Answer:

Test scores of 10.2 or lower are significantly low.

Test scores of 31.4 or higher are significantly high.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 20.8, \sigma = 5.3

Identify the test scores that are significantly low or significantly high.

Significantly low

Z = -2 and lower.

So the significantly low scores are thoses values that are lower or equal than X when Z = -2. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

-2 = \frac{X - 20.8}{5.3}

X - 20.8 = -2*5.3

X = 10.2

Test scores of 10.2 or lower are significantly low.

Significantly high

Z = 2 and higher.

So the significantly high scores are thoses values that are higherr or equal than X when Z = 2. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

2 = \frac{X - 20.8}{5.3}

X - 20.8 = 2*5.3

X = 31.4

Test scores of 31.4 or higher are significantly high.

Suppose a and b are the solutions to the quadratic equation 2x^2-3x-6=0. Find the value of (a+2)(b+2).
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

(a+2)(b+2) = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following quadratic equation:

2x^2-3x-6=0

Let a a and b be the solution of the given quadratic equation.

Solving the equation:

2x^2-3x-6=0\\\text{Using the quadratic formula}\\\\x = \dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\\text{Comparing the equation to }ax^2 + bx + c = 0\\\text{We have}\\a = 2\\b = -3\\c = -6\\x = \dfrac{3\pm \sqrt{9-4(2)(-6)}}{4} = \dfrac{3\pm \sqrt{57}}{4}\\\\a = \dfrac{3+\sqrt{57}}{4}, b = \dfrac{3-\sqrt{57}}{4}

We have to find the value of (a+2)(b+2).

Putting the values:

(a+2)(b+2)\\\\=\bigg(\dfrac{3+\sqrt{57}}{4}+2\bigg)\bigg(\dfrac{3-\sqrt{57}}{4}+2\bigg)\\\\=\bigg(\dfrac{11+\sqrt{57}}{4}\bigg)\bigg(\dfrac{11-\sqrt{57}}{4}\bigg)\\\\=\dfrac{121-57}{156} = \dfrac{64}{16} = 4

Answer:

a=10, b=5, c=2, d=12

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply each variable together

5*2=10

8*3=24

10x^{3}y^{2}/24x

the coefficients (numbers) can each be divided by 2

5x^{3} y^{2}/12x

subtract the "x" exponents together

5x^{2} y^{2}/12
