Answer:

2x^3-3x^2-10x+15\\

Step-by-step explanation:

To find (fg)(x), we have to look at f(x) and g(x) and multiply the two quantities together. We are already given the two quantities individually so all that is left is the multiplication:

(fg)(x)=(-2x+3)(5-x^2)=-10x+2x^3+15-3x^2\\

If we reorder the terms to go from highest degree to lowest, we get our final answer to be the following:

2x^3-3x^2-10x+15

A small gym in Biloxi, Mississippi, averages about 50 customers on weekdays with a standard deviation of 10. It is safe to assum
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

It is very unusual as the probability to get a sample average of 75 or more customers if the manager had not offered the discount is 0.006    

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 50

Standard Deviation, σ = 10

We are given that the distribution of number of customers is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

In an attempt to increase the number of weekday customers, the manager offers a $10 membership discount on 5 consecutive weekdays and  the sample mean of customers during this weekday period jumps to 75.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

a) P(sample average of 75 or more customers if the manager had not offered the discount)

P(x > 75)

P( x > 75) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{75 - 50}{10}) = P(z > 2.5)

= 1 - P(z \leq 2.5)

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(x > 610) = 1 - 0.994 = 0.006= 0.6\%

It is very unusual as the probability to get a sample average of 75 or more customers if the manager had not offered the discount is 0.006

b) Yes, the managers discount strategy worked as it increased the average number of customers from 50 customers to 75 customers.

7. ​Jack and Max share some counters. Jack has 3 times as many counters as Max.
FrozenT [24]
To answer this item, we let x be the number of counters that Max has. By the representation, the number of counters that Jack has is 3x. 

a. Ratio of counters,
                               3x:x 
which can be simplified by dividing by x both sides of the ratio giving us the answer of, 
                               3:1

b. Fraction of counters Max have,
                                fraction = x / (x + 3x) = 1/4
