Answer:
Number of points, x, Number of segments, y
x: 2, 3, 4, 5, ... N,. ...
y: 1, 3, 6, 10, ... (N-1)(N)/2, ...
Step-by-step explanation:
Adding Nth point, there are N-1 new segments,
and (sum over {i = 1 to N-1} of i) total segments. As Gauss knew when he was c.10 yo, the sum is (N-1)(N)/2.

Hello!
The variable of interest is
X: Weight of a male baby (pounds)
X~N(μ;σ²)
μ= 11.5 pounds
σ= 2.7 pounds
a) Find the 81st percentile of the baby weights.
This percentile is the value that separates the bottom 81% of the distribution from the top 19%
P(X≤x₁)= 0.81
For this you have to use the standard normal distribution. First you have to look the 81st percentile under the Z distribution and then "translate" it to a value of the variable X using the formula Z= (X- μ)/σ
P(Z≤z₁)= 0.81
z₁= 0.878
z₁= (x₁- μ)/σ
z₁*σ= x₁- μ
(z₁*σ) + μ= x₁
x₁= (z₁*σ) + μ
x₁= (2.7*0.878)+11.5
x₁= 13.8706 pounds
b) Find the 10th percentile of the baby weights.
P(X≤x₂)= 0.10
P(Z≤z₂)= 0.10
z₂= -1.282
z₂= (x₂- μ)/σ
z₂*σ= x₂- μ
(z₂*σ) + μ= x₂
x₂= (z₂*σ) + μ
x₂= (2.7*-1.282)+11.5
x₂= 8.0386 pounds
c) Find the first quartile of the baby weights.
P(X≤x₃)= 0.25
P(Z≤z₃)= 0.25
z₃= -0.674
z₃= (x₃- μ)/σ
z₃*σ= x₃- μ
(z₃*σ) + μ= x₃
x₃= (z₃*σ) + μ
x₃= (2.7*-0.674)+11.5
x₃= 9.6802 pounds
I hope this helps!
Answer:
3/512
Step-by-step explanation:
If we begin with <span>f(x)=2x^2−1 and graph this quadratic, and then translate the entire graph 2 units to the left, we get g(x) = 2(x+2)^2 -1.
Were it 4 units to the left, then h(x) = 2(x+4)^2 - 1 (example only)</span>
