1 answer:

5 0

Foil the binomials

First: n*n=n^2
Outer: n*-5=-5n
Inner: -3*n=-3n
Last: -3*-5=15

Put it together and simplify
n^2-5n-3n+15
n^2-8n+15

Final answer: A

Find the equation of the line passing through the point (2,-4) that is parallel to the line y=3x+2

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

y=3x-10

Step-by-step explanation:

When you have to find a parallel line, you take the slope of the other line, so we already know y=3x+b. Then, plug in 2 and -4 as your x and y values and you get -4=3(2)+b. Then solve 3×2=6, so -4=6+b, subtract 6 from both sides, -10=b.

What is an example of when you would want consistent data and, therefore, a small standard deviation?

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

12.1, 12.3,12.4,12.5,12.3,12.1,12.2

$\bar X= \frac{12.1+12.3+12.4+12.5+12.3+12.1+12.2}{7}=12.271$

And for the standard deviation we can use the following formula:

$s= \sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}$

And after replace we got:

$s = 0.1496$

And as we can ee we got a small value for the deviation <1 on this case.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example if we have the following data:

12.1, 12.3,12.4,12.5,12.3,12.1,12.2

We see that the data are similar for all the observations so we would expect a small standard deviation

If we calculate the sample mean we can use the following formula:

$\bar X=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}$

And replacing we got:

$\bar X= \frac{12.1+12.3+12.4+12.5+12.3+12.1+12.2}{7}=12.271$

And for the standard deviation we can use the following formula:

$s= \sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}$

And after replace we got:

$s = 0.1496$

And as we can ee we got a small value for the deviation <1 on this case.
