Answer:

a2-14=-5a is a=2, a=-7

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 5a to both sides a $x^{2}$ -14+5a= -5a+5a

Simplify a $x^{2}$ +5a-14=0

after we solve with the quadratic formula we get -7

Helen plays basketball. For free throws, she makes the shot 75% of the time. Helen must now attempt two free throws. The probabi

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer: 0.6375

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume that the event that she'll make the first shot is given as P(A) while making the second shot is P(B). Therefore, P(A/B) = 0.85

Therefore, the probability that she makes both free throws will be denoted as:

= 0.75 × 0.85

= 0.6375

frozen [14]

Simple, rewrite this equation, in y=mx+b form.

Move over the 5x, making it look like, -y=-5x+14

Then, just simply divide by the negative one in front of the y.

y=5x-14.

Answer:

$z=\frac{13-20}{4}=-1.75$

Assuming:

H0: $\mu \geq 20$

H1: $\mu$

$p_v = P(Z$

Step-by-step explanation:

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Let X the random variable of interest (number of correct answers in the test), on this case we now that:

$X \sim Binom(n=100, p=0.2)$

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

$P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}$

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

$nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}$

We need to check the conditions in order to use the normal approximation.

$np=100*0.2=20 \geq 10$

$n(1-p)=20*(1-0.2)=16 \geq 10$

So we see that we satisfy the conditions and then we can apply the approximation.

If we appply the approximation the new mean and standard deviation are:

$E(X)=np=100*0.2=20$

$\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{100*0.2(1-0.2)}=4$

So we can approximate the random variable X like this:

$X\sim N(\mu =20, \sigma=4)$

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean". The letter $\phi(b)$ is used to denote the cumulative area for a b quantile on the normal standard distribution, or in other words: $\phi(b)=P(z$
