The value of the function at x = -1 is 5

<h3>What is function?</h3>

Function can be defined as an expression, rule, or law that defines a relationship between one variable known as the independent variable and another called the dependent variable.

From the information given, we have that;

f (x) = 3 (2)x with x=-1

Now, let's substitute the value of x as - 1 in the function given;

f (x) = 3 (2)x

f (x) = 3 (2) -1

Expand the bracket;

f (x) = 6 - 1

f(x) = 5

Thus, the value of the function at x = -1 is 5

The population standard deviation for the temperature of beers found in Scooter's Tavern is 0.26 degrees. If we want to be 90% c

Answer:

19 beers must be sampled.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our $\alpha$ level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

$\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.05$

Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of $1 - \alpha$ .

That is z with a pvalue of $1 - 0.05 = 0.95$ , so Z = 1.645.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

The population standard deviation for the temperature of beers found in Scooter's Tavern is 0.26 degrees.

This means that $\sigma = 0.26$

If we want to be 90% confident that the sample mean beer temperature is within 0.1 degrees of the true mean temperature, how many beers must we sample?

This is n for which M = 0.1. So

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$0.1 = 1.645\frac{0.26}{\sqrt{n}}$
