Answer:

The mean of C is 170 households

The standard deviation of C, is approximately 5 households

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The percentage of households in the United States that had a computer in 2014 = 85%

The size of the randomly selected sample in 2014, n = 200

The random variable representing the number of households that had a computer = C

Therefore, we have;

The probability of a household having a computer P = 85/100 = 0.85

Let

Therefore;

The mean (expected) number in the sample, μₓ, = E(x) = n × P is given as follows;

μₓ = 200 × 0.85 = 170

The mean of C = μₓ = 170

The variance, σ² = n × P × (1 - P) = 200 × 0.85 × (1 - 0.85) = 25.5

Therefore;

The standard deviation, σ = √(σ²) = √(25.5) ≈ 5.05

The standard deviation of C, σ ≈ 5 households (we round (down) to the nearest whole number)

your employer has 600 business cards printed for you, and you give away 280 of them. To the nearest hundredth, what percent of t
arlik [135]
The number of cards left is 600-280=320.

So the 320 cards left are what percent? we count it like this:
\frac{320}{600}*100%= \frac{32}{60}*100%=\frac{32}{60}*100%=53.3..%

so the answer is 53.3%

Which equation can be solved using the expression StartFraction negative 3 plus-or-minus StartRoot (3) squared + 4 (10) (2) EndR
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer: B.  2 = 3x + 10x2

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the concept of quadratic equations; We required to find the type of equation that can be solved using the model that has been used to solve the equation such that the answer is:

[-3+-sqrt(3^2+4(10)(2))]/(2(10))

The formual that was applied here was a quadratic formula given by:

x=[-b+\-sqrt(b^2-4ac)]/2a

whereby from the our substituted values above,

a=10,b=3 and c=-2

such that the quadratic equation will be:

10x^2+3x-2
