You can buy 9 cds and 5 dvds with the amount of money you have. If you buy only cds, how many can you buy?

The answer would be 0 solutions.

Here, we see |x+6| = 2.
Oh wow! A foreign object!
|x+6|... two lines... what is that?

That is called absolute value. Whatever is inside the two lines, must have a positive answer!

Let's pretend we have a machine that has this absolute value function activated.
What we put in, we must get a positive answer out.

Let's put in -6.

-6 ==> BEEP BEEP ==> 6

Let's try 3.

3 ==> BEEP BEEP ==>3

Whatever we put in, if it is negative or positive, what comes out is always positive.

So, for how many values x is |x+6|=-2 true?

None, because the answer must be positive!
-2 is not positive, 2 is.

A test consists of 10 true or false questions. To pass the test a student must answer at least eight questions correctly. If the

forsale [732]

<h3>The probability of student passing the quiz with at least 50% of the questions correct is 0.05457.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the total number of T/F question = 10

The minimum answers needed correctly answered = 8

So, student needs to answer at least 8 questions correctly.

Here, the possibility of answering a question correctly = $(\frac{1}{2})$ = p = 0.5

Also, the possibility of answering a question wrong = $(\frac{1}{2})$ = q = 0.5

Now, to pass he needs to answer 8 or more ( 8 , 9 or 10) answers correctly.

P(answering 8 correct answer) = $^{10}C_8(p)^8(q)^2 = ^{10}C_8(0.5)^8(0.5)^2 = 0.0439$

P(answering 9 correct answer) = $^{10}C_9(p)^9(q)^1 = ^{10}C_9(0.5)^9(0.5)^1 = 0.0097$

P(answering 10 correct answer) = $^{10}C_{10}(p)^{10}(q)^0 = ^{10}C_{10}(0.5)^{10}(0.5)^0 = 0.00097$

So, the total Probability = P(8) + P(9) + P(10)

= (0.0439) + (0.0097) + (0.00097)

= 0.05457

Hence, the probability that the student passes the quiz with at least 8 of the questions correct is 0.05457.

I'm confused on simplifying radicals.

lakkis [162]

Answer: 4 or $\sqrt{4 * 4}$

To find the square root of a number, remember that there will be two factors that are the same that will give you the product.

Lets start from 1:

1 x 1 = 1

2 x 2 = 4

3 x 3 = 9

4 x 4 = 16

As you can see, 4 x 4 is 16. To make sure I'm correct, remember that a square roots consists two identical factors.

4 and 4 are the same numbers.

Therefore, $\sqrt{16}$ = 4

It can also be written as $\sqrt{4 * 4}$

Consider the two data sets below:

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

Option c) The data sets will have the same values of their interquartile range.

Explanation:

1. The values are in order: they are in increasing oder, from lowest to highest value.

2. Calculate the interquartile range.

Interquartile range, IQR, is the third quartile, Q3, less the first quartile Q1:

IQR = Q3 - Q1

To find the first and the third quartile, first find the median:

Data Set 1: 19, 25, 35, 38, 41, 49, 50, 52, 59

[19, 25, 35, 38], 41, [49, 50, 52, 59]

↑

median = 41

Data Set 2: 19, 25, 35, 38, 41, 49, 50, 52, 99

[19, 25, 35, 38] , 41, [49, 50, 52, 99]

↑

median = 41

Now find the median of each subset: the values below the median and the values above the median.

Data set 1: First quartile

[19, 25, 35, 38],

↑

Q1 = [25 + 35] / 2 = 30

Third quartile

[49, 50, 52, 59]

↑

Q3 = [50 + 52] / 2 = 51

IQR = Q3 - Q1 = 51 - 30 = 21

Data set 2: First quartile

[19, 25, 35, 38]

↑

Q1 = [25 + 35] / 2= 30

Third quartile

[49, 50, 52, 99]

↑

Q3 = [52 + 50]/2 = 51

IQR = 51 - 30 = 21

Thus, it is shown that the data sets have will have the same values for the interquartile range: IQR = 21. (option c)

This happens because replacing one extreme value (in this case the maximum value) by other extreme value does not affect the median.

An outlier will change the range because the range is the maximum value less the minimum value.
