Which statement about the following equation is true?<br>2x2-9x+2-1

Furkat [3]

Complete Question:

Which statement about the following equation is true?

$2x^2-9x+2 = -1$

A) The discriminant is less than 0, so there are two real roots

B) The discriminant is less than 0, so there are two complex roots

C) The discriminant is greater than 0, so there are two real roots

D) The discriminant is greater than 0, so there are two complex roots

Answer:

C) The discriminant is greater than 0, so there are two real roots

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is $2x^2-9x+2 = -1$ which by simplification becomes

$2x^2 - 9x + 3 = 0$

For a quadratic equation of the form $ax^2 + bx + c = 0$ , the discriminant is given by the equation, $D = b^2 - 4ac$

If the discriminant D is greater than 0, the roots are real and different

If the discriminant D is equal to 0, the roots are real and equal

If the discriminant D is less than 0, the roots are imaginary

For the quadratic equation under consideration, a = 2, b = -9, c = 3

Let us calculate the discriminant D

D = (-9)² - 4(2)(3)

D = 81 - 24

D = 57

Since the Discriminant D is greater than 0, the roots are real and different.

A mutual funds company’s newsletter says, "A well-diversified portfolio includes assets with low correlations." The newsletter i

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

The less the correlation between two variables means the more different their output is.

A.) If Rachel wants to diversify her investment by investing on bonds that do not closely follow the returns on the bond. then she should invest in the stocks with low correlation with bonds. I.e: small cap stocks.

B.) Similarly, due to low correlation, small cap bonds will increase ( comparatively to large cap bonds) as the return on her bonds wil drop and vice versa.

A center for medical services reported that there were 295,000 appeals for hospitalization and other services. For this group, 4

pshichka [43]

Answer:

a) 0.0025 = 0.25% probability that none of the appeals will be successful.

b) 0.0207 = 2.07% probability that exactly one of the appeals will be successful.

c) 0.9768 = 97.68% probability that at least two of the appeals will be successful

Step-by-step explanation:

For each appeal, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is succesful, or it is not. The probability of an appeal being succesful is independent of other appeals, so we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

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

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

And p is the probability of X happening.

45% of first-round appeals were successful.

This means that $p = 0.45$

Suppose 10 first-round appeals have just been received by a Medicare appeals office.

This means that $n = 10$

(a) Compute the probability that none of the appeals will be successful.

This is P(X = 0).

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.45)^{0}.(0.55)^{10} = 0.0025$

0.0025 = 0.25% probability that none of the appeals will be successful.

(b) Compute the probability that exactly one of the appeals will be successful.

This is P(X = 1).

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 1) = C_{10,1}.(0.45)^{1}.(0.55)^{9} = 0.0207$

0.0207 = 2.07% probability that exactly one of the appeals will be successful.

(c) What is the probability that at least two of the appeals will be successful

This is $P(X \geq 2)$

Either less than two appeals are succesful, or at least two are. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

$P(X < 2) + P(X \geq 2) = 1$

$P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.0025 + 0.0207 = 0.0232$

$P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2) = 1 - 0.0232 = 0.9768$

0.9768 = 97.68% probability that at least two of the appeals will be successful
