Given:
Accuracy = 5
99% confidence interval
s = 17, sample standard deviation.

Because the population standard deviation is unknown, we should use the Student's t distribution.
The accuracy at the 99% confidence level for estimating the true mean is
t*( \frac{s}{ \sqrt{n} )}
where
n =  the sample size.
t* is provided by the t-table.

That is,
(17t*)/√n = 5
√n = (17t*)/5 = 3.4t*
n = 11.56(t*)²

A table of t* values versus df (degrees of freedom) is as follows.
Note that df = n-1.

     n      df         t*
------ --------  -------
1001 1000  2.581
  101    100  2.626
   81      80  2.639
   61      60  2.660

We should evaluate iteratively until the guessed value, n, agrees with the computed value, N.

Try n = 1001 => df = 1000.
t* = 2.581
N = 11.56*(2.581²) = 77
No agreement.

Try n = 81 => df = 80
t* = 2.639
N = 11.56*(2.639²) = 80.5
Good agreement

We conclude that n = 81.

Answer: The sample size is 81.

Question 1 Part B (3 points): Using the GCF that you chose in part A, factor that GCF out of the polynomial:
Aleks [24]

The factor of the polynomial 18x³ + 6x²y - 9x² - 3xy will be 3x(6x² - 2xy - 3x - y). Then the correct option is C.

<h3>What is a factorization?</h3>

It is a method for dividing a polynomial into pieces that will be multiplied together. At this moment, the polynomial's value will be zero.

The polynomial is given below.

⇒ 18x³ + 6x²y - 9x² - 3xy

Then the factor of the polynomial will be

⇒ 18x³ + 6x²y - 9x² - 3xy

⇒ 3x(6x² - 2xy - 3x - y)

More about the factorization link is given below.

COME GET 50 POINTS!!
MArishka [77]

Answer:

Quadratic, because the height increases and then decreases.

Step-by-step explanation:

In an exponential function, the graph will either increase or decrease over the entire domain.  It does not change direction.

We can see from the table that the heights increase and then decrease; this means it cannot be an exponential function.

A quadratic function has a graph that is u-shaped.  It will start out either increasing or decreasing, and then after the maximum or minimum is reached, it changes direction.

We can see from the table that this is what the heights do; this means it is a quadratic function.
