For what real numbers x is the value of x2 – 6x + 9 negative
Nutka1998 [239]
A real numbers are numbers that can be found on a number line, they include both rational and irrational numbers.
We can first solve the equation;
x² - 6x + 9 =0, using completing square method;
 x²- 6x + (-3)² = -9 + (-3)²
     (x-3)² = 0
       x = 3
therefore,  both values of x are 3, thus the expression has no real number x is negative.

The diameters of bolts produced in a machine shop are normally distributed with a mean of 5.71 millimeters and a standard deviat
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

The bolts with diameter less than 5.57 millimeters and with diameter greater than 5.85 millimeters should be rejected.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the diameters of bolts produced in a machine shop are normally distributed with a mean of 5.71 millimeters and a standard deviation of 0.08 millimeters.    

Let us find the sample score that corresponds to z-score of bottom 4%.  

From normal distribution table we got z-score corresponding to bottom 4% is -1.75 and z-score corresponding to top 4% or data above 96% is 1.75.

Upon substituting these values in z-score formula we will get our sample scores (x) as:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

-1.75=\frac{x-5.71}{0.08}

-1.75*0.08=x-5.71

-0.14=x-5.71

-0.14+5.71=x-5.71+5.71

5.57=x

Therefore, the bolts with diameters less than 5.57 millimeters should be rejected.

Now let us find sample score corresponding to z-score of 1.75 as upper limit.

1.75=\frac{x-5.71}{0.08}

1.75*0.08=x-5.71

0.14=x-5.71

0.14+5.71=x-5.71+5.71

5.85=x  

Therefore, the bolts with diameters greater than 5.85 millimeters should be rejected.

Gambling at a slot machine is an example of which reinforcement schedule?
gogolik [260]

Answer:

d. Variable ratio

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to determine that gambling at a slot machine is an example of which reinforcement schedule.

Let us see our given choices one by one.

a. Fixed ratio

We know that in fixed ratio schedule, reinforcement is delivered after the completion of a number of responses. An example of fixed ratio is a reward to every 6th response.

b. Fixed interval

We know that in fixed interval schedule the first response is rewarded only after a specified amount of time has elapsed. An example of fixed interval schedule is weekly paycheck.

c. Variable interval

We know that in variable interval schedule, the reinforcement is delivered at changing and unpredictable intervals of time.

d. Variable ratio

In variable ratio schedule, a response is reinforced after an unpredictable number of responses. Gambling and lottery are examples of variable ratio.

Therefore, option 'd' is the correct choice.
