(x - 4)(x - 3), First find the factors of x^2 which is x and x so write that down of the left sides of both brackets. Next, find the factors of 12 that when added gives you the middle number which is -7 and i got 3 and 4 so write that down in the right sides in the brackets. Lastly you need to know the signs so now since its + 12 you need the signs that give you a positive number which is - and - but its also + and +, so look at the middle number its -7x so +3 +4 wont give you -7x but -3 - 4 will so that your answer,
Hope this helped!

Historically, the proportion of people who trade in their old car to a car dealer when purchasing a new car is 48%. Over the pre

artcher [175]

Answer: The proportion of new car buyers that trade in their old car has statistically significantly decreased.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

p = 48% = 0.48

n = 115

x = 46

So, $\hat{p}=\dfrac{46}{115}=0.40$

So, hypothesis would be

$H_0:\ p=\hat{p}\\\\H_a:p$

So, test value would be

$z=\dfrac{p-\hat{p}}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}\\\z=\dfrac{0.48-0.40}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.48\times 0.52}{115}}}\\\\z=\dfrac{0.08}{0.0466}\\\\z=1.72$

At 10% level of significance, critical value would be

z= 1.28

Since 1.28 < 1.72

So, we will reject the null hypothesis.

Hence, the proportion of new car buyers that trade in their old car has statistically significantly decreased.
