Answer:

A = 25 so that the expression $x^2-10x+A$ is a perfect-square trinomial.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : expression $x^2-10x+A$

We have to find the value of A so that each expression is a perfect-square trinomial.

perfect-square is the term in the form of $(a+b)^2 \ or\ (a-b)^2$

Since , we know the algebraic identity,

$(a+b)^2=a^2+b^2+2ab\\\\ (a-b)^2=a^2+b^2-2ab$

Given expression $x^2-10x+A$ is of the form of $(a-b)^2=a^2+b^2-2ab$

Thus, comparing , we get,

a= x ,

-2ab = -10x

⇒ b = 5

Thus adding b² term to get perfect-square trinomial.

b² = 25

Thus, the perfect-square trinomial becomes $x^2-10x+25=(x-5)^2$

So, A = 25

A large random sample was taken of body temperatures of women at a university. The data from the sample were normally distribute

ivanzaharov [21]

The best estimate of the proportion of all women at this university who have a body temperature more than 2 standard deviations above the mean is 2.28%.

Since the sample is normally distributed and has a mean μ = 98.52 F and a standard deviation, σ = 0.727 F and we need to find the percentage of all womenat this university who have a body temperature more than 2 standards deviations above the mean.

<h3>The normal distribution</h3>

Since the sample is normally distributed, 50% of the sample is below the mean. We have 34% of the sample at 1 standard deviation away from the mean and 47¹/₂% at 2 standard deviations above the mean.

<h3>Percentage below 2 standard deviations away from mean</h3>

So, the percentage below 2 standard deviations from the mean is 50% + 47¹/₂% = 97¹/₂%.

<h3>Percentage above 2 standard deviations away from mean</h3>

So, the percentage above 2 standard deviations from the mean is 100% - 97¹/₂% = 2¹/₂% = 2.5 %

Since 2.28 % is the closest to 2.5 % from the options, the best estimate is 2.28 %.

So, the best estimate of the proportion of all women at this university who have a body temperature more than 2 standard deviations above the mean is 2.28%.
