12x - 18 - 4x -2
12x - 4x = 8x (yours 12x - 4x = 8)
-18 - 2 = -20 (yours -18 -1 = 17)
answer:
8x - 20
Answer:
X=4
Step-by-step explanation:
To get -4 from 1, we must either subtract 5 from 1 or mult. 1 by -4. Unfortunately subtracting 5 from -4 does not result in 9, and mult -4 by -4 does not result in -16. So neither "works" in predicting the next term.
Can you think of any other experiments to do that would help you discover the pattern 1, -4, 9, -16?
Answer:
option (D) 16.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Data provided:
Sleep time of , X = 15.9 is at the 10th percentile
Standard deviation, σ = 0.5 hour
also,
10th percentile of normal distribution is
Z = F⁻¹(0.10)
or
Z = - 1.28 (Using Standard Normal distribution)
Now,

or
X = μ + ( σ × Z )
or
μ = X - ( σ × Z )
on substituting the respective values, we get
μ = 15.9 - 0.5 × (-1.28)
or
μ = 16.5
Hence, the correct answer is option (D) 16.5
