2

Explanation:

Given:

x

2

+

10

x

+

16

=

0

To complete the square put the two

x

terms on the left and the constant on the right of the equation:

x

2

+

10

x

=

−

16

Complete the square by multiplying the

x

-term by

1

2

:

1

2

⋅

10

=

5

and adding the square of this number to the right side of the equation:

5

2

=

25

(

x

)

2

=

+

UNDERSTANDING CHECK:

(

+

5

)

2

=

2

+

10

x

+

25

.

The

+

25

was not in the original equation. If we add

+

25

to one side of the equation, we must add the same amount to the other side of the equation to keep it balanced.

(

x

+

5

)

2

=

9

To solve, square root both sides of the equation:

√

(

x

The lengths of a professor's classes has a continuous uniform distribution between 50.0 min and 52.0 min. If one such class is r
svp [43]

Answer:

0.1 = 10% probability that the class length is between 51.5 and 51.7 min, that is, P(51.5 < X < 51.7) = 0.1.

Step-by-step explanation:

A distribution is called uniform if each outcome has the same probability of happening.

The uniform distributon has two bounds, a and b, and the probability of finding a value between c and d is given by:

P(c \leq X \leq d) = \frac{d - c}{b - a}

The lengths of a professor's classes has a continuous uniform distribution between 50.0 min and 52.0 min.

This means that a = 50, b = 52

If one such class is randomly selected, find the probability that the class length is between 51.5 and 51.7 min.

P(51.5 \leq X \leq 51.7) = \frac{51.7 - 51.5}{52 - 50} = \frac{0.2}{2} = 0.1

0.1 = 10% probability that the class length is between 51.5 and 51.7 min, that is, P(51.5 < X < 51.7) = 0.1.
