Answer:
The answer to your question is:
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
f(x) = -2x² + 8x - 2
Process
-2x² + 8x = y + 2
-2(x² - 4x + 4) = y + 2 - 8
-2(x - 2)² = y - 6
(x - 2)² = 1/2 (y - 6)
Vertex = (2, 6)
Axis of symmetry = x = 2
y-intercept
f(0) = -2(0)² + 8(0) - 2
f(0) = 0 + 0 - 2
f(0) = -2
Domain (-∞, ∞)
Range (-∞, 6]

Answer:
95.44% of the grasshoppers weigh between 86 grams and 94 grams.
Step-by-step explanation:
Normal Probability Distribution:
Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean and standard deviation
, the z-score of a measure X is given by:
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
Mean of 90 grams and a standard deviation of 2 grams.
This means that
What percentage of the grasshoppers weigh between 86 grams and 94 grams?
The proportion is the p-value of Z when X = 94 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 86. So
X = 94
has a p-value of 0.9772.
X = 86
has a p-value of 0.0228.
0.9772 - 0.0228 = 0.9544
0.9544*100% = 95.44%
95.44% of the grasshoppers weigh between 86 grams and 94 grams.
