Answer:

Option (C) 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the random variable denoting the amount of gunpowder in the shop be 'x'.

x ~ N(20, 2) i.e. (x-20)/2 ~ (0, 1)

Let 'a' be the amount (in pounds) of gunpowder to stock in inventory.

Thus, P(x<a) = 1 - 0.02 = 0.98

i.e. P[(x-20)/2<(a-20)/2] = 0.98

i.e. ф [(a-2)/2] = 0.98

i.e. (a-20)/2 = ф⁻¹ (0.98) = 2.054

i.e. a = 20 + (2 × 2.054) = 24.108 ≈ 24 pounds

24 pounds of gunpowder to stock in inventory.

Option (C) 24

What is the quotient (x3 – 3x2 + 5x – 3) ÷ (x – 1)?
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

  1. x^2 -2x +3
  2. x^2 +2x +3

Step-by-step explanation:

The quotient in each case can be found by any of several means, including synthetic division (possibly the easiest), polynomial long division, or graphing.

1. The graph shows you the quotient is (x-1)^2 +2 = x^2 -2x +3.

2. The graph shows you the quotient is (x+1)^2 +2 = x^2 +2x +3.
