Answer

−1 + i times the square root of 7

Explanation

x² + 2x + 8

I will use the complete square method to find the value of x.

x² + 2x + 8

x² + 2x = -8

x² + 2x + (2/2)² = -8 + (2/2)²

x² + 2x + 1 = -7

(x + 1)² = -7

x + 1 = √(-7)

x = √(-7) - 1

= i√7 - 1

= -1 + i√7

−1 + i times the square root of 7

Answer:

The minimum sample size that should be taken is 62.

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

If we want to be 90% confident that the sample mean is within 1 word per minute of the true population mean, what is the minimum sample size that should be taken

This is n when $M = 1, \sigma = 4$ . So

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

$1 = 1.96*\frac{4}{\sqrt{n}}$

$\sqrt{n} = 4*1.96$

$(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (4*1.96)^{2}$

$n = 61.5$

The minimum sample size that should be taken is 62.

sweet [91]

Answer:

35 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The proportion p that remains after y years is ...

p = (1/2)^(y/5.27)

In order for 1/100 to remain (the level decays from 100 times to 1 times), we have ...

.01 = .5^(y/5.27)

log(0.01) = y/5.27·log(0.5) . . . take logs

y = 5.27·log(0.01)/log(0.5) ≈ 35.01 ≈ 35 . . . . years
