Answer:

At least 95% of data falls between 4 and 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean = 12

Standard deviation = 4

At least what percent of data falls between 4 and 20?

4 = 12 - 2*4

So 4 is two standard deviations below the mean

20 = 12 + 2*4

So 20 is two standard deviations above the mean

By the Empirical Rule, at least 95% of data falls between 4 and 20.

Use the discriminant to describe the roots of each equation. Then select the best description. x^2 + 9x + 14 = 0
NISA [10]

B

given a quadratic equation in standard form

ax² + bx + c = 0

Then we can describe the nature of the roots using the discriminant

Δ = b² - 4ac

• if b² - 4ac > 0, then 2 real, distinct and irrational roots

• if b² - 4ac > 0 and a perfect square, then real and rational roots

• if b² - 4ac = 0, then real and equal roots

• if b² - 4ac < 0, then roots are not real

for x² + 9x + 14 = 0

with a = 1, b= 9 and c = 14, then

b² - 4ac = 9² - (4 × 1 × 14 ) = 81 - 56 = 25

Since b² - 4ac > 0 and a perfect square, then roots are real and rational

Can someone help me with 14 and a few others I need help ):
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

26, -0.85, 17

Step-by-step explanation:

hi! so for 14, you can plug in -11 for every x in the equation.

f(-11)= 15-(-11)

=15+11

=26

your answer is 26.

for 15, we can plug in 0.3 for x.

g(0.3)=-2.5(0.3)-0.1

= -0.75-0.1

= -0.85

your answer is -0.85.

for 16, you can plug in -17 for x.

f(-17)= -(-17)

=17

your answer is 17.
