Answer:
A!!!
Step-by-step explanation:
i just took the test
Yes. If the segment only has 2 points, it can be named both ways.
Let

denote the random variable for the weight of a swan. Then each swan in the sample of 36 selected by the farmer can be assigned a weight denoted by

, each independently and identically distributed with distribution

.
You want to find

Note that the left side is 36 times the average of the weights of the swans in the sample, i.e. the probability above is equivalent to

Recall that if

, then the sampling distribution

with

being the size of the sample.
Transforming to the standard normal distribution, you have

so that in this case,

and the probability is equivalent to

Hello! So, this question is in the form of ax² - bx - c. First thingd first, let's multiply a and c together. c = -8 and a = 5. -8 * 5 is -40. Now, let's find two factors that have a product of 40, but a sum of 18. If you list the factors, you see that 2 and 20 have a product of 40, but 2 - 20 is -18. The factors we will use are -2 and 20.
How to factor it:
For this question, you can use something called a box method and factor it by finding a factor of each column and row. Just make 4 boxes and put 5x² on the top left and -40 on the bottom left box. Put 2x on the top right box and -20x on the bottom left box. Now, factor out for each row and column. The factors should be 5x + 2 for the top part and x - 4 for the side. It should look like (5x + 2)(x - 4). Let's check it. Solve it by using the FOIL method and you get 5x² - 20x + 2x - 8. Combine like terms and you get 5x² - 18x - 8. There. The answer is B: (5x + 2)(x - 4)
Note: The box method may be challenging at first, but it can be really helpful on problems like these.
