Use the zero property product to find the solutions to the equation x^2-9= 16

1 answer:

4 0

Subtract 16 to get
x^2 -25 = 0
Factor this as
(x -5)(x +5) = 0

The zero product property tells you the product will be zero when one of the factors is zero.

For x-5 = 0
x = 5

For x+5 = 0
x = -5

The appropriate choice is
3) x=-5 or x=5

Answer:

0.0076 = 0.76% probability that all five plants emerged from treated seeds

Step-by-step explanation:

The plants were chosen without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x successes is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}$

In which:

x is the number of successes.

N is the size of the population.

n is the size of the sample.

k is the total number of desired outcomes.

Combinations formula:

$C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

In this question:

6 + 6 = 12 seeds, which means that $N = 12$

6 treated, which means that $k = 6$

Five sprouted, which means that $n = 5$

What is the probability that all five plants emerged from treated seeds?

This is P(X = 5). So

$P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}$

$P(X = 5) = h(5,12,5,6) = \frac{C_{6,5}*C_{6,0}}{C_{12,5}} = 0.0076$

0.0076 = 0.76% probability that all five plants emerged from treated seeds
