o threw it, is modeled by w(x)=-5(x-8)(x+4)w(x)=−5(x−8)(x+4)w, left parenthesis, x, right parenthesis, equals, minus, 5, left parenthesis, x, minus, 8, right parenthesis, left parenthesis, x, plus, 4, right parenthesis What is the maximum height that the stone will reach?

For this case we have the following function:
 <span>w (x) = - 5 (x-8) (x + 4)
 </span><span>Rewriting we have:
 </span><span>w (x) = - 5 (x ^ 2 + 4x - 8x - 32)
 </span><span>w (x) = - 5x ^ 2 - 20x + 40x + 160
 </span><span>w (x) = - 5x ^ 2 + 20x + 160
 </span><span>Then, deriving we have:
 </span><span>w '(x) = - 10x + 20
 </span><span>We equal zero and clear x:
 </span><span>0 = -10x + 20
 </span><span>10x = 20
 </span><span>x = 20/10
 </span><span>x = 2 seconds
 </span><span>Substituting values:
 </span><span>w (2) = - 5 (2-8) (2 + 4)
 </span><span>w (2) = - 5 (-6) (6)
 </span><span>w (2) = 180 meters
 </span>Answer:
 
The maximum height that the stone will reach is:
 
w (2) = 180 meters

A population has a mean of 300 and a standard deviation of 40. Suppose a sample of size 100 is selected and is used to estimate
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

a: 0.9544 9 within 8 units)

b: 0.9940

Step-by-step explanation:

We have µ = 300 and σ = 40.  The sample size, n = 100.  

For the sample to be within 8 units of the population mean, we would have sample values of 292 and 308, so we want to find:

P(292 < x < 308).

We need to find the z-scores that correspond to these values using the given data.  See attached photo 1 for the calculation of these scores.

We have P(292 < x < 308) = 0.9544

Next we want the probability of the sample mean to be within 11 units of the population mean, so we want the values from 289 to 311.  We want to find

P(289 < x < 311)

We need to find the z-scores that correspond to these values.  See photo 2 for the calculation of these scores.

We have P(289 < x < 311) = 0.9940
