Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

-4 ( x - 3) = -8

-4x +12 = -8

-4x = -20

Answer:
-20

Explanation:
Distribute first
-4x + 12 = -8
Subtract 12 on both sides
-4x +12 = -8
-12 -12
-4x = -20
Divide by -4 on both sides
-4x = -20
/-4 /-4
x = 5

Factor 5a^2-30a+45, and 2x^5+x^4-2x-1.

Mrrafil [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

${5a}^{2} - 30a + 45$

$5( {a}^{2} - 6a + 9)$

5(a-3)(a-3)

5(a-3)^2

${2x}^{5} + {x}^{4} - 2x - 1$

X^4(2x+1) - (2x+1)

(x^4-1)(2x+1)

(x^2-1)(x^2+1)(2x+1)

(x-1)(x-1)(x^2+1)(2x+1)

The weight for crates of apples is normally distributed with a mean weight of 34.6 pounds and a standard deviation of 2.8 pounds

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

42.22% probability that the weight is between 31 and 35 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 34.6, \sigma = 2.8$
