Answer:
You did the same on both exams.
Step-by-step explanation:
To compare both the scores, we need to compute the z scores of both the exams and then compare the values. The formula for z-score is:
<u>Z = (X - μ)/σ</u>
Where X = score obtained
μ = mean score
σ = standard deviation
For Exam 1:
Z = (95 - 79)/8
= 16/8
<u>Z = 2</u>
For Exam 2:
Z = (90 - 60)/15
= 30/15
<u>Z = 2</u>
<u>The z-scores for both the tests are same hence the third option is correct i.e. </u><u>you did the same on both exams.</u>
Answer:
17
Step-by-step explanation:
you said that in the problem lol
Let us model this problem with a polynomial function.
Let x = day number (1,2,3,4, ...)
Let y = number of creatures colled on day x.
Because we have 5 data points, we shall use a 4th order polynomial of the form
y = a₁x⁴ + a₂x³ + a₃x² + a₄x + a₅
Substitute x=1,2, ..., 5 into y(x) to obtain the matrix equation
| 1 1 1 1 1 | | a₁ | | 42 |
| 2⁴ 2³ 2² 2¹ 2⁰ | | a₂ | | 26 |
| 3⁴ 3³ 3² 3¹ 3⁰ | | a₃ | = | 61 |
| 4⁴ 4³ 4² 4¹ 4⁰ | | a₄ | | 65 |
| 5⁴ 5³ 5² 5¹ 5⁰ | | a₅ | | 56 |
When this matrix equation is solved in the calculator, we obtain
a₁ = 4.1667
a₂ = -55.3333
a₃ = 253.3333
a₄ = -451.1667
a₅ = 291.0000
Test the solution.
y(1) = 42
y(2) = 26
y(3) = 61
y(4) = 65
y(5) = 56
The average for 5 days is (42+26+61+65+56)/5 = 50.
If Kathy collected 53 creatures instead of 56 on day 5, the average becomes
(42+26+61+65+53)/5 = 49.4.
Now predict values for days 5,7,8.
y(6) = 152
y(7) = 571
y(8) = 1631

Answer:
x^2 -4x +2 = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
The other root is the conjugate of the given one, so is 2-√2. The quadratic equation in factored form is then ...
(x -2-√2)(x -2+√2) = 0
Expanding this, we get ...
(x -2)^2 -(√2)^2 = 0
x^2 -4x +4 -2 = 0
x^2 -4x +2 = 0 . . . . the equation you're looking for
