Use the Quadratic Formula to solve

x²-13x+42=0

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

x1=7,

x2=6

Step-by-step explanation:

x²-13x+42=0

a=1, b=-13, c=42

x1,2=(-b+-sqrt(b^2-4ac)) /2a

x1,2=(-(-13)+-sqrt((-13)^2-4*1*42))/2*1

x1,2=(13+-sqrt (169-168))/2

x1,2=(13+-sqrt(1))/2

x1,2=(13+-1)/2

x1=(13+1)/2, x2=(13-1)/2

x1=14/2, x2=12/2

x1=7, x2 =6

12, 6, 7, 11, 11, 9, 13, 16, 10. What is the interquartile range of the data set?

Answers

first put the numbers in order
6,7,9,10,11,11,12,13,16

Q1 = (7 + 9) / 2 = 16/2 = 8
Q2 (median) = 11
Q3 = (12 + 13) / 2 = 25/2 = 12.50

Interquartile range (IQR) = Q3 - Q1 = 12.50 - 8.00 = 4.5

Problem 1

Answer: Choice B) angle1 = 26, angle2 = 64

----------

Explanation:

Complementary angles add to 90

(angle1)+(angle2) = 90

(5x+6)+(68-x) = 90

4x+74 = 90

4x = 90-74

4x = 16

x = 16/4

x = 4

So,

angle1 = 5x+6 = 5(4)+6 = 26

angle2 = 68-x = 68-4 = 64

Note how

angle1+angle2 = 26+64 = 90

Problem 2

Answer: Choice D) BC, AC, AB

----------

Explanation:

The shortest side of a triangle is always opposite the smallest angle.

The longest side of a triangle is always opposite the largest angle.

Based on those two facts, we can say the shortest side is BC (since angle A = 53 is the smallest angle) and the longest side is AB (since angle C = 70 is the largest)

The order from smallest to largest is

BC, AC, AB

==========================================

Problem 3

Answer: Choice D) B < C < A

----------

Explanation:

Use the reverse of the idea from problem 2. We know that AC is the smallest side which must mean that angle B is the smallest angle. Since BC is the largest side, angle A must be the largest angle.

The order of the angles is B < C < A

Problem 4

Answer: Choice A) angle 5 = 50, angle 8 = 130

==========================================

Problem 5

Answer: Choice A) angle G is the smallest

----------

Explanation:

Use the same idea as problem 2. The smallest angle is opposite the smallest side. The smallest side is 48, so angle G being opposite of that side, is the smallest angle.

Angle O would be the largest as it is opposite the largest side DG = 70

Let u = w² ≥ 0 . (a) Compute the exact risk premium if initial wealth is 4 and if a decision maker faces the lottery (-2, 1/2 ; +2, 1/2 ). Explain why the risk premium is negative.

Answers

Answer:

The risk premium is positive, indicating a preference for certainty over risk.

Step-by-step explanation:

The risk premium is a measure of how much someone is willing to pay to avoid a risky situation or to insure against potential losses. It is the difference between the expected value of a gamble (or lottery) and the guaranteed (certain) outcome.

In this case, you're dealing with a decision maker who has initial wealth of 4 and faces the following lottery:

   Option A: A loss of 2 with a probability of 1/2

   Option B: A gain of 2 with a probability of 1/2

Let's calculate the expected value of this lottery:

Expected Value (EV) = (Probability of Option A) * (Value of Option A) + (Probability of Option B) * (Value of Option B)

EV = (1/2) * (-2) + (1/2) * (2)

EV = -1 + 1

EV = 0

The expected value of this lottery is 0. This means that, on average, the decision maker doesn't expect to gain or lose wealth; it's a fair game in terms of expected value.

Now, to calculate the risk premium, we compare this lottery to a certain outcome. In this case, the certain outcome is keeping the initial wealth of 4.

Risk Premium = Guaranteed Outcome - Expected Value of Lottery

Risk Premium = 4 - 0

Risk Premium = 4

The risk premium is 4, which means that the decision maker is willing to pay up to 4 to avoid taking this lottery. This is because the lottery is a risky proposition, and the decision maker values the certainty of keeping their initial wealth at 4 over the gamble, even though, on average, the gamble doesn't result in a gain or loss. Therefore, the risk premium is positive, indicating a preference for certainty over risk.

Which phrase accurately describes a distribution that's bell-shaped but not symmetric?

Answers

A skewed distribution should be the right answer. It is a distribution that's bell-shaped but not symmetric. A skewed distribution do not have a symmetric appearance unlike a normal distribution. Skewness is the measure of the asymmetry.

Answer:

The answer is skewed distribution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Which phrase accurately describes a distribution that's bell-shaped but not symmetric?

Skewness is defined as asymmetry in a statistical distribution where the curve appears distorted or skewed either to the left or to the right, but not in the center.

When distributions possess a bell shape but is not centered, then they are called skewed distributions.
