Answer:

The general form of a quadratic function is --> y = ax2 + bx + c

Since (0, -2) exists for the function, we can plug in those values:

-2 = a(0)2 + b(0) + c

-2 = 0 + 0 + c

-2 = c

So now our function so far is --> y = ax2 + bx - 2

We have two pairs of coordinates left: (-1, -8) and (3, -8).

First, plug in the first pair and simplify as much as you can:

-8 = a(-1)2 + b(-1) - 2

-8 = a - b - 2 ( add 2 to both sides )

-6 = a - b (stop here because we can't go further)

Second, plug in the second pair and simplify as much as you can:

-8 = a(3)2 + b(3) - 2

-8 = 9a + 3b - 2 ( add 2 to both sides )

-6 = 9a + 3b (stop here because we can't go further)

Now we have these two equations left:

a - b = -6

9a + 3b = -6

Now we solve for a and b using systems of equations, using one of three ways:

substitution

elimination

graphing (not my favorite, but it is doable)

Using substitution:

a - b = -6 can be rewritten as a = b - 6

plug into the second equation and solve for b

9(b - 6) + 3b = -6 (distribute the 9)

9b - 54 + 3b = -6 (combine all of the b's)

12b - 54 = -6 (add 54 to both sides)

12b = 48 (divide by 12 on both sides to isolate b)

b = 4

plug b into one of the original two equations

a - 4 = -6 (add 4 to both sides)

a = -2

The quadratic equation for this table is y = -2x2 + 4b - 2

2/5

Since 12 out of 30 marbles were black, you can assume that the percentage of black marbles in the bag is 40% (Ex: 12/30=.4) The probability that the marble you pick is black is equal to the percentage of black marbles in the bag. 40% is equal to 2/5.

Two coins, A and B, each have a side for heads and a side for tails. When coin A is tossed, the probability it will land tails-s
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

Is the number of tosses for each coin enough for the sampling distribution of the difference in sample proportions PA-PB to be approximately normal?

b. No, 20 tosses for coin A is enough, but 20 tosses for coin B is not enough.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

The probability of coin A landing tails-side up = 0.5

The proportion of times coin A lands tails-side up (PA) = 20 * 0.5 = 10

Therefore, the probability of coin A landing heads-side up = 0.5 (1 - 0.5)  

And the proportion of times that coin A lands heads-side up = 20 * 0.5 = 10.  

The proportion on either side is equally distributed.

This is why 20 tosses for coin A is enough, since the sample proportions PA is approximately normal, symmetric, and equally distributed.  There will be equal amounts of 10 tosses (0.5 *20) for either heads-side up or tails-side up.

For coin B, the probability of landing tails-side up = 0.8

The proportion of times coin B lands tails-side up (PB) = 20 * 0.8 = 16

Therefore, the probability of coin B landing heads-side up = 0.2 (1 - 0-.8)

The proportion on either side is not equally distributed, but skewed.

This is why 20 tosses for coin B is not enough, since the sample proportions PB is not approximately normal, symmetric, and equally distributed.  There will be 16 tosses landing tails-side up (0.8*20) and only 4 tosses landing heads-side up (0.2*20).
