The equation of this parabola will have the form f(x) = a(x+5)(x-4), which works out to f(x) = a(x^2 + x - 20). Since the parabola passes thru (3,40),
40 = a(3^2 + 3 - 20), or 40 = a(-8), so a = -5.
Thus, the equation of this parabola is y = -5(x^2 + x - 20).
True mean = mean+/- Z*(SD/sqrt (n))
Where
Z = 1.96 at 95% confidence interval
Mean = 10.3 pounds
SD = standard deviation = 2.4 pounds
n= sample size = 37 packages
Substituting;
True mean range = 10.3+/- 1.96 * 2.4/Sqrt (37) =10.3+/- 0.77 = 9.53<mean<11.07
Answer:
P=7
Step-by-step explanation:
7-3=4
4/2=2
