Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

2x² - 5x + 7 is subtracted <em>from </em>x² + 2x - 11, so

(x² + 2x - 11) - (2x² - 5x + 7)

x² + 2x - 11 - 2x² + 5x -7 (Distribute the negative)

-x² + 7x - 18 (Combine like terms)

The leading coefficient is the coefficient of the first term, so it is -1.

LiRa [457]

Answer:

$P(X\geq 3.4)=0.0228$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the mean is 3.2, standard deviation is 0.8 and the sample size is 64.

-We calculate the probability of a mean of 3.4 as follows:

#First determine the z-value:

$z=\frac{\bar X -\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}}\\\\=\frac{3.4-3.2}{0.8/\sqrt{64}}\\\\=2.000$

#We then determine the corresponding probability on the z tables:

$Z(X\geq 3.4)=1-P(X$

Hence, the probability of obtaining a sample mean this large or larger is 0.0228

Rasek [7]

Michelle: x
Ian: 5x
Joe: 7x
Michelle + Ian + Joe = 208 berries
x + 5x + 7x = 208
Combine like terms: 13x = 208
Divide both sides by 13: x = 16
Joe = 7x = 7*16=112
Joe picked 112 berries
