Answer:

x= -1/2 and x=2/11

Step-by-step explanation:

Write the 7x as a difference. It'll make it easier to factor out. An example of this would be 11x-4x

Therefore, the equation would look like this: 22x^2 + 11x-4x -2 =0

Look at it as if there are two equations: 22x^2+11x and -4x-2

Factor out the greatest common factor, which is 11 from the first equation. The equation will then look like this: 11x(2x+1)

Take the GCF for the second equation as well (which is -2). The equation should then also look like this: (2x+1)

Use the numbers on the outside of each of the parenthesis to form its own equation (to factor it out). This will be 11x-2

Now we have factored! Since the parenthesis equations are the same, we know that that is also part of the equation, so:

(11x-2)(2x+1)

Solve each equation for x by equaling them both to zero

5. Based on recent results, scores on the SAT test are normally distributed with a mean of 1511 and a standard deviation of 312.

Answer:

The actual SAT score is 2024.

The equivalent ACT score is 29.49.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

SAT score that is in the 95th percentile

Scores on the SAT test are normally distributed with a mean of 1511 and a standard deviation of 312, which means that $\mu = 1511, \sigma = 312$
