Due to a negative value of P(X = x), it is found that the following is not a probability distribution.

---------------------

A sequence (x, P(X = x)) is a probability distribution if:

The sum of all values of P(X = x) equals 1.
There is no negative values of P(X = x).

In this problem, P(X = 2) is negative, thus, it is not a probability distribution.

If a 12-student class averaged 90 on a test, and a 20-student class averaged 80 on the test, then all 32 students averaged

Alexxx [7]

Let the marks of the students in class 1 be

$m_1, m_2, ....., m_1_2$

the average of these 12 marks is 90, so

$\frac{m_1+ m_2+ .....+ m_1_2}{12}=90$

which means

$m_1+ m_2+ .....+ m_1_2=90*12=1080$

similarly, let $n_1, n_2, ....., n_2_0$ be the marks of the students in the second class,

so $\frac{n_1+ n_2+ ..... n_2_0}{20}=80$

which means $n_1+ n_2+ ..... n_2_0=80*20=1600$

The 32 students averaged:

$\frac{(m_1+ m_2+ .....+ m_1_2)+(n_1+ n_2+ ..... n_2_0)}{12+20}= \frac{1080+1600}{32}= \frac{2680}{32}= 83.75$

Let a= x2 +4 rewrite the following equation in terms of a and set it equal to zero. (X2 + 4)2 + 32 = 12x2 + 48 in the resulting

Alex73 [517]

$Answer: \\ {( {x}^{2} + 4) }^{2} + 32 = 12 {x}^{2} + 48 \\ \Leftrightarrow {a}^{2} + 32 = 12( {x}^{2} + 4) \\ \Leftrightarrow {a}^{2} + 32 = 12a \\ \Leftrightarrow {a}^{2} - 12a + 32 = 0 \\ \Rightarrow Coefficients:1, \: -12. \: Constant:a$
