The root sof this quadratic equation are -4 and 2.5.
The roots of any quadratic can be found by using the quadratic equation. The equation is below for you.
In this equation you use the number attached to x^2 as the a, which in this case is -2. The number attached to x as b, which is in this case -3. And the number at the end as c, which is 20. From there you solve for the answers.
Now you separate and get the two separate answers. First the positive.
4
Now the negative
-2.5
Answer:
The last two terms of the expression are
Both the last terms has variable of degree equal to (2+4=6) and (3+3=6).So, the first term must have degree greater than 6.
Correct Options are
Percent of red lights last between 2.5 and 3.5 minutes is 95.44% .
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Step 1: Sketch the curve.
The probability that 2.5<X<3.5 is equal to the blue area under the curve.
Step 2:
Since μ=3 and σ=0.25 we have:
P ( 2.5 < X < 3.5 ) =P ( 2.5−3 < X−μ < 3.5−3 )
⇒ P ( (2.5−3)/0.25 < (X−μ)/σ < (3.5−3)/0.25)
Since, Z = (x−μ)/σ , (2.5−3)/0.25 = −2 and (3.5−3)/0.25 = 2 we have:
P ( 2.5<X<3.5 )=P ( −2<Z<2 )
Step 3: Use the standard normal table to conclude that:
P ( −2<Z<2 )=0.9544
Percent of red lights last between 2.5 and 3.5 minutes is % .
