Well the formula for the quadratic equation is y = -b + √b² - 4ac / 2a
Fill in the variables with the information where a = 2, b = 2, and c = -12.

The final answer is y = -2 + √2² - 4(2)(-12) / 2(2)
A simplified answer would be y = -2 + √4 + 96 / 4, which further simplifies to
y = -2 + 10 / 4

This can be simplified into two answers, either y = -3 or y = 2

There were 3 apple, 1 mixed fruit, 2 grape, and 4 tropical fruit juice boxes in the cooler at the picnic. What is the probabilit

goldenfox [79]

There are 10 juice boxes in the cooler altogether.
2 of them are grape.

The first time Jill pulls one out with her eyes closed,
the probability that it's a grape is

2 / 10 .

If that try is successful, then there are 9 boxes left in the cooler,
and one of them is grape.

If she already has one grape, and reaches in again with her eyes
closed, the probability of pulling out the second grape is

1 / 9 .

The probability of both events happening in two tries is

(2/10) x (1/9) = 2/90 = 1/45 = (2 and 2/9) percent .

A paint manufacturer uses a machine to fill gallon cans with paint (1 galequals128 ounces). The manufacturer wants to estimate

kvasek [131]

Answer:

a) To determine the minimum sample size we need to use the formula shown in the picture 1.

E is the margin of error, which is the distance from the limits to the middle (the mean) of the confidence interval. This means that we have to divide the range of the interval by 2 to find this distance.

E = 0.5/2 = 0.25

Now we apply the formula

n = (1.645*0.80/0.25)^2 = 27.7 = 28

The minimum sample size would be 28.

b) To answer the question we are going to make a 90% confidence interval. The formula is:

(μ - E, μ + E)

μ is the mean which is 127. The formula for E is shown in the picture.

E = 0.80*1.645/√8 = 0.47

(126.5, 127.5)

This means that the true mean is going to be contained in this interval 90% of the time. This is why it doesn't seem possible that the population mean is exactly 128.
