Hi there!
When we have an equation standard form...
...the formula of the discriminant is
D = b^2 - 4ac
When
D > 0 we have two real solutions
D = 0 we have one real solutions
D < 0 we don't have real solutions
1.) Find the value of the discriminant and the the number of real solutions of
x^2-8x+7=0
Plug in the values from the equation into the formula of the discriminant
D > 0 and therefore we have two real solutions.
2.) Find the value of the discriminant and the number of real solutions of
2x^2+4x+2=0
Again, plug in the values from the equation into the formula of the discriminant.
D = 0 and therefore we have one real solution.
~ Hope this helps you.
Answer:
There is enough evidence to support the claim that the population mean is greater than 100
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1</u>: We state the hypothesis and identify the claim
and (claim)
<u>Step 2</u>: Calculate the test value.
<u>Step 3</u>: Find the P-value. The p-value obtained from a calculator is using d.f=39 and test-value 1.126 is 0.134
<u>Step 4</u>: We fail to reject the null hypothesis since P-value is greater that the alpha level. (0.134>0.05).
<u>Step 5</u>: There is enough evidence to support the claim that the population mean is greater than 100.
<u>Alternatively</u>: We could also calculate the critical value to obtain +1.685 for and d.f=39 and compare to the test-value:
The critical value (1.685>1.126) falls in the non-rejection region. See attachment.
NB: The t- distribution must be used because the population standard deviation is not known.
