Answer:

En 5 horas se habrá enterado todo el pueblo.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sabemos que en un pueblo 5 personas escucharon una noticia.

Una hora más tarde, cada una de ellas le contó la noticia a otras 5.

Luego, éstas contaron la noticia a otras 5 y así sucesivamente.

Nadie cuenta ni escucha la noticia más de una vez y en ese pueblo hay un poco más de 19000 habitantes.

La ecuación a desarrollar para resolver el problema es la siguiente :

Comenzamos con 5 personas que escucharon la noticia a la ''hora 0''.

Una hora más tarde, cada una de ellas le contó a 5 personas, es decir , pasada la primera hora tendremos :

5+5^{2}=30 (I)

Las 5 personas originales de la ''hora 0'' más 25 personas que se enteraron pasada la primera hora. La ecuación que planteamos es la siguiente :

5^{1}+5^{2}+5^{3}+...+5^{x}>19000 (II)

Buscamos el valor de x que satisface la ecuación (II).

Probando y realizando las sumas encontramos que :

5^{1}+5^{2}+5^{3}+5^{4}+5^{5}+5^{6}>19000

19530>19000

El valor de x que satisface (II) es x=6.

Para hallar el número de horas nos fijamos que en (I) el valor del mayor exponente del 5 es el número 2. Para ese valor 2, el tiempo que pasó es una hora.

Entonces para nuestro x=6, el número de horas que pasaron son 5 horas (1 menos que el valor de x)

Todo el pueblo se habrá enterado en 5 horas de la noticia.

Rachael got a 550 on the analytical portion of the Graduate Record Exam (GRE). If GRE scores are normally distributed and have m
valina [46]

Answer:

Z=-2

This value means that the score of Rachel 550 it's 2 deviations below the mean of the population \mu=600

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

\mu=600 represent the population mean for the Graduate Record Exam (GRE)

\sigma=25 represent the population standard deviation for Graduate Record Exam (GRE)

2) Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(600,25)  

Where \mu=600 and \sigma=25

We want to find the z score for a score of 550. And in order to do this we need to apply the formula for the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

z=\frac{550-600}{25}=-2

So the answer for our case would be Z=-2

This value means that the score of Rachel 550 it's 2 deviations below the mean of the population \mu=600

Algebra work need help<br> please show working
Nastasia [14]

Expand the left side:

(3x + 2) (5x + 1) = 15x² + 10x + 3x + 2 = 15x² + 13x + 2

Then a = 15 and b = 13, so a - b = 2.
