Mark owns Siberian Husky sled dogs. He knows from data collected over the years that the weight of the dogs is a normal distribu

kozerog [31]

Calculate the z-score for the given data points in the item using the equation,

z-score = (x - μ) / σ

where x is the data point, μ is the mean, and σ is the standard deviation.

Substituting,
(47.7) z-score = (47.7 - 52.5)/2.4 = -2

This translates to a percentile of 2.28%.

(54.9) z-score = (54.9 - 52.5)/2.4 = 1

This translates to a percentile of 84.13%.

Then, subtract the calculate percentiles to give us the final answer of <em>81.85%.</em>

Thus, 81.85% of the Siberian Husky sled dogs are expected to weigh between 47.7 and 54.9 lbs.

1.) Find the value of the discriminant and the the number of real solutions of

ruslelena [56]

Hi there!

When we have an equation standard form...
$a {x}^{2} + bx + c = 0$
...the formula of the discriminant is
D = b^2 - 4ac

When
D > 0 we have two real solutions
D = 0 we have one real solutions
D < 0 we don't have real solutions

1.) Find the value of the discriminant and the the number of real solutions of
x^2-8x+7=0

Plug in the values from the equation into the formula of the discriminant

$( - 8) {}^{2} - 4 \times 1 \times 7 = 64 - 28 = 36$

D > 0 and therefore we have two real solutions.

2.) Find the value of the discriminant and the number of real solutions of
2x^2+4x+2=0

Again, plug in the values from the equation into the formula of the discriminant.

${4}^{2} - 4 \times 2 \times 2 = 16 - 16 = 0$

D = 0 and therefore we have one real solution.

~ Hope this helps you.
