Asmall (but heavy) particle placed in a glass of water will follow a zigzag motion because the particle will bounce off of the water molecules it meets. this is called brownian motion. a physicist simulates this on a computer, by varying the distance a particle can travel (called the mean free length), on average, before it collides with a water molecule and assigning the change in motion to be one of 8 directions, each with a similar probability. by running the simulated particle (with the same mean free length) many times she determines that it should take 15 seconds, on average, for the particle to fall to the bottom, with a standard deviation of 1.5 seconds. next she lets a real particle fall through a glass of water and finds that it took 18 seconds. what does she conclude, and why?

The vertex of this parabola is at (-2,-3). when the x-value is -1, the y-value is -5. what is the coefficient of the squared expression in the parabola's equation?

An office supply company conducted a survey before marketing a new paper shredder designed for home use. in the survey, 80 % of the people who tried the shredder were satisfied with it. because of this high satisfaction rate, the company decided to market the new shredder. assume that 80 % of all people are satisfied with this shredder. during a certain month, 100 customers bought this shredder. find the probability that of these 100 customers, the number who are satisfied is 69 or fewer.
