Answer:

Given:

A weight-loss clinic advertised that last month its patients, on average, lost 8 lbs

Average refers to mean

a. Last month all of their patients lost at least 8 lbs.

Answer: Mean or average is a measure of central tendency or in other terms refers to the central value of the dataset. If the value of mean/average is 8lb, it signifies that there are some patients who have lost weights more than 8 lbs. So, this statement is False

b. Last month at least one of their patients lost exactly 8 lbs.

Answer: It is a possibility that all the patients have lost their weights greater than or less than 8 lbs. Since the mean is computed by summing up all the values (weight loss in this case) by the total number of observations, it is possible that there can be no patient who has lost exactly 8lbs. So, this statement is False.

c. Two months ago some of their patients lost at least 8 lbs.

Answer: It is clearly mentioned that last month its patients, on average, lost 8 lbs. No information is given about the weight loss of patients before the last month. So, there is not sufficient data to check whether this statement is correct or not.

d. Last month at least one of their patients lost less than 3 lbs.

Answer: It is a possibility that all the patients have lost their weights greater than 3 lbs. Since the mean is computed by summing up all the values (weight loss in this case) by the total number of observations, it is possible that there can be no patient who has lost less than 3lbs. So, this statement is False.

e. Last month, the number of their clients who lost less than 8 lbs was equal to the number of their clients who lost more than 8 lbs.

Answer: Mean is a measure of central tendency which is computed by the diving sum of all observations with the number of all observations (the sum of observations lesser than the mean is compensated by the sum of observations greater than the mean) and for the mean equal to 8lbs, there should be an equal number of people who lost less than 8 lbs and the number of people who lost more than 8 lbs. Hence, this statement is True.

Answer e.Last month, the number of their clients who lost less than 8 lbs was equal to the number of their clients who lost more than 8 lbs is True

Let f(x) = 8x^3 − 22x^2 − 4 and g(x) = 4x − 3. Find f(x) over g(x).

You would use the long division technique..

Here it looks like:
<span>
            --------------------
4x − 3 |</span> <span>8x^3 − 22x^2 − 4
---------
           |</span>
           |
<span>           |

and like that,,,

after you do this, you will get

2x^2-4x-3-\frac{13}{4x-3}


hope that helps
