Answer:

The mean, μ is 2.5063 and

The standard deviation, σ = 2.0499 × 10⁻²

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have

z = \frac{x- \mu}{\sigma}

z \sigma ={x- \mu}{} and

10% have length < 2.48 in while

5% have length > 2.54 in

and

From the z score table

Critical z at 10% to the left = -1.282

Critical z at 5% to the right = 1.645

Therefore, the equations become

-1.282σ = 2.48 - μ → μ -1.282σ = 2.48

1.645σ = 2.54 - μ → μ + 1.645σ = 2.54

Solving the above equations gives

The mean, μ = 2.5063 and

The standard deviation, σ = 2.0499 × 10⁻².

I would actually use division. So divide 56 by 8, and you'll get 7.

Or you can multiply 7 times 8 and get 56.

Hope this helps!

Whats the answer for (5x + 8)(4x² + 6x - 8)
mestny [16]
(5x + 8)(4x^2 + 6x - 8)\\ \\ 5x(4x^2 + 6x - 8) + 8(4x^2 + 6x - 8) \\ \\ 20x^3 + 30x^2 - 40x + 8(4x^2 + 6x - 8) \\ \\ 20x^3 + 30x^2 - 40x + 32x^2 + 48x - 64 \\ \\ 20x^3 + (30x^2 + 32x^2) + (-40x + 48x) - 64 \\ \\ 20x^3 + 62x^2 + 8x - 64 \\ \\

The final result is: 20x^3 + 62x^2 + 8x - 64.
