<h3>Answer:</h3>

y = 8x² -4x +4

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

I find it quick and easy to let a graphing calculator do quadratic regression on the given points. It gives the coefficients of the equation directly. (See attached.)

_____

If you want to do this "by hand," you can substitute each of the x and y value pairs into the equation to get three linear equations in a, b, and c. These are generally easy to solve, as the "c" variable can be eliminated right away.

<em>For x = 2</em>

... 28 = a·2² +b·2 +c = 4a +2b +c

<em>For x = 4</em>

... 116 = a·4² +4b +c = 16a +4b +c

<em>For x = -3</em>

... 88 = a·(-3)² +b·(-3) +c = 9a -3b +c

Subtracting the first and third equations from the second, we have ...

... (16a +4b +c) -(4a +2b +c) = (116) -(28) ⇒ 12a +2b = 88

... (16a +4b +c) -(9a -3b +c) = (116) -(88) ⇒ 7a +7b = 28

Dividing the first of these reduced equations by 2, and the second by 7, we have ...

  • 6a +b = 44
  • a +b = 4

Subtracting the second of these from the first gives ...

... (6a +b) -(a +b) = (44) -(4) ⇒ 5a = 40

From which we find

... a = 8

... b = 4 -a = 4 -8 = -4

We choose the first of the original equations to find c:

... c = 28 -4a -2b = 28 -4·8 -2(-4)

... = 28 -32 +8 = 4

With (a, b, c) = (8, -4, 4), the equation of the parabola is ...

... y = 8x² -4x +4

Answer:

They Would be if they Have a pattern from left to right such as +2 or -5.

Step-by-step explanation:

If an example is counting up from 15 to 31 and 0 to 8 the pattern is Adding Two. So if the numbers decrease or increase in a certain way, then you can find out what it is and thn bam, your answer to the question.

The distribution of IQ scores can be modeled by a normal distribution with mean 100 and standard deviation 15.
evablogger [386]

Answer:

4.4% of the population with IQ between 120 and 125.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 100

Standard Deviation, σ = 15

We are given that the distribution of IQ scores is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

a) Let X be a person's IQ score.

Then, density functions for IQ scores is given by:

P(x) = \displaystyle\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2\pi}}e^{-\frac{z^2}{2}}\\\\\text{where,}\\\\z = \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\P(x) = \displaystyle\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2\pi}}e^{-\frac{(x-\mu)^2}{2\sigma^2}}\\\\P(x) = \displaystyle\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2\pi}}e^{-\frac{(x-100)^2}{450}}

b) P(population with IQ between 120 and 125.)

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

P(120 \leq x \leq 125) = P(\displaystyle\frac{120 - 100}{15} \leq z \leq \displaystyle\frac{125-100}{15}) = P(1.33 \leq z \leq 1.66)\\\\= P(z \leq 1.66) - P(z < 1.33)\\= 0.952 - 0.908 = 0.044 = 4.4\%

P(120 \leq x \leq 125) = 4.4\%
