We know that the points at which the parabola intersects the x axis are
(-5,0) and (1,0)
So the extent between these two points would be the base of the triangle
lets find the length of the base using the distance formula
the base b=6
We will get the height of the triangle when we put x=0 in the equation
y=a(0+5)(0-1)
y=-5a
so height = -5a (we take +5a since it is the height)
We know that the area of the triangle =
× 6 × (5a) = 12
15a=12
a=
Answer:
a)
b)
c) Since the p value is higher than the significance level provided we have enogh evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can't conclude that the true means are different at 5% of significance
Step-by-step explanation:
Information given
represent the mean for 1
represent the mean for 2
represent the population standard deviation for 1
represent the population standard deviation for 2
sample size for the group 1
sample size for the group 2
z would represent the statistic
Hypothesis to test
We want to check if the two means for this case are equal or not, the system of hypothesis would be:
H0:
H1:
The statistic would be given by:
(1)
Part a
Replacing we got:
Part b
The p value would be given by this probability:
Part c
Since the p value is higher than the significance level provided we have enogh evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can't conclude that the true means are different at 5% of significance
