Answer:
The answer is D
Step-by-step explanation:
All you have to do is distribute.
x^2(5x-4)+4(5x-4) =
5x^3-4x^2+20x-16
Answer: b
Explanation:
The line of best fit to a scattergram is obtained in linear regression analysis by minimizing the sum of the squared errors.
For example, in the diagram shown below, there are n data points in the scattergram.
The error for the i-th data point is

.
The coefficients (a and b) for the line of best fit are determined using calculus, to minimize

.
Distribute to eliminate the parenthesis
x^2 + 2x + 6x + 12 = 60
Combine like terms
x^2 + 8x + 12 = 60
Subtract 60 from both sides
x^2 + 8x - 48 = 0
Factor the equation
(x+12)(x-4)=0
x+12=0
x+4=0
x= -12 and -4
Answer:
37
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
Sample size, n = 128
Mean, μ = 18
Standard deviation, σ = 5.4
Number of people who lost atleast 15 pounds :
The Zscore = (x - μ) / (σ)
Zscore = (15 - 18) / 5.4
Zscore = - 3 / 5.4
Zscore = - 0.5555
P(Z < - 0.555) = 0.28945
Number of people who lost atleast 15 pounds :
0.28945 * 128 = 37.0496
= 37 people
