A psychological researcher did a study with a sample of 84 boys and found that the meam length of time that they remained engage

d with a science exhibit at a museum was 107 second. assuming that from past studies it was known that the population standard deviation was 11.7
a) the best estimate for the population mean u is__

b) find the 99% confidence interval of mean length of time for a recent population

Please helppppppp

Sample size= n= 84
sample mean= x = 107 s
population standard deviation =σ= 11.7

As, population standard deviation is given so we use the estimate:
                             x(+/-) z(α/2)(σ/√n)

At 99% Confidence interval means significance level is α=1-0.99= 0.01
So,
α/2=0.005
Now, z at α/2=0.005 
z= 2.576
Now, by putting values 
                               107(+/-)((2.576)(11.7/√84)) 
              ( 107-((2.576)(11.7/√84)), 107+((2.576)(11.7/√84))  )    
               (103.7, 110.288)

Answer:

12) x = 10 or x = -10

13) b = 3 or b = -3.

14) r = 6 or r = -2

15)  n = 0 or -2

Step-by-step explanation:

12) Given, 4|x| + 3 = 43

Now, for x ≥ 0, |x| = x and for x < 0, |x| = -x

So, for x ≥ 0, the equation becomes 4x + 3 = 43

⇒ 4x = 40

⇒ x = 10

Again, for x < 0, we have - 4x + 3 = 43

⇒ - 4x = 40

⇒ x = - 10

Therefore, the solution of the equation is x = 10 or x = -10. (Answer)

13) Given, 3|b| + 5 = 14

Now, for b ≥ 0, |b| = b and for b < 0, |b| = -b

So, for b ≥ 0, the equation becomes 3b + 5 = 14

⇒ 3b = 9

⇒ b = 3

Again, for b < 0, we have - 3b + 5 = 14

⇒ - 3b = 9

⇒ b = - 3

Therefore, the solution of the equation is b = 3 or b = -3. (Answer)

14) 9|2r - 4| + 1 = 73

Now, for 2r - 4 ≥0 i.e. r ≥ 2, then

9(2r - 4) + 1 = 73

⇒ 2r - 4 = 8

⇒ 2r = 12

⇒ r = 6

Again, for (2r - 4) < 0 i.e. r < 2, then

9(4 - 2r) + 1 = 73

⇒ 4 - 2r = 8

⇒ 2r = - 4

⇒ r = -2

Hence, the solutions are r = 6 and r = -2  (Answer)

15) For, 10n + 10 ≥ 0 i.e. n ≥ -1, then

1 + 4(10n + 10) = 41

⇒ 10n + 10 =10

⇒ 10n = 0

⇒ n = 0

Again, for 10n + 10 < 0 i.e. n < -1, then

1 - 4(10n + 10) = 41

⇒ 10n + 10 = - 10

⇒ 10n = -20

⇒ n = -2  

Hence, the solution is n = 0 or -2 (Answer)

What is −5x+4y=3<br> x=2y−15<br> ​
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

x=9

y=12

Step-by-step explanation:

you know what the value of x is in terms of the second equation

so put that value into the first equation

so

-5(2y-15) + 4y = 3

-10y + 75 + 4y = 3

-6y + 75 = 3

-6y = -72

y = 12 (now we have the actual value of y, just substitute this into any of the first two original functions)

x = 2(12) - 15

x = 24 - 15

x = 9

Which pair of statements describes the end behavior of the graphed function
Alex777 [14]

The statement (A) As x approaches negative infinity, f(x) approaches infinity. As x approaches infinity, f(x) approaches infinity is correct.

<h3>What is polynomial?</h3>

Polynomial is the combination of variables and constants systematically with "n" number of power in ascending or descending order.

\rm a_1x+a_2x^2+a_3x^3+a_4x^4..........a_nx^n

We have a polynomial function:

\rm f(x) =  x^{3}+2x^{2}-5x-6

The function is a cubic function and the graph of the cubic function will be a curve.

As we can see in the graph, f(x) grows larger as x approaches negative infinity. f(x) also becomes closer to infinity as x does.

Thus, the statement (A) As x approaches negative infinity, f(x) approaches infinity. As x approaches infinity, f(x) approaches infinity is correct.
