The z-score is given by:
z=(x-μ)/σ
where:
μ-mean
σ- standard deviation

The z-score for ted will be:
x=185.82
μ=186.37
σ=0.323
thus
z=(186.37-185.82)/0.323=1.70

The z-score for Karen:
x=112.25
μ=112.6
σ=0.141
hence:
z=(112.25-112.6)/0.141=-2.48

Comparing the two z-score, we conclude that Ted had a convincing win because he has not deviated so much from the win.

There are two blue marbles so you have a 2/8 probability of drawing a blue marble on each draw since the marble is replaced after the first draw. 2/8 can be simplified to be 1/4 and then converted to be 0.25 per draw. 0.25 plus 0.25 equals 0.5. Since we are dealing with percentages multiply 0.5 x 100 which equals 50. Now take 50 and divided by the total number of marbles in the bag which is 8. 50 divided by 8 equals 6.25. So it would be about 6%.

What are the two solutions of 2x^2 = -X^2 - 5x - 1?
Sidana [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve 2x^2 = -X^2 - 5x - 1.  Consolidate all terms on the left side and write 0 on the right side:

3x^2 + 5x + 1 = 0.  This is a quadratic equation.  Let's solve it for x using the quadratic formula:

a = 3, b = 5, c = 1, and so the discriminant is b^2 - 4ac = 5^2 - 4(3)(1) = 13.  Because the discriminant is positive, we know that there are two distinct, real roots; the graphs of y = 2x^2 and y = x^2 - 5x - 1 intersect in two places whose x-coordinates are the real roots mentioned above.

Answer A is not correct as stated, but would be correct if we were to replace "the y-coordinates" with "the x-coordinates."  

Answer C would be correct if and only if we write y = x^2 - 5x - 1.

Let f(x) = 12 over the quantity of 4 x + 2 . Find f(−1). (1 point) a −6b −2c 2d 6
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

f(-1) = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 12 / ( 4x+2)

Let x = -1

f(-1) = 12 / ( 4*-1+2)

     = 12 / (-4+2)

     = 12 / -2

    = -6
