Answer:
my best guess is answer choice c.
The equation is <span>f(x) = 2x5 - 9x4 + 12x3 - 12x2 + 10x - 3 = 0
remark:
the sum of coefficients is = 2-9+12-12+10-3=-7+7=0, so a=1 is a zero of f
f can be written as </span>f(x) = (x-1)Q(x), and f(x) / (x-1)= Q(x)
after euclid's division
Q(x) = 2x4 - 7x3 + 5x2 - 7x +3
so for finding the other roots, making Q(x) for product of factors is a must
Answer:
option (D) 16.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Data provided:
Sleep time of , X = 15.9 is at the 10th percentile
Standard deviation, σ = 0.5 hour
also,
10th percentile of normal distribution is
Z = F⁻¹(0.10)
or
Z = - 1.28 (Using Standard Normal distribution)
Now,
or
X = μ + ( σ × Z )
or
μ = X - ( σ × Z )
on substituting the respective values, we get
μ = 15.9 - 0.5 × (-1.28)
or
μ = 16.5
Hence, the correct answer is option (D) 16.5
