Answer:

Option A)

$s = \dfrac{\text{Range}}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Range Rule of Thumb

The range Rule of thumb states that the range is four times the standard deviation.
The standard deviation is a measure of dispersion.

$\text{Range = Maximum - Minimum}\\\text{s: Standard Deviation}\\\text{Range rule of Thumb:}\\\text{Range} = 4\times s\\\\s = \dfrac{\text{Maximum - Minimum}}{4}$

Thus, the correct answer is

$s = \dfrac{\text{Range}}{4}$

What are the solutions to the quadratic equation -2x^2 + 6x + 3 = 0?

mario62 [17]

For this, we will be using the quadratic formula, which is $x=\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$ , with a=x^2 coefficient, b=x coefficient, and c = constant. Our equation will look like this: $x=\frac{-6+/-\sqrt{6^2-4*(-2)*3}}{2*(-2)}$

Firstly, solve the multiplications and the exponents: $x=\frac{-6+/-\sqrt{36+24}}{-4}$

Next, do the addition: $x=\frac{-6+/-\sqrt{60}}{-4}$

Next, your equation will be split into two: $x=\frac{-6+\sqrt{60}}{-4},\frac{-6-\sqrt{60}}{-4}$ . Solve them separately, and your answer will be $x=-0.436,3.436$
