Answer:
The non-negative zero of the function f(x) is x = 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
For a given function f(x), the "zeros" of the function are the values of x such that:
f(x) = 0
In this case, we have the function:
f(x) = 6*x^2 - 9*x - 6
If we want to find the zeros of this function, we need to solve:
f(x) = 0 = 6*x^2 - 9*x - 6
To solve this, we can use the Bhaskara's formula, which says that for a general quadratic equation:
0 = a*x^2 + b*x + c
The zeros are:
[tex]x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4*a*c} }{2*a}[/tex]
In this case our equation is:
0 = 6*x^2 - 9*x - 6
then, in the above notation, we have:
a = 6
b = -9
c = -6
Replacing these in our general formula, we get:
[tex]x = \frac{-(-9) \pm \sqrt{(-9)^2 - 4*6*(-6)} }{2*6} = \frac{9 \pm 15 }{12}[/tex]
Then we have two zeros:
x = (9 + 15)/12 = 24/12 = 2
x = (9 - 15)/12 = -6/12 = -1/2
But we want only the non-negative, so we can discard the second one.
Concluding, the non-negative zero of the function f(x) is x = 2.
An employer has a staff of eighty actuaries, ten of whom are student actuaries. A student actuary is allowed a total of ten weeks off per year (52 weeks in a year) for studying, vacation, and sick days. A non-student actuary is given four weeks off a year. It is assumed that all actuaries use all of the weeks off allocated to them. The actuary Mr. Taylor is at work today. What is the probability that he is a student?
Answer:
0.1111
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given information;
Number of staffs in the actuary = 80
Out of the 80, 10 are students.
i.e.
P(student actuary) = 10/80 = 0.125
number of weeks in a year = 52
off time per year = 10/52 = 0.1923
P(at work || student actuary) = (50 -10/52)
= 42/52
= 0.8077
P(non student actuary) = (80 -10)/80
= 70 / 80
= 0.875
For a non-student, they are only eligible to 4 weeks off in a year
i.e.
P(at work | non student) = (52-4)/52
= 48/52
= 0.9231
∴
P(at work) = P(student actuary) × P(at work || student actuary) + P(non student actuary) × P(at work || non studnet actuary)
P(at work) = (0.125 × 0.8077) + ( 0.875 × 0.9231)
P(at work) = 0.1009625 + 0.8077125
P(at work) = 0.90868
Finally, the P(he is a student) = (P(student actuary) × P(at work || student actuary) ) ÷ P(at work)
P(he is a student) = (0.125 × 0.8077) ÷ 0.90868
P(he is a student) = 0.1009625 ÷ 0.90868
P(he is a student) = 0.1111

Answer:
x^3 -x^2 -17x +12
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the distributive property and collect terms.
(x +4)(x^2 -5x +3) = x(x^2 -5x +3) +4(x^2 -5x +3)
= x^3 -5x^2 +3x +4x^2 -20x +12

Price: 32.80
Sales Tax rate: 8.5%
Answer:
The new price of this thing you're buying is about $35.58.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the new price you could find 8.5% of 32.80 then add it to 32.80. That would give you the new price, or you could simply find 108.5% of 32.80. That one has less steps, so Im going to go with that.
What is 108.5% of 32.80?
Let's set up an equation then solve.
108.5% · 32.80 = X
1.085 · 32.80 = 35.588
The new price of this thing you're buying is about $35.58.

Find the area of the following shape:
Answer:
36cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
total area: 6x(4+3)=42
total area excluding the space: 42-(2x3)=36
Answer:
36 cm squared
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem, I first construct a line. (shown in yellow in the first photo)
I then find the area of the top rectangle. (6 cm * 4 cm = 24 cm squared.)
Next, I find the area of the lower rectangle. But...to do that I have to find the length of the line that I constructed. To do this, I do 6cm-2cm=4cm.
Then I can find the area of the lower rectangle. (4cm*3cm=12cm squared.)
add up the area of both of the rectangles and.........12+24=36 cm squared

The perimeter of ABCD is 52 cm
The area of PQRS is 90 cm?
Find the length of AB.
9514 1404 393
Answer:
21.5 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider rectangle PQRS. Its area is ...
A = LW
90 cm² = PQ×QR = PQ×(20 cm)
(90 cm²)/(20 cm) = PQ = 4.5 cm . . . . . . BC has this value, too
__
Consider the perimeter of ABCD. It is given by ...
P = 2(L +W)
52 cm = 2(AB +BC) . . . . substitute known value for P
26 cm = AB +4.5 cm . . . . use known value for BC, divide by 2
21.5 cm = AB

If the length of a rectangle is four times its width and the perimeter of the rectangle is 90 yd, whats its area?
Answer:
324 yds ^2
Step-by-step explanation:
If length=l and width=w, you could write an equation to find the length and width. Then use that to find the area. L=4w. There are two of each side in the rectangle. 4w+4w+w+w=10w. 10w=90. w=9. 4w=36. L=36. 36*9=324yds^2

