Well, as it says, your first statement needs to explain what interests you about the program.

If you feel you need multiple paragraphs, let the first be an introduction, around 4 or 5 sentences. Include, possibly what pushed you to apply for this program, what you're looking forward to, and a reason for them to hire you. You can add a thesis statement of sorts if that helps (a short statement, usually one sentence, that summarizes the main point or claim of a paper). The first paragraph can be short, it doesn't need to be too in-depth. You can talk more about that later in your statement.

The body paragraphs must include your goals and extracurricular interests (what courses would you like to take and why?).

As it states, you must list your GPA, what interests you about the Major and/or Minor/Workshop courses, and what you can contribute (you can build off of what you said in your first paragraph here).

It is very important to share additional details you think are important, such as accomplishments you are proud of, for example.

A conclusion would be nice, a short and sweet wrap-up of your overall statement (not too long).

Remember, the name of the game is to sound confident and prove to them that you are in fact a good fit for the program! Good luck! Stay focused ^^

Y = 3x - 1 ---- (1)
x - y = -9 ---- (2)

From Equation 2:
x - y = - 9
x + 9 = y
y = x + 9 --- (2a)

(1) - (2a):
0 = 3x - x - 1 - 9
0 = 2x - 10
2x - 10 = 0
2x = 10
x = 5 ---- sub into (1)

y = 3(5) - 1
y = 15 - 1
y = 14

What must be a factor of the polynomial function f(x) graphed on the coordinate plane below?

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find out the factors of a polynomial, determine the x-intercepts or zeros of the polynomial

Remember that

The x-intercepts of a polynomial are the values of x when the value of the polynomial is equal to zero

In this problem

Looking at the graph

For x=-2, f(x)=0

x=-2 is an x-intercept or zero of the polynomial

To find out the factor move the constant to the left side and equate to zero

$x=-2$

adds 2 both sides

$x+2=-2+2\\x+2=0$

therefore

The factor is (x+2)

Because not all airline passengers show up for their reserved seat, an airline sells 125 tickets for a flight that holds only 12

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

98.75% probability that every passenger who shows up can take the flight

Step-by-step explanation:

For each passenger who show up, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they can take the flight, or they do not. The probability of a passenger taking the flight is independent from other passenger. So the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

However, we are working with a large sample. So i am going to aproximate this binomial distribution to the normal.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples 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.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that $\mu = E(X)$ , $\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ .
