To effectively determine the correct answer, it would be helpful to write this into an algebraic expression. We let x as the number. We do as follows:

Four times the square of a certain number increased by 6 times the number equals 108.

4x^2 + 6x = 108

The numbers can be either of the following since the equation generated was a quadratic equation which has two roots.
x = 4.5
x = -6

The amount of time Ricardo spends brushing his teeth follows a Normal distribution with unknown mean and standard deviation. Ric

Papessa [141]

Let $X$ denote the number of minutes spent brushing his teeth, and let $\mu$ be the mean and $\sigma$ the standard deviation for this distribution.

$\mathbb P(X$

The z-score corresponding to this probability is approximately $z=-0.2533$ , which means

$\dfrac{1-\mu}\sigma=-0.2533\iff\mu-0.2533\sigma=1$

Next, (note the sign change)

$\mathbb P(X>2)=0.02\implies\mathbb P(X\le2)=\mathbb P\left(\dfrac{X-\mu}\sigma\le\dfrac{2-\mu}\sigma\right)=0.98$

The corresponding z-score is approximately $z=2.0538$ , so you have

$\dfrac{2-\mu}\sigma=2.0538\iff\mu+2.0538\sigma=2$

Solving the two equations for $\mu$ and $\sigma$ , you'll find that the mean is approximately $\mu=1.1098$ and the standard deviation is approximately $\sigma=0.4334$ .
