Answer:
a: 0.8884
b: 0.9934
Step-by-step explanation:
We have µ = 300 and σ = 70. The sample size, n = 125.
For the sample to be within 8 units of the population mean, we would have sample values of 292 and 308, so we want to find:
P(292 < x < 308).
We need to find the z-scores that correspond to these values using the given data. See attached photo 1 for the calculation of these scores.
We have P(292 < x < 308) = 0.8884
Next we want the probability of the sample mean to be within 17 units of the population mean, so we want the values from 283 to 317. We want to find
P(283 < x < 317)
We need to find the z-scores that correspond to these values. See photo 2 for the calculation of these scores.
We have P(283 < x < 317) = 0.9934
Answer:
Answer C is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) clearly has a maximum: y = +10 at x = 0.
Analyzing g(x) = -(x + 1)^2 - 10, we see that the vertex is at (-1, -10), and that the graph opens down. Thus, -10 is the maximum value; it occurs at x = -1.
Answer A is false. Both functions have max values.
Answer B is false. One max is y = 10 and the other is y = -10.
Answer C is correct. The max value of f(x), which is 10, is greater than the max value of g(x), which is -10.
Answer D is false. See Answer B, above.
Answer:
x = -7
Step-by-step explanation:
-1 + x = -8
x = -7
Answer:
equal to
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of the line connecting two points (<em>a</em>, <em>b</em>) and (<em>c</em>, <em>d</em>) is
(<em>d</em> - <em>b</em>) / (<em>c</em> - <em>a</em>)
i.e. the change in the <em>y</em>-coordinate divided by the change in the <em>x</em>-coordinate. For a function <em>y</em> = <em>f(x)</em>, this slope is the slope of the secant line connecting the two points (<em>a</em>, <em>f(a)</em> ) and (<em>c</em>, <em>f(c)</em> ), and has a value of
(<em>f(c)</em> - <em>f(a)</em> ) / (<em>c</em> - <em>a</em>)
Here, we have
<em>f(x)</em> = <em>x</em> ²
so that
<em>f</em> (1) = 1² = 1
<em>f</em> (1.01) = 1.01² = 1.0201
Then the slope of the secant line is
(1.0201 - 1) / (1.01 - 1) = 0.0201 / 0.01 = 2.01
