Supposing a normal distribution, we find that:
The diameter of the smallest tree that is an outlier is of 16.36 inches.
--------------------------------
We suppose that tree diameters are normally distributed with <u>mean 8.8 inches and standard deviation 2.8 inches.</u>
<u />
In a normal distribution with mean
and standard deviation
, the z-score 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, which is the percentile of X.<u>
</u>
<u />
In this problem:
- Mean of 8.8 inches, thus
. - Standard deviation of 2.8 inches, thus
.
<u />
The interquartile range(IQR) is the difference between the 75th and the 25th percentile.
<u />
25th percentile:
- X when Z has a p-value of 0.25, so X when Z = -0.675.




75th percentile:
- X when Z has a p-value of 0.75, so X when Z = 0.675.




The IQR is:

What is the diameter, in inches, of the smallest tree that is an outlier?
- The diameter is <u>1.5IQR above the 75th percentile</u>, thus:

The diameter of the smallest tree that is an outlier is of 16.36 inches.

Answer:
Dimensions: 
Perimiter: 
Minimum perimeter: [16,16]
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a problem of optimization with constraints.
We can define the rectangle with two sides of size "a" and two sides of size "b".
The area of the rectangle can be defined then as:

This is the constraint.
To simplify and as we have only one constraint and two variables, we can express a in function of b as:

The function we want to optimize is the diameter.
We can express the diameter as:

To optimize we can derive the function and equal to zero.

The minimum perimiter happens when both sides are of size 16 (a square).
Answer:
30x^4−12x^3=6x^3(5x−2) = True
4x^2+10x=2x(2x+5) = True
100x^3+5=5x^3(20x+1) = False
8x^3−6x=2x^3(4−3x3) = False
Step-by-step explanation:
The factor outside the parentheses is -1. Distribute using that factor.
2 - (4 - <em>x</em>) = 7<em>x</em> - 5<em>x</em>
<em />
-1 * 4 = -4 and -1 * -<em>x</em> = <em>x</em>
<em />
2 - 4 + <em>x</em> = 7<em>x</em> - 5<em>x</em>
Simplify.
-2 + <em>x</em> = 2<em>x</em>
<em>x</em> = 2<em>x</em> + 2
-<em>x</em> = 2
<em>x</em> = -2
<h3>
Answer:</h3>
<em>x</em> = -2
