Answer:
There are 118 plants that weight between 13 and 16 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
For any normal random variable X with mean μ and standard deviation σ : X ~ Normal(μ, σ)
This can be translated into standard normal units by :
Let X be the weight of the plant
X ~ Normal( 15 , 1.75 )
To find : P( 13 < X < 16 )
= P( -1.142857 < Z < 0.5714286 )
= P( Z < 0.5714286 ) - P( Z < -1.142857 )
= 0.7161454 - 0.1265490
= 0.5895965
So, the probability that any one of the plants weights between 13 and 16 pounds is 0.5895965
Hence, The expected number of plants out of 200 that will weight between 13 and 16 = 0.5895965 × 200
= 117.9193
Therefore, There are 118 plants that weight between 13 and 16 pounds.
Answer:
x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
Set equations equal to each other:
Subtract two from both sides
Factor out x^2 from the left side
Factor the right side, look for two factors of 9, which add to -6, which is just -3 and-3
So as you can see here, we have both sides in factored form, and both have a factor of (x-3) on both sides, and if one of the factors is zero, then the entire thing becomes zero, since 0 * anything= zero.
this means a solution would be at x=3, since it makes the right side 0 * 0 = 0, and the left side (3)^2 * 0 = 0
It's important to notice this, since had we divided by x-3 to make the equation a quadratic, we would've excluded this real solution, because when dividing by x-3 the solution x=3 makes it 0, so we would've been dividing by zero.
So one of the real solutions is at x=3
