17. Define p~q by the equation p~q=p?q?

garik1379 [7]

To put an equation into (x+c)^2, we need to see if the trinomial is a perfect square.
General form of a trinomial: ax^2+bx+c
If c is a perfect square, for example (1)^2=1, 2^2=4, that's a good indicator that it's a perfect square trinomial.
Here, it is, because 1 is a perfect square.
To ensure that it's a perfect square trinomial, let's look at b, which in this case is 2.
It has to be double what c is.
2 is the double of 1, therefore this is a perfect square trinomial.
Knowing this, we can easily put it into the form (x+c)^2.
And the answer is: (x+1)^2.
To do it the long way:
x^2+2x+1
Find 2 numbers that add to 2 and multiply to 1.
They are both 1.
x^2+x+x+1
x(x+1)+1(x+1)
Gather like terms
(x+1)(x+1)
or (x+1)^2.

If a = 12 and 120% of a is equal to 80\% of bthen what is a + b ?

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

The answer is 30

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to find 120% of a (12).

$\frac{12}{1} \times \frac{120}{100} = 14.4$

Therefore; 14.4 is 80% of b, and we are trying to find 100% of b

$14.4 = 80\% \\ x = 100\%$

we do not know what is 100% therefore we call it *x*. In order to find this unknown value *x* we cross multiply.

$14.4 \times 100\% = 80\% \times x$

This is the same as saying;

$14.4 \times 1 = x \times \frac{4}{5}$

100% percent would be 1 because it is the whole number we are trying to find. The 80% would be 4/5. To get 4/5 you can simply break down 80/100 ( this is 80% as a fraction).

so the new equation is: 14.4= 4/5x

We divide both sides by 4/5. Then we will get x tobe equal to 18. Therefore b is 18. We were asked to find (a + b) so. 18+12 = 30

Suppose the heights of a population of people are normally distributed with a mean of 65.5 inches and a standard deviation of 2.

kupik [55]

Answer:

a) $P(64.2$

b) 69.764

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

2) Part a

Let X the random variable that represent the heights of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(65.5,2.6)$

Where $\mu=65.5$ and $\sigma=2.6$

We are interested on this probability

$P(64.2$

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

$P(64.2$

And we can find this probability on this way:

$P(-0.50$

And in order to find these probabilities we can find tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.

$P(-0.50$

3) Part b

For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

$P(X>a)=0.05$ (a)

$P(X$ (b)

Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.

As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.95 of the area on the left and 0.05 of the area on the right it's z=1.64. On this case P(Z<1.64)=0.95 and P(z>1.64)=0.05

If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:

$P(X$
