Answer:

The margin of error for the confidence interval is of 0.25 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

With what we are given, the only thing that this question can be asked is the margin of error for the confidence interval of the mean duration of telephone calls directed by a local telephone company.

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1-0.9}{2} = 0.05

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1-\alpha.

So it is z with a pvalue of 1-0.05 = 0.95, so z = 1.645

Now, find the margin of error M as such

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

Using what we are given:

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

M = 1.645*\frac{3.6}{\sqrt{560}}

M = 0.25

The margin of error for the confidence interval is of 0.25 minutes.

Joseph has started completing the square on the equation 3x2 - 7x + 12 = 0. He has worked to the point where he has the expressi
tresset_1 [31]
3x^2 - 7x + 12 = 0 ....subtract 12 from both sides
3x^2 - 7x = -12 ....divide both sides by 3 to get x^2 by itself
x^2 - 7/3x = -4

His work is not accurate because he divided the second term by 4 instead of 3.

Pls help me, I dont get the question. Polynomials
AnnZ [28]

The given polyn. is not in std. form. To answer this question, we need to perform the indicated operations (mult., addn., subtrn.) first and then arrange the terms of this poly in descending order by powers of x:

P(x) = x(160 - x) - (100x + 500)

When this work has been done, we get P(x) = 160x - x^2 - 100x - 500, or

P(x) = -x^2 + 60x - 500

So, you see, the last term is -500. This means that if x = 0, not only is there no profit, but the company is "in the hole" for $500.
