This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

A study on the latest fad diet claimed that the amounts of weight lost by all people on this diet had a mean of 24.6 pounds and a standard deviation of 8.0 pounds.

Step 2 of 2 : If a sampling distribution is created using samples of the amounts of weight lost by 51 people on this diet, what would be the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample means? Round to two decimal places, if necessary.

Answer:

the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample means is 1.12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question,

population mean; μ = 24.6 pounds

Population standard deviation; σ = 8.0 pounds

sample size; n = 51

Now determine the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample means.

standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample means is simply

⇒ population standard deviation / √sample size

= 8.0 / √51

= 8.0 / 7.141428

= 1.120224 ≈ 1.12

Therefore, the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample means is 1.12

To add 20.4 + 3.75 + 4.25, Crystal first added 3.75 and 4.25. Which property did Crystal use to add mentally?

evablogger [386]

Answer:

Associative Property of Addition

Step-by-step explanation:

From the list of given options, option A correctly answers the question and this is because

$a + b + c = a + (b + c)$ --- (1)

or

$a + b + c = (a + b) + c$ --- (2)

<em>The above illustrations only apply to Associative Property of Addition</em>

In Crystal's case:

$20.4 + 3.75 + 4.25 = 20.4 + (3.75 + 4.25)$

This can be compared to (1) above

Hence;

<em>Option A answers the question</em>

Factorise 2x^2 - 3x -2 < 0

Galina-37 [17]

Step 1: Factor $2 x^{2} - 3x -2$
1. <span> Multiply 2 by -2, which is -4.</span>
2. <span>Ask: Which two numbers add up to -3 and multiply to -4?
</span>3. <span>Answer: 1 and -4
</span>4. Rewrite $-3x$ as the sum of $x$ and $-4x$

$2 x^{2} +x-4x-2\ \textless \ 0$

Step 2: <span>Factor out common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms.

</span> $x(2x+1)-2(2x+1)\ \textless \ 0$
<span>
Step 3: </span>Factor out the common term $2x+1$

$(2x+1)(x-2)\ \textless \ 0$

Step 4: Solve for $x$

1. Ask: When will $(2x+1)(x-2)$ equal zero?
2. Answer: When $2x + 1 = 0$ or $x-2=0$
3. <span>Solve each of the 2 equations above:

</span> $x=- \frac{1}{2} ,2$
<span>
Step 5: </span>From the values of $x$ <span>above, we have these 3 intervals to test.
x = < -1/2
-1/2 < x < 2
x > 2

Step 6: P</span><span>ick a test point for each interval

</span>For the interval $x\ \textless \ - \frac{1}{2} 
$
Lets pick $x=-1.$ Then, $2(-1) ^{2} -3 * -1 -2 \ \textless \ 0$
After simplifying, we get $3\ \textless \ 0$ , Which is false.
Drop this interval.
<span>
For this interval $- \frac{1}{2} \ \textless \ x\ \textless \ 2$
Lets pick $x=0$ . Then, $2* 0^{2} - 3 * 0-2\ \textless \ 0$ . After simplifying, we get $-2\ \textless \ 0,$ which is true. Keep this <span>interval.

For the interval </span> $x\ \textgreater \ 2$

Lets pick $x = 3.$ Then, $2 * 3 ^{2} -3*3-2\ \textless \ 0.$ After simplifying, we get $7\ \textless \ 0$ , Which is false. Drop this interval.

.Step 7: Therefore,
$- \frac{1}{2} \ \textless \ x\ \textless \ 2$

Done! :)</span>

During two years, the population of birds of an island became 7 times more than before. If the first year increase in the popula

9966 [12]

The percent increase of the second year was 85.71%

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential growth formula is y=a(1+r)^x

where;

y=population after x years

a=original population

r=growth rate as a decimal

x=number of time interval that have passed

Let starting population be p

The first year increase in the population was 40% this means;

r=0.4 , x=1 and a=p thus the equation will be

y=p(1+0.4)^1 ⇒⇒y=1.4 p

In the second year the population of birds of an island became 7 times more than before which is 7p

7p= 7*1.4p= 9.8p

Increase will be;

9.8p-1.4p=8.4

% increase will be;

8.4/9.8 *100 =85.71%
