-8(x + 1) + 3(x - 2) = -3x + 2

Find an bif a = {3, 6, 9, 12) and b = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10).

If your score on your next statistics test is converted to a z score, which of these z scores would you prefer: minus2.00, minus1.00, 0, 1.00, 2.00? why? a. the z score of 2.00 is most preferable because it is 2.00 standard deviations above the mean and would correspond to the highest of the five different possible test scores. b. the z score of 0 is most preferable because it corresponds to a test score equal to the mean. c. the z score of minus2.00 is most preferable because it is 2.00 standard deviations below the mean and would correspond to the highest of the five different possible test scores. d. the z score of minus1.00 is most preferable because it is 1.00 standard deviation below the mean and would correspond to an above average

To find the inverse of a number a, one can use the equation f(c) = a-1/c=0 where c is the inverse of a use the secant method of finding roots of equations to find the inverse of a = 2.5 ,er = 0.001%
