply each domain, we just need to find the lowest and highest domain and put it into the equation (since we're just multiplying)
-4 and 4 are the lowest and highest.
3.2×-4=-12.8; this means that when 4 is put into the equation, it will be 12.8 since they're opposites.
So, the range is -12.8 to 12.8.

Answer: Hello there!

The function is f(x) = 3.2*x and we want to know the range of this function for the domain (-4, -2, 0 , 2, 4)

First we need to evaluate f(x) in the points of the domain, and this give us the pairs:

(-4, 3.2*-4) = (-4, -12.8)

(-2, 3.2*-2) = (2, -6.4)

(0, 3.0) = (0,0)

(2, 3.2*2) = (2, 6.4)

(4, 3.2*4) = (4, 12.8)

The range is the codomain or image of the function, then the range of f(x) for the given domain is:

(-12.8, -6.4, 0, 6.4, 12.8)

A television station plans to ask a random sample of 400 city residents if they can name the news anchor on the evening news at

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

There is an 8.38% probability that the anchor will be fired.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each resident, there is only two possible outcomes. Either they can name the news anchor on the evening news at their station, or they cannot.

This means that the binomial probability distribution will be used in our solution.

However, we are working with samples that are considerably big. So i am going to aaproximate this binomial distribution to the normal.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that $\mu = E(X), \sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ .
