Answer:
The minimum value of f(x) is 2
Step-by-step explanation:
- To find the minimum value of the function f(x), you should find the value of x which has the minimum value of y, so we will use the differentiation to find it
- Differentiate f(x) with respect to x and equate it by 0 to find x, then substitute the value of x in f(x) to find the minimum value of f(x)
∵ f(x) = 2x² - 4x + 4
→ Find f'(x)
∵ f'(x) = 2(2) - 4(1)
+ 0
∴ f'(x) = 4x - 4
→ Equate f'(x) by 0
∵ f'(x) = 0
∴ 4x - 4 = 0
→ Add 4 to both sides
∵ 4x - 4 + 4 = 0 + 4
∴ 4x = 4
→ Divide both sides by 4
∴ x = 1
→ The minimum value is f(1)
∵ f(1) = 2(1)² - 4(1) + 4
∴ f(1) = 2 - 4 + 4
∴ f(1) = 2
∴ The minimum value of f(x) is 2
Answer:
a) 51.60% probability that in a given year there will be less than 21 earthquakes.
b) 49.35% probability that in a given year there will be between 18 and 23 earthquakes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
In this problem, we have that:
a) Find the probability that in a given year there will be less than 21 earthquakes.
This is the pvalue of Z when X = 21. So
has a pvalue of 0.5160.
So there is a 51.60% probability that in a given year there will be less than 21 earthquakes.
b) Find the probability that in a given year there will be between 18 and 23 earthquakes.
This is the pvalue of Z when X = 23 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 18. So:
X = 23
has a pvalue of 0.7611
X = 18
has a pvalue of 0.2676
So there is a 0.7611 - 0.2676 = 0.4935 = 49.35% probability that in a given year there will be between 18 and 23 earthquakes.
