We have 4(x^2 - 2x + 4) - 7 = 4x^2 - 8x + 16 - 7 = 4x^2 - 8x + 9;
So, 4x^2 - 8x + 9 = <span>ax^2+bx+c
;
The value of b is -8.</span>
Answer: 0.6812
Step-by-step explanation:
Let p be the population proportion of trees are infested by a bark beetle.
As per given: p= 12%= 0.12
Sample size : n= 1000
Number of trees affected in sample = 1000
Sample proportion of trees are infested by a bark beetle. = 
Now, the z-test statistic : 
So, 

Hence, the value of the z-test statistic = 0.6812 .
Answer:
Both (B) and (C) are correct
Step-by-step explanation:
Explaining in simple terms, The Simpson's paradox simply describes a phenomenon which occurs when observable trends in a relationship, which are obvious during singular evaluation of the variables disappears when each of this relationships are combined. This is what played out when hitmire appears to d well on both of natyraknamd artificial turf when separately compared, but isn't the same when the turf data was combined. Also, performance may actually not be related to the turf as turf may Just be. a lurking variable causing a spurious association in performance.
Question:
(a) How many bacteria would be found in 24 hours
(b) How many bacteria would be found in 2 days
(c) How long for 1000 bacteria to be found
Answer:
(a) 282429536481 bacteria
(b)
bacteria
(c) 6 days
Step-by-step explanation:
The question illustrates an exponential function

Where

--- i.e. triples

Solving (a): Bacteria in 24 hours
In this case:

Substitute
,
and 
So:



bacteria
Solving (b): Bacteria in 2 days

So:

Substitute
,
and 
So:


bacteria
Solving (c): How long for 1000 bacteria
In this case:

Substitute
,
and 
So:



Take Log of both sides

This gives:

Make x the subject


<em>Hence: It takes 6 days</em>
