By some properties of logarithms, rewrite the equation as
so that
(<em>a</em> - 2<em>b</em>)² = <em>ab</em>
Expand the left side:
<em>a</em> ² - 4<em>ab</em> + 4<em>b</em> ² = <em>ab</em>
Rearrange terms to get a quadratic equation in <em>a</em>/<em>b</em> :
<em>a</em> ² - 5<em>ab</em> + 4<em>b</em> ² = 0
<em>b</em> must be greater than 0, otherwise log(<em>b</em>) doesn't exist, and the same goes for <em>a</em>. So we can divide by <em>b</em> ² to get
<em>a</em> ²/<em>b</em> ² - 5<em>a</em>/<em>b</em> + 4 = 0
Factorize and solve for <em>a</em>/<em>b</em> :
(<em>a</em>/<em>b</em> - 4) (<em>a</em>/<em>b</em> - 1) = 0
==> <em>a</em>/<em>b</em> = 4 or <em>a</em>/<em>b</em> = 1
However, if <em>a</em>/<em>b</em> = 1, then <em>a</em> = <em>b</em> makes <em>a</em> - 2<em>b</em> = -<em>b</em>. But we must have <em>b</em> > 0, so we omit the second solution and end up with
<em>a</em>/<em>b</em> = 4
Answer:
a. 0.1587
b. 0.8849
c. 0.1814
Step-by-step explanation:
a. Given that
-The probability a randomly selected score is greater than 30.4 is calculated as:
Hence, the probability of a score greater than 30.4 is 0.1587
b. Given that
The probability a randomly selected score is less than 32.8 is calculated as:
Hence, the probability that a randomly selected score is less than 32.8 is 0.8849
c. The probability that a score is between 25.6 and 32.8 is calculated as follows:
Hence, the probability is 0.1814
