xBar ± z * sx / sqrt(n)
where xBar is the sample
mean
z is the zscore for having
α% of the data in the tails, i.e., P( |Z| > z) = α
sx is the sample standard
deviation
n is the sample size
For sample size
calcualtions we need the following. The width of the interval, from one end
point to the center is:
z * sx / sqrt(n) =
w and solving for n gives:
<span> n = (z * sx / w) ^ 2 </span>
remember that n needs to
be an integer. Always take the ceiling, i.e., round up. If you round down then
the width of the interval will not be correct, it will be too wide. By rounding
up, the interval will be more narrow than asked for, but this is a good thing.
It means there is more precision in the estimate.
<span> here we have </span>
z = 2.05
w = 0.04 * 152 = 6.08
n = (z * sx / w) ^ 2 n =
(2.05 * 26 / 6.08)^2
n = 76.8506
Round of the answer since
n must be an integer.
<span>n = 77 </span>
The smallest positive integer that the intermediate value theorem guarantees a zero exists between 0 and a is 3.
What is the intermediate value theorem?
Intermediate value theorem is theorem about all possible y-value in between two known y-value.
x-intercepts
-x^2 + x + 2 = 0
x^2 - x - 2 = 0
(x + 1)(x - 2) = 0
x = -1, x = 2
y intercepts
f(0) = -x^2 + x + 2
f(0) = -0^2 + 0 + 2
f(0) = 2
(Graph attached)
From the graph we know the smallest positive integer value that the intermediate value theorem guarantees a zero exists between 0 and a is 3
For proof, the zero exists when x = 2 and f(3) = -4 < 0 and f(0) = 2 > 0.
<em>Your question is not complete, but most probably your full questions was</em>
<em>Given the polynomial f(x)=− x 2 +x+2 , what is the smallest positive integer a such that the Intermediate Value Theorem guarantees a zero exists between 0 and a ?</em>
Thus, the smallest positive integer that the intermediate value theorem guarantees a zero exists between 0 and a is 3.

The number of days is 10 if, on a poultry farm, 50 hens give 200 eggs in 2 days.
<h3>What is the ratio?</h3>
It is described as the comparison of two quantities to determine how many times one obtains the other. The proportion can be expressed as a fraction or as a sign: between two integers.
It is given that:
On a poultry farm, 50 hens give 200 eggs in 2 days.
It is required to find the number of days will 20 hens require to give 400 eggs:
Let x be the number of days:
(50×2)/200 = (20x)/400
x = 10
Thus, the number of days is 10 if, on a poultry farm, 50 hens give 200 eggs in 2 days.

Answer:
I'm not 100% sure but it might be b
Step-by-step explanation:
<span>a. only 2.5
By plugging in all three values, we will find that only 2.5 will create a correct solution of the choices.
</span>5.6+0.4(2.5) < 6(2.5) True
6.6 < 15
5.6+0.4(1) < 6(1) False
6 < 6
5.6+0.4(0.875) < 6(0.875) false
5.95<5.25
