Answer:

D. -3 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

-12 = -3 x 4

ANSWER

D. -3 and 4

EXPLANATION

The given quadratic trinomial is

${x}^{2} + x - 12$

To factor this we need to find two factors of -12 that sum up to 1, the coefficient of x.

We can see from the table that, when p=-3 and q=4, then p+q =1.

The trinomial can now be factored as:

${x}^{2} + x - 12 = (x - 3)(x + 4)$

The correct answer is D.

you need to find how much the output changes for each unit change in the input. (ie from an input change from 5 to 6 the output changes by three units and an input change of 3 (2 - 5 ) units the output changes by 9 units). This will give you the gradient of the equation. then you have to find out the y intercept by finding what the output is when the input is 0. Do this by multiplying the input by the gradient and then subtracting it from that inputs output. This will give you the answer A) 3x

(Sorry, its a bit wordy :) )

It is believed that 11% of all Americans are left-handed. A college needs to know how many left-handed desks to place in the big

Vinil7 [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable (x) here would be a randomly selected student from the college that is left-handed.

The population parameter would be 11% of America's total population. The total population as of 2019 is believed to be 328.2 million, and 11% of that figure is about 36.1 million (thirty-six million one hundred thousand).
Hypotheses: Remember, the null hypothesis usually reflects the held view of the researcher, and since we are told the college wants to know if the data provide enough evidence to show that students at this college have a different percentage of left-handers than the general American population. It could read; There is a statistically significant difference in the percentage of left-handers in the college than the American population. While the alternate hypothesis could read; There is no statistically significant difference in the percentage of left-handers in the college than the American population.

The Type I error implies rejecting the null hypothesis when it is actually true. That is: Rejecting that the % of all students from that college that are left-handed is 11 % when the % is really 11 %.

The Type II error implies accepting the null hypothesis when it is actually false. That is: Failing to reject that the % of all students from that college that are left-handed is 11 % when the % is actually different.
