Answer:

23.58-th

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard deviation of company B's profit is:

\sigma_B=\sqrt{2.25}\sigma_A

Let X be the profit correspondent to the 14th percentile of company A's profit.

The z-score for 14th percentile of a normal distribution is roughly -1.08.

The z-scores for X in companies A and B are:

-1.08 = \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma_a} \\z_B = \frac{X-\mu}{\sqrt{2.25}*\sigma_a}\\z_B=\frac{-1.08}{\sqrt{2.25}}\\z_B = -0.72

The z-score for X in company B's profit distribution is -0.72, which corresponds to the 23.58-th percentile.

Simplify the expression x^2+x-2/8x^2+4x/3x^2+10x+8
irina [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + x  - 2 = x² - x +2x -2 = x(x - 1) + 2*(x-1)  = (x-1)(x+2)

8x² + 4x = 4x ( 2x + 1)

3x² + 10x + 8 = 3x² + 6x + 4x + 4*2  =3x  * (x + 2) + 4 * ( x + 2) = (x + 2)(3x + 4)

You can use any data set in this table (except the row with x) to get the ratio.

so 20/196 is the ratio which equals about .102041

then multiply that decimal by the weight in the x row to see what x is

so 1078(.102041) = 110.000198 just round that to 110. you can also verify that ratio by checking other data points. for instance

490(.102041) = 50.00009 or 50

so you know x is 50 so answer is either b or d

then you know the ratio .102041, so does (10/98) = .102041

or does (98/10) = .102041

if you do the division you will see that (10/98) = .102041

so the answer is D
