Answer:
lower than Amanda: 816 students
Step-by-step explanation:
An equivalent way in which to state this problem is: Find the area under the standard normal curve to the left (below) 940.
Most modern calculators have built in distribution functions.
In this case I entered the single command normalcdf(-1000,940, 850, 100)
and obtained 0.816.
In this particular situation, this means that 0.816(1000 students) scored lower than Amanda: 816 students.
Answer:
?
Step-by-step explanation:
Add 3 to both sides so that the equation becomes 2x^2 + 7x - 6 = 0.
To find the solutions to this equation, we can apply the quadratic formula. This quadratic formula solves equations of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0
x = [ -b ± √(b^2 - 4ac) ] / (2a)
x = [ -7 ± √(7^2 - 4(2)(-6)) ] / ( 2(2) )
x = [ -7 ± √(49 - (-48) ) ] / ( 4 )
x = [ -7 ± √(97) ] / ( 4)
x = [ -7 ± sqrt(97) ] / ( 4 )
x = -7/4 ± sqrt(97)/4
The answers are -7/4 + sqrt(97)/4 and -7/4 - sqrt(97)/4.
