x = 2
<em>right</em><em> </em><em>option</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em>(E).
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = x³ - 3x² + 12 in interval [-2, 4]
{taking f'(x) by doing derivative of f(x)}
f'(x) = 3x² - 6x
.•. f'(x) = 0
0 = 3x² - 6x
0 = 3x(x - 2)
0 = x - 2
x = 2
Answer:
For the 99th percentile, we have X = 206 seconds.
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:
99th percentile:
Value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.99. So we use
For the 99th percentile, we have X = 206 seconds.
