Subtracting 10x from the given equation gives
120 = 15x
Then dividing by 15 gives
8 = x
Zorah will have to play 8 hours in order to break even (cover her expenses exactly).
Answer:
i got 48x as my answer if its wrong sorry
Answer:
Explain the circumstances for which the interquartile range is the preferred measure of dispersion
Interquartile range is preferred when the distribution of data is highly skewed (right or left skewed) and when we have the presence of outliers. Because under these conditions the sample variance and deviation can be biased estimators for the dispersion.
What is an advantage that the standard deviation has over the interquartile range?
The most important advantage is that the sample variance and deviation takes in count all the observations in order to calculate the statistic.
Step-by-step explanation:
Previous concepts
The interquartile range is defined as the difference between the upper quartile and the first quartile and is a measure of dispersion for a dataset.

The standard deviation is a measure of dispersion obatined from the sample variance and is given by:

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equation is,
x² + (p + 1)x = 5 - 2p
x² + (p + 1)x - (5 - 2p) = 0
x² + (p + 1)x + (2p - 5) = 0
Properties for the roots of a quadratic equation,
1). Quadratic equation will have two real roots, discriminant will be greater than zero. [(b² - 4ac) > 0]
2). If the equation has exactly one root, discriminant will be zero [(b² - 4ac) = 0]
3). If equation has imaginary roots, discriminant will be less than zero [(b² - 4ac) < 0].
Discriminant of the given equation = 
For real roots,

p² + 2p + 1 - 8p + 20 > 0
p² - 6p + 21 > 0
For all real values of 'p', given equation will be greater than zero.
