Which equation is y = –6x^2 + 3x + 2 rewritten in vertex form? plz help will give

1 answer:

6 0

Y = –6.x²<span> + 3.x + 2.

Its vertex form is (y-k) = a(x-h)</span>², where the vertex is V(h , k).

Let's calculate k and h from the original function y = - 6.x² + 3.x + 2.

a) the maximum is when f(0) = k→ -6(0)² + 3(0) + 2 , hence k = 2

b) The axis of symmetry is equal to x = -b/2.a:
x= -(3)/2.(-6) → x = 1/4 (1/4 is = h); Now replace k & h in the Vertex form
y-k = a(x-h)²

y- 2 = -6(x-1/4)²

The mean of a population is 74 and the standard deviation is 15. The shape of the population is unknown. Determine the probabili

Lena [83]

Answer:

a) 0.0548 = 5.48% probability of a random sample of size 36 yielding a sample mean of 78 or more.

b) 0.9858 = 98.58% probability of a random sample of size 150 yielding a sample mean of between 71 and 77.

c) 0.5793 = 57.93% probability of a random sample of size 219 yielding a sample mean of less than 74.2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

The mean of a population is 74 and the standard deviation is 15.

This means that $\mu = 74, \sigma = 15$

Question a:

Sample of 36 means that $n = 36, s = \frac{15}{\sqrt{36}} = 2.5$

This probability is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 78. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

By the Central Limit Theorem

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{78 - 74}{2.5}$

$Z = 1.6$

$Z = 1.6$ has a pvalue of 0.9452

1 - 0.9452 = 0.0548

0.0548 = 5.48% probability of a random sample of size 36 yielding a sample mean of 78 or more.

Question b:

Sample of 150 means that $n = 150, s = \frac{15}{\sqrt{150}} = 1.2247$

This probability is the pvalue of Z when X = 77 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 71. So

X = 77

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{77 - 74}{1.2274}$

$Z = 2.45$

$Z = 2.45$ has a pvalue of 0.9929

X = 71

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{71 - 74}{1.2274}$

$Z = -2.45$

$Z = -2.45$ has a pvalue of 0.0071

0.9929 - 0.0071 = 0.9858

0.9858 = 98.58% probability of a random sample of size 150 yielding a sample mean of between 71 and 77.

c. A random sample of size 219 yielding a sample mean of less than 74.2

Sample size of 219 means that $n = 219, s = \frac{15}{\sqrt{219}} = 1.0136$

This probability is the pvalue of Z when X = 74.2. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{74.2 - 74}{1.0136}$

$Z = 0.2$

$Z = 0.2$ has a pvalue of 0.5793

0.5793 = 57.93% probability of a random sample of size 219 yielding a sample mean of less than 74.2

Indicate whether the following variables are qualitative (QL) or quantitative (QU): a. Favorite color ____ b. Current Occupation

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

a. Qualitative.

b. Qualitative.

c. Quantitative.

d. Quantitative.

e. Qualitative.

Step-by-step explanation:

Favorite color can be classified into different categories such as blue,orange, white etc, so, favorite color is a qualitative variable.

Current Occupation can be classified into different categories such as teacher, lawyer and doctor etc, so, current occupation is a qualitative variable.

Number of extra credit problems solved can be meaningfully presented as numerical figures so, number of extra credit problems solved is a quantitative variable.

Number of students in class can be meaningfully presented as numerical figures so, number of of students in our class is a quantitative variable.

Exam Grades can be classified into different categories such as A, B and C etc, so, exam grades is a qualitative variable.

Consider the function graphed below.

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

B. (see attached)

Step-by-step explanation:

All the answers agree that the function is x² for x < 1. Where they disagree is in the slope and y-intercept of the linear portion for x > 1.

The line has a slope that is less than 1 unit of rise for 1 unit of run, so will not be selections A or C, which have slopes of 3.

The y-intercept is clearly positive if we extend the line to the left until it reaches the y-axis. This eliminates selection D from consideration, leaving only selection B.

As more and more people get their news online, the subscriptions to the Dorchester Daily has declined over the past years.

atroni [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The function s(x)=0.9(.82)^x models the number of subscription in tens of thousands where x represents the number of years since the trend has been observed.

s(x) represents the number of subscriptions to the Dorchester Daily in a given year.

0.9 in ten thousands represents the initial number of subscriptions to the Dorchester Daily in a given year.

0.82 represents the rate at which the number of number of subscriptions to the Dorchester Daily is declining. The rate in percentage is 100 - 82 = 12% each year.

x represents the number of years since the trend has been observed.
