Answer:

16 / 2, 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Half always means divide by two. 16 divided by 2 is 8. That last sentence is also the equation.

A number divide by 2 equals 16.
n/2 = 16
Do the inverse to find the number. Opposite of division is multiplication.
16 x 2 = 32

What are polynomials?

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer: Polynomials are algebraic expressions that include real numbers and variables.

Step-by-step explanation:

Division and square roots CANNOT be involved in the variables. The variables can only include ADDITION, SUBTRACTION, and MULTIPLICATION. Polynomials contain more than one term. Polynomials are the sums of monomials.

A consumer organization inspecting new cars found that many had appearance defects (dents, scratches, paint chips, etc.). While

Answer:

The expected number of appearance defects in a new car = 0.64

standard deviation = 0.93(approximately)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given -

7% had exactly three, 11% exactly two, and 21% only one defect in cars.

Let X be no of defects in a car

P(X=3) = .07 , P(X=2) = .11 , P(X=3) = .21

P(X=0 ) = 1 - .07 - .11 - .21 = 0.61

The expected number of appearance defects in a new car =

E(X) = $\nu$ = $= \sum X P(X) =3\times 0.07 + 2\times0.11 + 3\times0.21 + 0\times0.61$ = 0.64

$\sigma^{2}$ = variation of E(X) = $\sum (X - \nu) ^{2}P(X)$ = $(3 - 0.64) ^{2}\times0.07 + (2 - 0.64) ^{2}\times0.11 + (1 - 0.64) ^{2}\times0.21 + (0 - 0.64) ^{2}\times0.61$
