Algebra 2 Standard Deviation

Mathematics

Answer:

don't have answer but have how to do them

Step-by-step explanation:

What are z-scores?

A z-score measures exactly how many standard deviations above or below the mean a data point is.

Here's the formula for calculating a z-score:

z=\dfrac{\text{data point}-\text{mean}}{\text{standard deviation}}z=  

standard deviation

data point−mean

​  

z, equals, start fraction, start text, d, a, t, a, space, p, o, i, n, t, end text, minus, start text, m, e, a, n, end text, divided by, start text, s, t, a, n, d, a, r, d, space, d, e, v, i, a, t, i, o, n, end text, end fraction

Here's the same formula written with symbols:

z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}z=  

σ

x−μ

​  

z, equals, start fraction, x, minus, mu, divided by, sigma, end fraction

Here are some important facts about z-scores:

A positive z-score says the data point is above average.

A negative z-score says the data point is below average.

A z-score close to 000 says the data point is close to average.

A data point can be considered unusual if its z-score is above 333 or below -3−3minus, 3. [Really?]

Example 1

The grades on a history midterm at Almond have a mean of \mu = 85μ=85mu, equals, 85 and a standard deviation of \sigma = 2σ=2sigma, equals, 2.

Michael scored 868686 on the exam.

Find the z-score for Michael's exam grade.

\begin{aligned}z&=\dfrac{\text{his grade}-\text{mean grade}}{\text{standard deviation}}\\ \\ z&=\dfrac{86-85}{2}\\ \\ z&=\dfrac{1}{2}=0.5\end{aligned}

Michael's z-score is 0.50.50, point, 5. His grade was half of a standard deviation above the mean.

Example 2

The grades on a geometry midterm at Almond have a mean of \mu = 82μ=82mu, equals, 82 and a standard deviation of \sigma = 4σ=4sigma, equals, 4.

Michael scored 747474 on the exam.

Find the z-score for Michael's exam grade.

\begin{aligned}z&=\dfrac{\text{his grade}-\text{mean grade}}{\text{standard deviation}}\\ \\ z&=\dfrac{74-82}{4}\\ \\ z&=\dfrac{-8}{4}=-2\end{aligned}

Michael's z-score is -2−2minus, 2. His grade was two standard deviations below the mean.

If the interval (a, infinity) describes all values of x for which the graph of f(x)=4/x^2-6x+9 is decreasing, what is the value
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

The answer is "3".

Step-by-step explanation:

\texttt{Given graph equation: } \\\\\bold{\Rightarrow f(x)=\frac{4}{x^2-6x+9} }

\bold{\ interval:  (a,\infty)}

differentiate the function f(x):

\Rightarrow f'(x) = \frac{d }{dx}(\frac{4}{x^2-6x+9})\\\\

Formula:

\bold{\frac{d}{dx} \frac{v}{u}= \frac{u \frac{d}{dx} v- v\frac{d}{dx}u }{u^2}}

\Rightarrow f'(x) = \frac{d }{dx}(\frac{4}{x^2-6x+9})\\\\\\\Rightarrow f'(x) = \frac{d }{dx}(\frac{(x^2-6x+9) \frac{d}{dx} 4- 4\frac{d}{dx}(x^2-6x+9) }{(x^2-6x+9)^2})\\\\\\\Rightarrow f'(x) = \frac{d }{dx}(\frac{(x^2-6x+9) \times 0 - 4(2x-6) }{(x^2-6x+9)^2})\\\\\\\Rightarrow f'(x) =  \frac{- 4(2x-6)}{(x^2-6x+9)^2}\\\\\\\Rightarrow  \frac{- 4(2x-6)}{(x^2-6x+9)^2}=0\\\\\Rightarrow - 4(2x-6)=0\\\\\Rightarrow  8x-24=0\\\\\Rightarrow  8x=24\\\\\Rightarrow  x=\frac{24}{8}\\\\\Rightarrow  x=3\\\\

since the value of x in: (-3 ,\infty) \ \  and  \ \ (3, \infty) and f'(x). So, the value of a is 3

Find the value of 9x+4y when x=4 and y=-3
jasenka [17]

Answer:

you substitute x for 4 and so you multiply 9 x 4 which will give you 36 and then you have to add four times y so you substitute y for -3 and you add 36 - 12 which will give you 24