56 64 11
65 73 15
74 82 14
83 91 4
92 100 11
Required:
a. What is the sample standard deviation?
b. What is the sample variance?
Answer:
[tex]\sigma = 12.5[/tex] ---- sample standard deviation
[tex]\sigma^2 = 157.2[/tex] ---- sample variance
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving (a): The sample variance
First, we calculate the midpoint of each class (this is the average of the limits)
So, we have:
[tex]x_1 = \frac{56 + 64}{2} = 60[/tex]
[tex]x_2 = \frac{65 + 73}{2} = 69[/tex]
And so on
So, the table becomes:
[tex]\begin{array}{cc}{x} & {f} & {60} & {11} & {69} & {15} & {78} & {14} & {87} & {4} & {96} & 11 \ \end{array}[/tex]
Calculate the mean
[tex]\bar x = \frac{\sum fx}{\sum f}[/tex]
[tex]\bar x = \frac{60*11+69*15+78*14+87*4+96*11}{11+15+14+4+11}[/tex]
[tex]\bar x = \frac{4191}{55}[/tex]
[tex]\bar x = 76.2[/tex]
The variance is:
[tex]\sigma^2 = \frac{\sum f(x - \bar x)^2}{\sum f - 1}[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]\sigma^2 = \frac{(60 - 76.2)^2*11+(69 - 76.2)^2*15+(78 - 76.2)^2 *14+(87 - 76.2)^2*4+(96 - 76.2)^2*11}{11+15+14+4+11-1}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma^2 = \frac{8488.8}{54}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma^2 = 157.2[/tex]
The sample standard deviation is:
[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\sigma^2[/tex]
[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{157.2[/tex]
[tex]\sigma = 12.5[/tex]
Solving (b): The sample variance
In (a), we calculate the sample variance to be:
[tex]\sigma^2 = 157.2[/tex]
A researcher suspects that people who are abused as children tend to be more prone to severe depression as young adults. She prepares a questionnaire that measures depression and that also asks many personal questions about childhood experiences. Think about how an appropriate description of the purpose of this research would be written (to be read by subjects) in order to obtain their informed consent. You must balance the conflicting goals of not deceiving the subjects about what the questionnaire will tell about them and not biasing the sample by scaring off people with painful childhood experiences.Based on this criteria, which of the statements is an appropriate description of the purpose of the research, that would be read by subjects in order to obtain their informed consent? Pay close attention to the wording of each description. a. The purpose of this research is to study whether people who are abused as children tend to be more prone to severe depression as young adults. b. The purpose of this research is to study whether childhood abuse tends to cause severe depression in young adults. c. The purpose of this research is to study whether severe depression is a result of people having bad experiences in childhood. d. The purpose of this research is to study how childhood experiences are related to risk of depression. e. The purpose of this research is to study different experiences people have had in childhood.
Answer:
d. The purpose of this research is to study how childhood experiences are related to risk of depression.
Step-by-step explanation:
This answer satisfies the requirements of the question as it uses mild language that will not scare off respondents while also maintaining transparency and truthfulness. This can be seen in wordings such as;
a. Childhood experiences: Instead of explicitly using the term child-hood abuse which can scare off respondents, this phrase uses a milder form of the word that is also not dishonest in itself.
b. Risk of depression: Instead of using heavy terms such as "severe depression," or shady terms like "bad expreciences," the phrase, "risk of depression," helps the subjects to honestly identify what the question is about in a mild way.

A minority representation group accuses a major bank of racial discrimination in its recent hires for financial analysts. Exactly 16% of all applications were from minority members, and exactly 15% of the 2100 open positions were filled by members of the minority.
Required:
a. Find the mean of p, where p is the proportion of minority member applications in a random sample of 2100 that is drawn from all applications.
b. Find the standard deviation of p.
Answer:
a) The mean is of [tex]\mu = 0.16[/tex]
b) The standard deviation is of [tex]s = 0.008[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Central Limit Theorem
The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].
For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.
For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]
Question a:
Exactly 16% of all applications were from minority members
This means [tex]p = 0.16[/tex], and thus, the mean is of [tex]\mu = p = 0.16[/tex]
b. Find the standard deviation of p.
2100 open positions, thus [tex]n = 2100[/tex].
[tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]
[tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{0.16*0.84}{2100}}[/tex]
[tex]s = 0.008[/tex]
The standard deviation is of [tex]s = 0.008[/tex]

Answer:
The x-intercept is the value of the variable x when the value of the function is equal to zero
so
In the table we have
(-1, 0)(−1,0) is a x-intercept, because
For x=-1x=−1 the value of the function is equal to zero
(-6, 0)(−6,0) is a x-intercept, because
For x=-6x=−6 the value of the function is equal to zero
therefore
the answer is
the continuous function in the table has two x-intercepts
(-1, 0)(−1,0)
(-6, 0)(−6,0)
