Answer:

The value of x = -1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$f\left(x\right)=\frac{5}{2x}+7$

$f(x)=-13$

To determine

The value of x = ?

Using the function

$f\left(x\right)=\frac{5}{2x}+7$

substituting f(x) = -13 in the function

$-13=\frac{5}{2x}+7$

Subtract 7 from both sides

$-13-7=\frac{5}{2x}+7-7$

Simplify

$-20=\frac{5}{2x}$

Multiply both sides by 2x

$-20\cdot \:2x=\frac{5}{2x}\cdot \:2x$

Simplify

$-40x=5$

Divide both sides by -40

$\frac{-40x}{-40}=\frac{5}{-40}$

$x=-\frac{1}{8}$

Therefore, the value of x = -1/8

Which of the following are considered measures of center? I. mean II. median III. interquartile range A. III only B. I and II on

andrezito [222]

Answer: Choice B) I and II only

The mean and median are considered measures of center as they represent the average of a data set. The average basically being a point that collectively speaks for all of the data. For example, if you have a group of basketball players whose heights range from 5'11" to 6'9", then there is no single height to report; however, we can compute the average to get a basic idea of the single height. The interquartile range (IQR) is a measure of variability or spread of the data. The higher the IQR, the more spread out the data is. Recall that 50% of the data is represented by the IQR and that IQR = Q3 - Q1 where Q1 and Q3 are the first and third quartiles respectively. So because the IQR is a measure of spread, it is not considered a center point.

Among persons donating blood to a clinic, 85% have Rh+ blood (that is, the Rhesus factor is present in their blood.) Six people

Leona [35]

Answer:

a) There is a 62.29% probability that at least one of the five does not have the Rh factor.

b) There is a 22.36% probability that at most four of the six have Rh+ blood.

c) There need to be at least 8 people to have the probability of obtaining blood from at least six Rh+ donors over 0.95.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each person donating blood, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they have Rh+ blood, or they do not. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

In this problem we have that:

$p = 0.85, n = 6$ .

a) fine the probability that at least one of the five does not have the Rh factor.

Either all six have the factor, or at least one of them do not. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So:

$P(X < 6) + P(X = 6) = 1$

$P(X < 6) = 1 - P(X = 6)$

In which:

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 6) = C_{6,6}.(0.85)^{6}.(0.15)^{0} = 0.3771$

$P(X < 6) = 1 - P(X = 6) = 1 - 0.3771 = 0.6229$

There is a 62.29% probability that at least one of the five does not have the Rh factor.

b) find the probability that at most four of the six have Rh+ blood.

Either more than four have Rh+ blood, or at most four have. So

$P(X \leq 4) + P(X > 4) = 1$

$P(X \leq 4) = 1 - P(X > 4)$

In which

$P(X > 4) = P(X = 5) + P(X = 6)$

$P(X = 5) = C_{6,5}.(0.85)^{5}.(0.15)^{1} = 0.3993$

$P(X = 6) = C_{6,6}.(0.85)^{6}.(0.15)^{0} = 0.3771$

$P(X > 4) = P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) = 0.3993 + 0.3771 = 0.7764$

$P(X \leq 4) = 1 - P(X > 4) = 1 - 0.7764 = 0.2236$

There is a 22.36% probability that at most four of the six have Rh+ blood.

c) The clinic needs six Rh+ donors on a certain day. How many people must donate blood to have the probability of obtaining blood from at least six Rh+ donors over 0.95?

With 6 donors:

$P(X = 6) = C_{6,6}.(0.85)^{6}.(0.15)^{0} = 0.3771$

37.71% probability of obtaining blood from at least six Rh+ donors over 0.95.

With 7 donors:

$P(X = 6) = C_{7,6}.(0.85)^{6}.(0.15)^{1} = 0.3960$

0.3771 + 0.3960 = 0.7764 = 77.64% probability of obtaining blood from at least six Rh+ donors over 0.95.

With 8 donors

$P(X = 6) = C_{8,6}.(0.85)^{6}.(0.15)^{2} = 0.2376$

0.3771 + 0.3960 + 0.2376 = 1.01 = 101% probability of obtaining blood from at least six Rh+ donors over 0.95.

There need to be at least 8 people to have the probability of obtaining blood from at least six Rh+ donors over 0.95.

Choose one of the factors of x15 − 64. (2 points)

Lorico [155]

We have been given the function $x^{15}-64$

Convert this expression in difference of cubes form.

$x^{15}-64\\=(x^5)^3-4^3$

Now, in order to find the factors, we can apply the difference of cubes form, which is given by

$x^3-y^3=(x-y)(x^2+xy-y^2)$

On applying this formula, we get

$(x^5-4)(x^{10}+4x^5+16)$

Hence, the factors of the given expression are

$(x^5-4) \text{ and }(x^{10}+4x^5+16)$

Out of the given option, A is the correct option.

x^5 − 4 is the required factor.
