Option A

$2x^2(6x-1) + 3(6x-1)$ is one way to determine the factors of $12x^3-2x^2+18x-3$ by grouping

Solution:

Factoring by grouping means that you will group terms with common factors before factoring

Given expression is:

$12x^3-2x^2+18x-3$

Group the first two terms together and then the last two terms together.

$(12x^3-2x^2)+(18x-3)$

We can see that $2x^2$ is common in first two terms

And 3 is common in last two terms

Factor them out

$(12x^3-2x^2)+(18x-3) = 2x^2(6x-1) + 3(6x-1)$

$2x^2(6x-1) + 3(6x-1)$

Thus option A is correct

Yes, they are proportional because if you increase or decrease either amount they will both change. They will always have the same size. For example if I want to double the flour, I will have to double the milk as well because they have the same ratio.

the time taken by a student to the university has been shown to be normally distributed with mean of 16 minutes and standard dev

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

a) 2.84% probability that he is late for his first lecture.

b) 5.112 days

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

$\mu = 16, \sigma = 2.1$

a. Find the probability that he is late for his first lecture.

This is the probability that he takes more than 20 minutes to walk, which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 20. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{20 - 16}{2.1}$

$Z = 1.905$

$Z = 1.905$ has a pvalue of 0.9716

1 - 0.9716 = 0.0284

2.84% probability that he is late for his first lecture.

b. Find the number of days per year he is likely to be late for his first lecture.

Each day, 2.84% probability that he is late for his first lecture.

Out of 180

0.0284*180 = 5.112 days

Suppose that 4% of the 2 million high school students who take the SAT each year receive special accommodations because of docum

dangina [55]

Answer:

a. 0.0122

b. 0.294

c. 0.2818

d. 30.671%

e. 2.01 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let X represents the number of students that receive special accommodation

P(X) = 4%

P(X) = 0.04

Let S = Sample Size = 30

Let Y be a selected numbers of Sample Size

Y ≈ Bin (30,0.04)

a. The probability that 1 candidate received special accommodation

P(Y = 1) = (30,1)

= (0.04)¹ * (1 - 0.04)^(30 - 1)

= 0.04 * 0.96^29

= 0.012244068467946074580191760542164986632531806368667873050624

P(Y=1) = 0.0122 --- Approximated

b. The probability that at least 1 received a special accommodation is given by:

This means P(Y≥1)

But P(Y=0) + P(Y≥1) = 1

P(Y≥1) = 1 - P(Y=0)

Calculating P(Y=0)

P(Y=0) = (0.04)° * (1 - 0.04)^(30 - 0)

= 1 * 0.96^36

= 0.293857643230705789924602253011959679180763352848028953214976

= 0.294 --- Approximated

The probability that at least 2 received a special accommodation is given by:

P (Y≥2) = 1 -P(Y=0) - P(Y=1)

= 0.294 - 0.0122

= 0.2818

d. The probability that the number among the 15 who received a special accommodation is within 2 standard deviations of the number you would expect to be accommodated?

First, we calculate the standard deviation

SD = √npq

n = 15

p = 0.04

q = 1 - 0.04 = 0.96

SD = √(15 * 0.04 * 0.96)

SD = 0.758946638440411

SD = 0.759

Mean =np = 15 * 0.04 = 0.6

The interval that is two standard deviations away from .6 is [0, 2.55] which means that we want the probability that either 0, 1 , or 2 students among the 20 students received a special accommodation.

P(Y≤2)

P(0) + P(1) + P(2)

P(0) + P(1) = 0.0122 + 0.294

Calculating P(2)

P(2) = (0.04)² * (1 - 0.04)^(30 - 2(

P(2) = 0.00051

So,

P(0) +P(1) + P(2). = 0.0122 + 0.294 + 0.00051

= 0.30671

Thus it 30.671% probable that 0, 1, or 2 students received accommodation.

The expected value from d) is .6

The average time is [.6(4.5) + 19.2(3)]/30 = 2.01 hours

Find the value of w and YZ if Y is between X and Z. XY = 4w YZ = 6W XZ = 12w - 8

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

w = 4

YZ = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, Y is a point lying between the points X and Z.

Therefore, relationship between the lengths of the segments will be,

length of segment XZ = length of XY + length of YZ

It's given in the question,

XZ = 12w - 8

YZ = 6w

XY = 4w

By substituting these values in the relation,

12w - 8 = 4w + 6w

12w - 8 = 10w

12w = 10w + 8

12w - 10w = 8

2w = 8

w = 4

Since, YZ = 6w

Therefore, YZ = 24
