\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \pmb{1) \  2x^3-7x^2+8x-3=0 } \end{gathered}$}

Synthetic division is used since the equation is of the third degree. The divisors of -3 are 1, -1, 3, +3. So:

  | 2  -7    8  -3

<u>1 |      2   -5   3</u>

  | 2   -5    3  0

<u> 1 |      2     -3   </u>

    2   -3     0

So the factorization is (x-1)² (2x-3)=0. So:

                     \bf{ x_1=x_2=1 \qquad x_2=\dfrac{3}{2}  }

\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \pmb{2) \  x^3-x^2-4=0 } \end{gathered}$}

Synthetic division is used since the equation is of the third degree. The divisors of -4 are 1, -1, 2, -2, 4, -4. So:

      |  1  -1  0  -4

  <u>2  |     2  2     </u>

         1  2  2  0

So the factorization is (x-2)(x²+x+2)=0 . When calculating the discriminant of the trinomial, it is concluded that it has no roots since the result is negative. So you only have one solution.

                   \bf{ 1^2-4(2)(2)=1-16=-15 < 0 \quad \Longrightarrow \quad x=2 }

\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \pmb{3) \  6x^3+7x^2-9x+2=0 } \end{gathered}$}

Synthetic division is used since the equation is of the third degree. The divisors of 2 are 1, -1, 2, -2. So:

   | 6    7       9      2

<u>-2 |      -12    10     -2</u>

     6    -5     1       0

So the factorization is (x+2)(6x²-5x+1)=0 . The quadratic equation is solved by the general formula:

         \bf{ x_{2, 3}&=\dfrac{5\pm \sqrt{(5)^2-4(6)(1)}}{2(6)}=\dfrac{5\pm \sqrt{25-24}}{12}=\dfrac{5\pm 1}{12} }}

                     \large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf  \begin{matrix} x_1=-2&\ \ \ \ \ \ x_{2}=\dfrac{6}{12} \qquad &\ \ \ x_3=\dfrac{4}{12}\\ &\ \ \ x_2=\dfrac{1}{2} \qquad &x_3=\dfrac{1}{3} \end{matrix} \end{gathered}$}

While researching the cost of school lunches per week across the state, you use a sample size of 45 weekly lunch prices. The sta
Drupady [299]

We assume the lunch prices we observe are drawn from a normal distribution with true mean \mu and standard deviation 0.68 in dollars.


We average n=45 samples to get \bar{x}.


The standard deviation of the average (an experiment where we collect 45 samples and average them) is the square root of n times smaller than than the standard deviation of the individual samples. We'll write


\sigma = 0.68 / \sqrt{45} = 0.101


Our goal is to come up with a confidence interval (a,b) that we can be 90% sure contains \mu.


Our interval takes the form of ( \bar{x} - z \sigma, \bar{x} + z \sigma ) as \bar{x} is our best guess at the middle of the interval. We have to find the z that gives us 90% of the area of the bell in the "middle".


Since we're given the standard deviation of the true distribution we don't need a t distribution or anything like that. n=45 is big enough (more than 30 or so) that we can substitute the normal distribution for the t distribution anyway.


Usually the questioner is nice enough to ask for a 95% confidence interval, which by the 68-95-99.7 rule is plus or minus two sigma. Here it's a bit less; we have to look it up.


With the right table or computer we find z that corresponds to a probability p=.90 the integral of the unit normal from -z to z. Unfortunately these tables come in various flavors and we have to convert the probability to suit. Sometimes that's a one sided probability from zero to z. That would be an area aka probability of 0.45 from 0 to z (the "body") or a probability of 0.05 from z to infinity (the "tail"). Often the table is the integral of the bell from -infinity to positive z, so we'd have to find p=0.95 in that table. We know that the answer would be z=2 if our original p had been 95% so we expect a number a bit less than 2, a smaller number of standard deviations to include a bit less of the probability.


We find z=1.65 in the typical table has p=.95 from -infinity to z. So our 90% confidence interval is


( \bar{x} - 1.65 (.101),  \bar{x} + 1.65 (.101) )


in other words a margin of error of


\pm 1.65(.101) = \pm 0.167 dollars


That's around plus or minus 17 cents.
