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

\large\mathfrak{{\pmb{\underline{\orange{Step-by-step\:explanation}}{\orange{:}}}}}

f(x) =  \frac{2x + 3}{4x + 5} \\

For f(-9), put "-9" for every value of "x".

↬f( - 9) =  \frac{2( - 9) + 3}{4( - 9) + 5}\\

↬ f(-9) =  \frac{ - 18 + 3}{ - 36 + 5} \\

↬ f(-9) =  \frac{ - 15}{ - 31}\\

↬ f(-9)=  \frac{15}{31}\\

↬f(-9)=  0.48\\

Please answer this question picture shown !!
Naddik [55]
The answer is choice D because the expression 6x^3+x^2-3 is the same as 6x^3+1x^2+0x+(-3). Notice the coefficients are 6, 1, 0, -3

The expression x-7 is in the form x-k where k = 7. This is the test root which is placed outside of the synthetic division bar as shown in choice D.
