Answer:

a. -1.60377

b. 0.25451

c. 0.344

d. Option b) 78th

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of pieces in a regular bag of Skittles is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 38.4 and a standard deviation of 2.12.

a)What is the z-score value of a randomly selected bag of Skittles that has 35 Skittles? a) 1.62 b) -1.62 c) 3.40 d) -3.40 e)1.303.

The formula for calculating a z-score is is z = (x-μ)/σ,

where x is the raw score

μ is the population mean

σ is the population standard deviation.

z = 35 - 38.4/2.12

= -1.60377

Option b) -1.62 is correct

b) What is the probability that a randomly selected bag of Skittles has at least 37 Skittles? a) .152 b) .247 c) .253 d).747e).7534. .

z = (x-μ)/σ

Mean of 38.4 and a standard deviation of 2.12.

z = (37 - 38.4)/2.12

= -0.66038

P-value from Z-Table:

P(x<37) = 0.25451

The probability that a randomly selected bag of Skittles has at least 37 Skittles is 0.25451

Option c) .253 is.correct

c) What is the probability that a randomly selected bag of Skittles has between 39 and 42 Skittles? a) .112 b) .232 c) .344 d).457 e).6125.

z = (x-μ)/σ

Mean of 38.4 and a standard deviation of 2.12.

For 39 Skittles

z = (39 - 38.4)/2.12

= 0.28302

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x = 39) = 0.61142

For 42 Skittles

z = (42 - 38.4)/2.12

= 1.69811

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x = 42) = 0.95526

The probability that a randomly selected bag of Skittles has between 39 and 42 Skittles is:

P(x = 42) - P(x = 39

0.95526 - 0.61142

0.34384

= 0.344

Option c is.correct

d) What is the percentile rank of a randomly selected bag of Skittles that has 40 Skittles in it? a)82nd b) 78th c) 75th d)25th e)22nd

z = (x-μ)/σ

Mean of 38.4 and a standard deviation of 2.12.

z = (40 - 38.4)/2.12

= 0.75472

P-value from Z-Table:

P(x = 40) = 0.77479

Converting to percentage = 0.77479× 100

= 77. 479%

≈ 77.5

Percentile rank = 78th

JK = MN because of Given

∠JLK = ∠MLN because of the vertical angle theorem

JL = LN because of definition of midpoint

ΔJLK = MLN because of SAS

∠K = ∠N because corresponding angles of congruent triangles are congruent.

Given the trinomial, what is the value of the coefficient B in the factored form?
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

B = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2 + 4xy − 48y^2

Factor out 2

2(x^2 + 2xy − 24y^2)

What 2 numbers multiply to -24 and add to 2

-4 *6 = -24

-4+6 = 2

2 ( x+6y)( x-4y)
