Let X be a normally distributed random variable with mean 20 and standard deviation 6. Find: a) P(X < 27); and b) the value of x such that P(X < x) = 0.3015.

a) 27 is higher than the mean. So we can simply calculate the z value. z = (27 - 20)/6 ≈ 1.17. Using the table in the formula booklet, we find that P(Z < 1.17) = 0.8790, so P(X ...

Simplify 4x^2 + 10x

Find the highest common factor of each component. H.c.f. of 4 and 10 is 2, so:4x2 + 10x = 2(2x2 + 5x)H.c.f of x2 and x is simply x, so:2( 2x2 + 5x) = 2x(2x + 5...
