Answer:

0.7486 = 74.86% probability of family expenses for the weekend being more than $580.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

The American Automobile Association reported that families planning to travel over the Labor Day weekend would spend an average of $735.

This means that \mu = 735

Assume that the amount spent is normally distributed with a standard deviation of $230.

This means that \sigma = 230

What is the probability of family expenses for the weekend being: a. more than $580

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 580. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{580 - 735}{230}

Z = -0.67

Z = -0.67 has a pvalue of 0.2514

1 - 0.2514 = 0.7486

0.7486 = 74.86% probability of family expenses for the weekend being more than $580.

T(x) = ax^5 + 2 where is a real number. If the points (-2, 66) and (2, -62) are on the graph of the function classify as one of
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

a < -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, so we are given this equation:

t(x) = ax^5 + 2

Lets plug in -2 as x and see what happens.. t(x) can be 66..

a * (-2)^{5}  + 2 = 66

-32a + 2 = 66

-32a = 64

a = -2

A is less than -1,

a < -1

(x/16)-(x+2)/8))=2<br><br><br><br> PLS HELP ME BRAINLIEST TO THE FIRST CORRECT ANSWER
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Simplify both sides of the equation

x/16−(x+2/8) = 2x/16 + −1/8x + −1/4 = 2

Distribute

1/16x + −1/8x + −1/4 = 2

(1/16x + −1/8x)+(−1/4) = 2

Combine Like Terms

−1/16x + −1/4 = 2

Add 1/4 to both sides.

−1/16x + −1/4 + 1/4 = 2 + 1/4

−1/16x = 9/4

Multiply both sides by 16/(-1).

(16/−1)*(−1/16x)=(16/−1)*(9/4)

x=−36

The first three steps of completing the square to solve the quadratic equation x^2 + 8x +5 = 0, are shown below.
evablogger [386]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

step 4 take the square root of both sides

\sqrt{(x+4)^2} = ± \sqrt{11}

x + 4 = ± \sqrt{11}

step 5 subtract 4 from both sides

x = - 4 ± \sqrt{11}

step 6 solve for x

x = - 4 - \sqrt{11} or x = - 4 + \sqrt{11}
