Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate z-score firstly
z-score = (x-mean)/SD = (2.75-2.5)/0.25 = 0.25/0.25 = 1
P( x greater than or equal to 2.75) = P(z greater than or equal to 1)
= 1 - p(z <1)
P(z<1) from table = 0.84134
1-p(z<1) = 0.15866 or 15.866%
<span>Using processing software (Excel) or even a decent scientific calculator. You input the values and generate the best fit cubic equation.
For number 1, the equation is
y = 8x10</span>⁻⁵ x³ - 0.0097 x² + 0.374 x + 1.083
where x is the number of years since 1900
y is the pounds cheese consumed
For number 2, the equation is
y = -3x10⁻⁵ x³ + 0.0028 x² + 0.2155 x + 1.7736
For number 3
P(-1) = 18
In order to factor this, we will need to take something out to get it to factor. Lets take out a greatest common factor, in this case our greatest common factor will be 3.
We will then write it as:
-3(5t+2)
