Answer:

d. 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard deviation is 4.5

Margin error for the problem is 2 hours

Probability 95%, that means that the siginficance level α is 1 – p

α = 1 – 0.95 = 0.05

margin of error (ME) can be defined as follows

ME = Z(α/2) * standard deviation/ √n

Where n is the sample size

Z(0.05/2) = Z(0.025)

Using a z table Z = 1.96

Now, replacing in the equation and find n

2 = 1.96 * 4.5/ √n

2 = 8.82/√n

√n = 8.82/2

√n = 4.41

n = 4.41^2

n = 19.44 ≈ 20

Graph the quadratic variation if g(x) varies directly with x^2, and g(x) = 75 when x = 5.
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

Third graph from the top

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for g(x) is  g(x) = 3 · x∧2

When we replace x=5 in the formula we get:

g(5) = 3 · 5∧2 = 3 · 25 = 75

How to integrate sqrt(1+x^3)?
Karolina [17]
First integrate the entire thing by letting multiplying by 1/2 the entire expression raised to exponent 1/2 - 1. That is,
                          0.5(1 + x³)^-0.5
Then, multiplying this by the derivative of those inside the parentheses. The final answer would be,
                          (0.5)((1 + x³)^-0.5)(3x²)
