Answer: (628.48,\ 661.52)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Sample size : n=16 , which is a small sample (, 30) so we use t-test.

Sample mean : \overline{x}=645 \text{ hours}

Standard deviation : \sigma = 31 \text{ hours}

Significance level : \alpha=1-0.95=0.05

Critical value : t_{n-1,\alpha/2}=2.131

The confidence interval for population mean is given by :-

\overline{x}\pm t_{n-1,\alpha/2}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\=645\pm(2.131)\dfrac{31}{\sqrt{16}}\\\\\approx645\pm16.52\\\\=(645-16.52,\ 645+16.52)\\\\=(628.48,\ 661.52)

Hence, a 95% confidence interval for the population mean \mu = (628.48,\ 661.52)

Write a quadratic function for each graph described.
user100 [1]

Answer:

y=2x^2-\frac{4}{3}x-\frac{10}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The roots of the quadratic function (x-intercepts) are

x=-1 and x=5/3

so

we can write the equation of the parabola as

y=a(x+1)(x-\frac{5}{3})

where

a is a coefficient

Remember that

The parabola pass through the point (5,40)

substitute the value of x and the value of y of the ordered pair in the quadratic equation and solve for a

x=5, y=40

40=a(5+1)(5-\frac{5}{3})

40=a(6)(\frac{10}{3})

40=20a\\a=2

substitute

y=2(x+1)(x-\frac{5}{3})

apply distributive property

y=2(x^2-\frac{5}{3}x+x-\frac{5}{3})\\\\y=2(x^2-\frac{2}{3}x-\frac{5}{3})\\\\y=2x^2-\frac{4}{3}x-\frac{10}{3}

see the attached figure to better understand the problem
