Let f(x)=2x squared - 3x+8 what is the value of f(-4)

Answer:

f(x) = 52

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) does the same things as y, so when you get your answer, think of it as the value for y when x = - 4

The second thing you should know is that wherever you see an x on the right, you put in - 4

Let x = - 4

y = 2x^2 - 3x + 8

y = 2(-4)^2 - 3(-4) + 8

y = 2*16 - (-12) + 8

y = 32 + 12 + 8

y = 52

Be careful how you hand - 3x when -4 is put in for x. -3(-4) = 12 not - 12

f(-4) = 52

I need help on this question

My name is Ann [436]

If the weight of wrestlers on the team varies by 74 pounds, the best way to measure this would be the range.

The range indicates how much difference there is between the maximum and the minimum values, thus making it perfectly suited for finding the variance between the weights of wrestlers.

The most popular M&M color being green could be best verified by the mode.

The mode of a set is the most commonly occurring number in that set, so this would be the best way to find the most commonly occurring type of candy.

If the mean price for a download is $1.96, this could be verified by finding the mean.

The mean is the average of a data set, so this could verify that this price was the best indication of the average of the mp3 downloads.

Finally, if half the students in PE are 15 or older, this could be determined by the median.

The median is the middlemost value in a data set, so it would help you in this instance because it would allow you to see where the halfway point was in the ages of PE participants.

Hope this helps!

Mr. Chen spends $32 for tickets to a play. If the tickets cost $8 each how many tickets does Mr. Chen buy?

Olegator [25]

Hey!

You must divide the amount of money he spent by the amount of money each ticket costs:

32 ÷ 8 = 4

So, Mr. Chen bought 4 tickets.

Suppose a sample of 100 families of four vacationing at Niagara Falls resulted in sample mean of $282.45 spent per day and a sam

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Given Information:

Mean = μ = $282.45

Standard deviation = σ = $64.50

Sample size = n = 100

Confidence level = 95%

Required Information:

95% Confidence interval = ?

Answer:

95% Confidence interval = ($269.81, $295.09)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a Normal Distribution, which is a continuous probability distribution and is symmetrical around the mean. The shape of this distribution is like a bell curve and most of the data is clustered around the mean. The area under this bell shaped curve represents the probability.

What is Confidence Interval?

The confidence interval represents an interval that we can guarantee that the target variable will be within this interval for a given confidence level.

The confidence interval is given by

$CI = \bar{x} \pm MoE\\$

Where $\bar{x}$ is the mean and MoE is the margin of error given by

$MoE = z_{\alpha/2}(\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } ) \\$

Where σ is the standard deviation, n is the sample size and $z_{\alpha/2}$ is the z-score corresponding to 95% confidence level.

$z_{\alpha/2} = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05/2 = 0.025\\\\z_{0.025} = 1.96$

$MoE = 1.96\cdot \frac{64.50}{\sqrt{100} } \\\\MoE = 1.96\cdot 6.45\\\\MoE = 12.64\\$

Finally, the confidence interval is

$CI = \bar{x} \pm MoE\\\\CI = 282.45 \pm 12.64\\\\CI = 282.45 - 12.64 \: and \: 282.45 + 12.64\\\\CI = \$269.81 \: and \:\:\$295.09\\$

Therefore, we are 95% sure that the true population mean amount spent per day by a family of four visiting Niagara Falls is within the interval of ($269.81, $295.09)
