Answer:
Step 1: Transpose everything to one side
12. x²+16x+15-10x+4=0
Step 2: Add the like terms
x² + (16x - 10x) + 15 + 4=0
x² + 6x + 19=0
Step 3: Use the quadratic formula to get the value(s) of x.
a=1 b=6 c=19

therefore, x=... or x
Answer:
![E[X^2]= \frac{2!}{2^1 1!}= 1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%5BX%5E2%5D%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B2%21%7D%7B2%5E1%201%21%7D%3D%201)

Step-by-step explanation:
For this case we can use the moment generating function for the normal model given by:
![\phi(t) = E[e^{tX}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cphi%28t%29%20%3D%20E%5Be%5E%7BtX%7D%5D)
And this function is very useful when the distribution analyzed have exponentials and we can write the generating moment function can be write like this:

And we have that the moment generating function can be write like this:

And we can write this as an infinite series like this:

And since this series converges absolutely for all the possible values of tX as converges the series e^2, we can use this to write this expression:
![E[e^{tX}]= E[1+ tX +\frac{1}{2} (tX)^2 +....+\frac{1}{n!}(tX)^n +....]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%5Be%5E%7BtX%7D%5D%3D%20E%5B1%2B%20tX%20%2B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%28tX%29%5E2%20%2B....%2B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7Bn%21%7D%28tX%29%5En%20%2B....%5D)
![E[e^{tX}]= 1+ E[X]t +\frac{1}{2}E[X^2]t^2 +....+\frac{1}{n1}E[X^n] t^n+...](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%5Be%5E%7BtX%7D%5D%3D%201%2B%20E%5BX%5Dt%20%2B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7DE%5BX%5E2%5Dt%5E2%20%2B....%2B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7Bn1%7DE%5BX%5En%5D%20t%5En%2B...)
and we can use the property that the convergent power series can be equal only if they are equal term by term and then we have:
![\frac{1}{(2k)!} E[X^{2k}] t^{2k}=\frac{1}{k!} (\frac{t^2}{2})^k =\frac{1}{2^k k!} t^{2k}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B%282k%29%21%7D%20E%5BX%5E%7B2k%7D%5D%20t%5E%7B2k%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7Bk%21%7D%20%28%5Cfrac%7Bt%5E2%7D%7B2%7D%29%5Ek%20%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%5Ek%20k%21%7D%20t%5E%7B2k%7D)
And then we have this:
![E[X^{2k}]=\frac{(2k)!}{2^k k!}, k=0,1,2,...](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%5BX%5E%7B2k%7D%5D%3D%5Cfrac%7B%282k%29%21%7D%7B2%5Ek%20k%21%7D%2C%20k%3D0%2C1%2C2%2C...)
And then we can find the ![E[X^2]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%5BX%5E2%5D)
![E[X^2]= \frac{2!}{2^1 1!}= 1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%5BX%5E2%5D%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B2%21%7D%7B2%5E1%201%21%7D%3D%201)
And we can find the variance like this :
![Var(X^2) = E[X^4]-[E(X^2)]^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Var%28X%5E2%29%20%3D%20E%5BX%5E4%5D-%5BE%28X%5E2%29%5D%5E2)
And first we find:
![E[X^4]= \frac{4!}{2^2 2!}= 3](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%5BX%5E4%5D%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B4%21%7D%7B2%5E2%202%21%7D%3D%203)
And then the variance is given by:

Answer: The median for set a is greater

Answer:
(A) 15 centimeters
Step-by-step explanation:
A midsegment of a triangle is always 2 things:
Half the size of the bottom of the triangle (in this case AC)
Parallel to the bottom of the triangle.
Since ABC is an equilateral triangle, we know that EVERY side is 30cm, including AC.
So the midsegment of ABC, LM, must be 15 cm.
Hope this helped!
