Answer:

The probability that his bill will be less than $50 a month or more than $150 for a single month is 0.3728 = 37.28%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

A salesman who uses his car extensively finds that his gasoline bills average $125.32 per month with a standard deviation of $49.51.

This means that \mu = 125.32, \sigma = 49.51

Less than 50:

p-value of Z when X = 50. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{50 - 125.32}{49.51}

Z = -1.52

Z = -1.52 has a p-value of 0.0643

More than 150

1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 150. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{150 - 125.32}{49.51}

Z = 0.5

Z = 0.5 has a p-value of 0.6915

1 - 0.6915 = 0.3085

The probability that his bill will be less than $50 a month or more than $150 for a single month is:

0.0643 + 0.3085 = 0.3728

The probability that his bill will be less than $50 a month or more than $150 for a single month is 0.3728 = 37.28%.

Answer:

(2x + 5)(2x + 1).

(6x - 5)(2x + 1).

Step-by-step explanation:

4x^2 + 12x + 5.

Use the 'ac' method:

a * c = 4 * 5 = 20  so we need 2 numbers whose product is 20 and whose sum is +12.:-  2 and 10 look good, so we write:

4x^2 + 2x + 10x + 5

Now we factor by grouping:-

= 2x(2x + 1) + 5(2x + 1)

= (2x + 5)(2x + 1)   (answer).

12x^2  - 4x  - 5

ac = 12*-5 = - 60  and  we need 2 numbers sum to -4 .  these numbers could be  -10 and + 6:

12x^2 + 6x - 10x - 5

= 6x(2x + 1) - 5(2x + 1)

= (6x - 5)(2x + 1) (answer).
