Answer:

(x-8)(x-6)

Step-by-step explanation:

To factor this, you need the numbers that will multiply together to give you the third number (48 in this case) and add together to give you the second number (-14). -8 * -6 = 48. -8 + -6 = -14

412 students were surveyed about their preferences of sports. 115 students like football, 100 students like baseball, and 45 stu

Damm [24]

Answer: 242 students do not like football or baseball

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of students that were surveyed about their preferences of sports is 412. The Venn diagram is shown in the attached photo.

If 45 students like both sports, then the number of students that like football only would be

115 - 45 = 70

Also, the number of students that like baseball only would be

100 - 45 = 55

The number if students that like at least one of the sports is

70 + 55 + 45 = 170

Therefore, the number of students that do not like football or baseball would be

412 - 170 = 242

timurjin [86]

Answer:

Therefore there's a 99.99% probability the motherboard of your new computer will last for at least 15 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the general idea to solve the problem.

Suppose that the mean and variance of the your distribution are . $\mu , \sigma$ respectively. Then, according to the problem you are looking for the probability.

$P(X \geq 15) = 1 - P(X$

Consider then the following random variable.

$T = X_1 + X_2 + .... + X_{14}$

Using the central limit theorem $T$ distribution will be close to normal, and its mean and variance will be $14\mu , 14\sigma$ , respectively. Therefore you just have to find the probability that a normally distributed random variable with that mean and that variance which I just mentioned is less than 14.
