To solve for the confidence interval for the true average percentage elongation, we use the z statistic. The formula for confidence interval is given as:

Confidence interval = x ± z σ / sqrt (n)

where,

x = the sample mean = 8.63

σ = sample standard deviation = 0.79

n = number of samples = 56

 

From the standard distribution tables, the value of z at 95% confidence interval is:

z = 1.96

 

Therefore substituting the known values into the equation:

Confidence interval = 8.63 ± (1.96) (0.79) / sqrt (56)

Confidence interval = 8.63 ± 0.207

Confidence interval = 8.42, 8.84

Solve the equation for x, where x is a real number (5 points): <br> 2x^2 + 7x - 9 = -3
Tanya [424]
Add 3 to both sides so that the equation becomes 2x^2 + 7x - 6 = 0.
To find the solutions to this equation, we can apply the quadratic formula. This quadratic formula solves equations of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0
                              x = [ -b ± √(b^2 - 4ac) ] / (2a)
                              x = [ -7 ± √(7^2 - 4(2)(-6)) ] / ( 2(2) )
                              x = [ -7 ± √(49 - (-48) ) ] / ( 4 )
                              x = [ -7 ± √(97) ] / ( 4)
                              x = [ -7 ± sqrt(97) ] / ( 4 )
                              x = -7/4 ± sqrt(97)/4
The answers are -7/4 + sqrt(97)/4 and -7/4 - sqrt(97)/4.

Simplify the expression fraction with numerator of the square root of negative four and denominator of the quantity three plus i
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

\frac{-4+2i}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the expression, \frac{\sqrt{-4}}{(3+i)-(2+3i)}

On simplifying, we have,

\frac{2i}{3+i-2-3i}

i.e. \frac{2i}{1-2i}

Now, we will rationalize the expression,

i.e. \frac{2i}{1-2i}\times \frac{1+2i}{1+2i}

i.e. \frac{(2i)\times (1+2i)}{(1-2i)\times (1+2i)}

i.e. \frac{2i+4i^{2}}{1-4i^{2}}

Since, i^{2}=-1, we get,

i.e. \frac{2i-4}{1+4}

i.e. \frac{-4+2i}{5}

So, the simplified expression is  \frac{-4+2i}{5}.

Solve the below system of equations using the best method. Please describe the method used [substitution, graphing, elimination,
lakkis [162]
Since both equations are solved for y, use substitution.

y = 2x + 3
y = -x - 5

2x + 3 = -x - 5

3x + 3 = -5

3x = -8

x = -8/3

Now substitute -8/3 in for x in the original first equation, and solve for y.

y = 2x + 3

y = 2(-8/3) + 3

y = -16/3 + 9/3

y = -7/3

Solution: (-8/3, -7/3)
