i thinks it’s 24. is it asking what 3 times the square root of 64 is?
Answer:
The 90% confidence interval for the true mean number of reproductions per hour for the bacteria is between 11.2 and 11.6 reproductions.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that to find our
level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of
.
So it is z with a pvalue of
, so 
Now, find M as such

In which
is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 11.4 - 0.2 = 11.2 reproductions.
The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 11.4 + 0.2 = 11.6 reproductions.
The 90% confidence interval for the true mean number of reproductions per hour for the bacteria is between 11.2 and 11.6 reproductions.
Answer:
x = -0.62 and x = 4.29
These values are approximations !
Step-by-step explanation:
You can not use Factoring to solve this equation. Perhaps you did not use the exact notation as in the original question?
Anyway, to solve it, you can still use the ABC formula.
3x²-11x-6=0
a = 3
b =-11
c = -6
x = [11 + √{121 -4(3 *-6)} ]/ 2*3
x = [11 + √{121 -4(-24)} ]/ 6
x = [11 + √{121 + 96} ]/ 6
x = [11 + √{217} ]/ 6
x = 4.29 This is an approximation !
x = [11 - √{121 -4(3 *-6)} ]/ 2*3
x = [11 - √{121 -4(-24)} ]/ 6
x = [11 - √{121 + 96} ]/ 6
x = [11 - √{217} ]/ 6
x = -0.62 This is an approximation !
