Answer:
Trinomial can not be factored
Step-by-step explanation Equation at the end of step 2 : 4x 2 - 2x - 1 = 0 Step 3 : Parabola, Finding the Vertex : 3.1 Find the Vertex of y = 4x 2-2x-1 Parabolas have a highest or a lowest point called the Vertex . Our parabola opens up and accordingly has a lowest point (AKA absolute minimum)
Answer:
b) 95%
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that scores on an approximately bell shaped distribution with a mean of 76.4 and a standard deviation of 6.1 points. We are asked to find the percentage of the data that is between 64.2 points and 88.6 points.
First of all, we will find z-scores of each data point as:




Let us find z-score corresponding to normal score 88.6.



To find the percentage of the data is between 64.2 points and 88.6 points, we need to find area under a normal distribution curve that lie within two standard deviation of mean.
The empirical rule of normal distribution states that approximately 95% of data points fall within two standard deviation of mean, therefore, option 'b' is the correct choice.
To find the mean:
Take <span>3 4 5 3 4 5 6 5 4 3 2 3 4 5 6 4 8 4 3 2 and add them all together
=83
Now you divide 83 by the number of terms in the sample set, which is 20.
83/20 = 4.15
For rounding to the nearest tenth, look at the hundredths space, which is 5. Since it is 5 or higher, round the tenths up one.
final answer= 4.2 </span><span />
The probability that you will NOT choose a blue marble is 28/45.
45 because there are 45 marbles in total 12+11+17+5=45
And then 28 because you add all the marbles that are NOT blue 12+11+5=28
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
The nth term of a geometric progression is
= a₁
where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio
Given a₅ = 162 and a₈ = 4374 , then
a₁
= 162 → (1)
a₁
= 4374 → (2)
Divide (2) by (1)
= 
r³ = 27
r =
= 3
Substitute r = 3 into (1) and solve for a₁
a₁
= 162
81a₁ = 162
a₁ =
= 2
Then
a₂ = a₁ × 3 = 2 × 3 = 6
a₃ = a₂ × 3 = 6 × 3 = 18
The first 3 terms are 2, 6, 18
(ii)
The sum to n terms of a geometric progression is
=
, then
= 
= 
= 59049 - 1
= 59048
