Answer:

<h2>              a = 2,    b = -1  </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

p(x) = ax³ + x² - 2x + b

p(1) = a(1)³ + 1² - 2•1 + b = a + 1 - 2 + b = a + b - 1

a + b - 1 = 0  ⇒   b = 1 - a

p(-1) = a(-1)³ + (-1)² - 2(-1) + b = -a + 1 + 2 + b = - a + b + 3

- a + b + 3 = 0    ∧   b = 1 - a

- a + (1 - a) + 3 = 0

- a + 1 - a + 3 = 0

-2a + 4 = 0

-2a = -4

 <u>a = 2</u>

<u>b = 1 - 2 = -1</u>

Answer:

a. z-score = -1.2

b. The age 23 years old is -1.2 standard deviations below the mean

c. The age is not unusual

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Transformation to z-score

Mathematically;

z-score = (x - μ)/σ

where σ and μ are the standard deviation and the mean respectively.

From the question, x = 23, μ = 27.2 and σ = 3.5

Let’s put these into the equation;

z-score = (23-27.2)/3.5 = -1.2

b. Interpretation of result

The interpretation is that 23 years old is -1.2 standard deviations below the mean

c. Determination

The age is not unusual. This is because any z-value below -2 or above 2 is considered unusual

-1.2 is above -2 and thus it is not unusual
