The preferred method is to complete the square. Please see the detailed screenshot attached.
Alternately, you can calculate the value for the vertex as such using this formula for the ordered pair:
. Then, you can plug this point in for
.
Answer:
(a) t = 1.6766
Step-by-step explanation:
n = 50
degree of freedom = n - 1 = 50 - 1 = 49
confidence level = 90%
The critical value corresponding to 90% confidence level and 49 degrees of freedom is obtained by interpolating between 48 and 50 degrees of freedom (df)
Let the critical value at 49 df be y
dof. critical value
48. 1.677
49. y
50. 1.676
(49 - 48)/(50 - 48) = (y - 1.677)/(1.676 - 1.677)
0.5 × -1×10^-3 = y - 1.677
y - 1.677 = -5×10^-4
y = -5×10^-4 + 1.677 = 1.6765
The closest option is (a)
