svet-max [94.6K]3 years ago

3 0

Step-by-step explanation:

x2 - 7x + 12

Finding factors of 12

x2 - 4x - 3x + 12

x(x - 4) - 3(x - 4)

(x-4) (x-3) are the factors

Option C is the correct answer

A certain cold remedy has an 88% rate of success of reducing symptoms within 24 hours. Find the probability that in a random sam

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

The probability of cured people in who took the remedy is 8/9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Success rate of the cold remedy = 88%

The number of people who took the remedy = 45

Now, 88% of 45 = $\frac{88}{100} \times 45 = 39.6$

and 39.6 ≈ 40

So, out of 45 people, the remedy worked on total 40 people.

Now, let E: Event of people being cured by cold remedy

Favorable outcomes = 40

$\textrm{Probability of Event E} = \frac{\textrm{Total number of favorable outcomes}}{\textrm{Total outcomes}}$

or, $\textrm{Probability of people getting cured} = \frac{\textrm{40}}{\textrm{45}}$ = $\frac{8}{9}$

Hence, the probability of cured people in who took the remedy is 8/9.

Determine whether there is a difference between the two data sets that is not apparent from a comparison of the measures of cent

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

It seems the question is incomplete as the two data sets implied from the question are not visible.

However, two data sets having identical measures of center have a difference.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's consider these two data sets:

2, 2, 3, 5, 6, 6 and 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 19

Both were contrived.

The most reliable among the measures of center is the mean. The mean of each is calculated by summing the data and dividing by the number of elements. In both sets, the mean is 4.

The data in the first set seem to be concentrated around the mean indeed. But for the second data set, one of them, 19, is obviously very far from the others and the mean. We need another measure to describe this: standard deviation.

Its formula is:

$\rho=\sqrt{\dfrac{\sum (x-\overline{x})^2}{n}}$

$x$ represents each data, $\overline{x}$ is the mean and $n$ is the number of items. $x-\overline{x}$ is the deviation from the mean of each data item.
