Let's go through each answer.

Answer: The amount left over was 4.05 L.

Estimation: 3.15 + 4.75 is about 7.

7 L – 4 L = 3 L

The amount left over was about 3 L.

This is incorrect because 3.15+4.75 is closer to 8 than 7.

Answer: The amount left over was 3.95 L.

Estimation: 3.15 + 4.75 is about 8.

8 L – 4 L = 4 L

The amount left over was a little less than 4 L.

This is correct because 3.15+4.75 is close to 8 and to find the amount left over you do have to subtract.

The correct answer is B.

Answer: The amount left over was 3.95 L.

Estimation: 3.15 + 4.75 is about 8.

8 L – 4 L = 4 L

The amount left over was a little less than 4 L.

Grasshoppers are distributed at random in a large field according to a Poisson process with parameter a 5 2 per square yard. How

HACTEHA [7]

In this question, the Poisson distribution is used.

Poisson distribution:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

$\mu$ is the mean in the given interval.

Parameter of 5.2 per square yard:

This means that $\mu = 5.2r$ , in which r is the radius.

How large should the radius R of a circular sampling region be taken so that the probability of finding at least one in the region equals 0.99?

We want:

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 0.99$

Thus:

$P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.99 = 0.01$

We have that:

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

$P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-5.2r}*(5.2r)^{0}}{(0)!} = e^{-5.2r}$

Then

$e^{-5.2r} = 0.01$

$\ln{e^{-5.2r}} = \ln{0.01}$

$-5.2r = \ln{0.01}$

$r = -\frac{\ln{0.01}}{5.2}$

$r = 0.89$

Thus, the radius should be of at least 0.89.

2x^2-13x-24 factor the polynomial Explain please

vovangra [49]

Answer:

(x - 8)(2x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

To factor a polynomial of the form

ax² + bx + c,

follow these steps:

1) Multiply ac together.

2) Find 2 factors of ac that add to b. Call these factors p and q.

3) Break up the middle term of the polynomial into px + qx.

4) Factor by grouping.

Now let's follow the steps above with your problem.

You are given the polynomial

2x² - 13x - 24,

so a = 2, b = -13, and c = -24

1) Find ac.ac is the product 2(-24) = -48

2) Now we need to find 2 factors of -48 that add to b, -13.

I know that 48 = 3 × 16, so if we use -16 and 3 for the two numbers, we have

-16 + 3 = -13

and -16 × 3 = -48.

3) Now we break up the middle term of the polynomial, -13x, into -16x + 3x.

The polynomial is now

2x² - 16x + 3x - 24

4) We factor the polynomial by grouping. To factor by grouping, you factor a common factor out of the first 2 terms and factor out a common factor out of the last two terms.

2x² - 16x + 3x - 24 =

= 2x(x - 8) + 3(x - 8)

We now see the common factor of x - 8, so we factor that out.

= (x - 8)(2x + 3)

Answer: (x - 8)(2x + 3)
