Answer:

f(x) = - 8

Explanation:

The given function is

f(x) =2x^2 -4x -6

The first step is to find the derivative of the function. Recall, if

y = ax^b

y' = abx^(b - 1)

Thus,

f'(x) = 4x - 4

We would equate f'(x) to zero and solve for x. We have

4x - 4 = 0

4x = 4

x = 4/4

x = 1

We would substitute x = 1 into the original function and solve for f(x) or y. It becomes

f(1) =2(1)^2 -4(1) - 6 = 2 - 4 - 6

f(1) = - 8

Thus, the minimum value is f(x) = - 8

It is believed that Lake Tahoe Community College (LTCC) Intermediate Algebra students get less than seven hours of sleep per nig
Kitty [74]

Answer: No , at 0.05 level of significance , we have sufficient evidence to reject the claim that LTCC Intermediate Algebra students get less than seven hours of sleep per night, on average.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let \mu denotes the average hours of sleep per night.

As per given , we have

H_0:\mu=7\\H_a:\mu

, since H_a is left-tailed and population standard deviation is unknown, so the test is a left-tailed t -test.

Also , it is given that ,

Sample size : n= 22

Sample mean : \overline{x}=7.24

Sample  standard deviation : s= 1.93

Test statistic : t=\dfrac{\overline{x}-\mu}{\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}

i.e.  t=\dfrac{7.24-7}{\dfrac{1.93}{\sqrt{22}}}\approx0.58

For significance level \alpha=0.05 and degree of freedom 21 (df=n-1),

Critical t-value for left-tailed test= t_{\alpha, df}=t_{0.05,21}=- 1.7207

Decision : Since the test statistic value (0.58) > critical value  1.7207, it means we are failed to reject the null hypothesis .

[Note : When |t_{cal}|>|t_{cri}|, then we accept the null hypothesis.]

Conclusion: We have sufficient evidence to reject the claim that LTCC Intermediate Algebra students get less than seven hours of sleep per night, on average.
