Answer:

Option (1)

Step-by-step explanation:

x               -2              -1                 0                    1                   2

y               10            2.5                0                  2.5                3.0

Ist difference,

d_1=y_2-y_1

    =2.5-10=-7.5

d_2=y_3-y_2

    =0-2.5

    = -2.5

d_3=y_4-y_3

    =2.5-0

    = 2.5

d_4=y_5-y_4

    =10.0-2.5

    = 7.5

2nd difference,

x_1=d_2-d_1

    =-2.5+7.5

    = 5

x_2=d_3-d_2

    =2.5+2.5

    = 5

x_3=d_4-d_3

    =7.5-2.5

    = 5

Since 2nd difference is common, given table represents a quadratic equation.

Let the equation is,

y = ax²+ bx + c

For a point (0, 0) passing through the quadratic equation,

0 = c

Therefore, quadratic equation is y = ax² + bx

Since ordered pair (-1, 2.5) passes through the graph of the function,

2.5 = a(-1)² + b(-1)

a - b = 2.5 ------(1)

For another point (1, 2.5)

2.5 = a(1)² + b(1)

a + b = 2.5 ------(2)

By adding equations (1) and (2),

2a = 5

a = 2.5

and from equation (2)→ y = 0

Therefore, equation of the quadratic function given in the table is y = 2.5x²

Option (1) is the answer.

If three candys cost four dollars how much would two candy cost?
IrinaK [193]

Answer:≈2.67

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure this problem out, we must first figure out what a single piece of candy costs. So we take the total cost of the three candies and divide that number by the number of candies, or:

4/3,

to give us the number 1.3 repeating. This means that a piece of candy would cost $1.33. We multiply this by two to get approx. 2.67, or $2.67.

Hope that helped.

A^2+b^2=c^2
32^2+b^2=125^2
1024+b^2=15625

b^2=14601
√b^2=√14601
b=120.834598
Therefore the length if the leg is about 120.8 units long

A golf pro wants to determine if Titleist Pro V1 golf balls (1) travel farther, on average, than Callaway Chrome Soft golf balls
Greeley [361]

Complete options are;

A) Paired t-test for means

B) Paired Z-test for means

C) Z-test for proportion

D) t-test for means

E) Z-test for means

F) t-test for proportion

Answer:

B) Paired Z-test for means

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the distances travelled are normally distributed.

We are also trying to find out if the average distance travelled by the Titleist Pro V1 golf balls is farther than that of the Callaway Chrome Soft golf balls.

Also, the standard deviation of both cases are known.

Thus, this is where Paired Z-test for means is used.
