Explanation:
We are given the quadratic equation
, which we then compare with the standard form of a quadratic. The general quadratic is identified as
. From our given equation, it follows that a=1,b=-8,c=-9
. To calculate the discriminant, we insert these values into the formula
. Now, to find the value of x
The formula is
. The resulting equation will be obtained by rewriting the original equation through rearranging 9 to the right side and applying negative signs within brackets to convert the expression into the form of

Greetings!
You have the variable
X: Area eligible for painting with a can of spray paint (feet²)
This variable is normally distributed with a mean of μ= 25 feet² and a standard deviation of δ= 3 feet²
As this variable has a normal distribution, it needs to be converted into the standard normal form to utilize tabulated cumulative probabilities.
a.
P(X>27)
The first step involves standardizing the X value using Z= (X-μ)/ δ ~N(0;1)
P(Z>(27-25)/3)
P(Z>0.67)
Having determined the Z value, you can find it in the table, but since the table includes probabilities for , the following conversion must be applied:
P(Z>0.67)= 1 - P(Z≤0.67)= 1 - 0.74857= 0.25143
b.
A sample of 20 cans was taken, and you need to ascertain the probability of averaging a coverage area of 540 feet².
The sample mean maintains the same distribution as its source variable, but its variance is influenced by sample size, thus it is normally distributed with parameters:
X[bar]~N(μ;δ²/n)
To cover 540 feet² with 20 cans, the average coverage must be approximately 540/20= 27 feet² per can.
c.
P(X≤27) = P(Z≤(27-25)/(3/√20))= P(Z≤2.98)= 0.999d.No, if the distribution is not normal and skewed, the normal distribution should not be applied for calculating probabilities. While the central limit theorem might approximate the sampling distribution to normal when the sample size is 30 or larger, that isn’t applicable here.
I trust this information is helpful!
