Answer:

a) P(-t_o < t_7

Using the symmetrical property we can write this like this:

1-2P(t_7

We can solve for the probability like this:

2P(t_7

P(t_7

And we can find the value using the following excel code: "=T.INV(0.05,7)"

So on this case the answer would be t_o =\pm 1.895

b) For this case we can use the complement rule and we got:

1-P(t_7

We can solve for the probability and we got:

P(t_7

And we can use the following excel code to find the value"=T.INV(0.95;7)"

And the answer would be t_o = 1.895

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The t distribution (Student’s t-distribution) is a "probability distribution that is used to estimate population parameters when the sample size is small (n<30) or when the population variance is unknown".

The shape of the t distribution is determined by its degrees of freedom and when the degrees of freedom increase the t distirbution becomes a normal distribution approximately.  

The degrees of freedom represent "the number of independent observations in a set of data. For example if we estimate a mean score from a single sample, the number of independent observations would be equal to the sample size minus one."

Solution to the problem

For this case we know that t \sim t(df=7)

And we want to find:

Part a

P(|t|

We can rewrite the expression using properties for the absolute value like this:

P(-t_o < t_7

Using the symmetrical property we can write this like this:

1-2P(t_7

We can solve for the probability like this:

2P(t_7

P(t_7

And we can find the value using the following excel code: "=T.INV(0.05,7)"

So on this case the answer would be t_o =\pm 1.895

Part b

P(t>t_o) =0.05

For this case we can use the complement rule and we got:

1-P(t_7

We can solve for the probability and we got:

P(t_7

And we can use the following excel code to find the value"=T.INV(0.95;7)"

And the answer would be t_o = 1.895

*order of operation<br> 296-(65•2-32/4
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

174

Step-by-step explanation:

start with the numbers inside the parenthesis! next, multiply (65 x 2) = 130, then divide (32/4) = 8. then, subtract 130-8 to get 127. now move outside the parenthesis and subtract 296-127 = 174!

2x^2-13x-24 factor the polynomial<br><br> Explain please
vovangra [49]

Answer:

(x - 8)(2x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

To factor a polynomial of the form

ax² + bx + c,

follow these steps:

1) Multiply ac together.

2) Find 2 factors of ac that add to b. Call these factors p and q.

3) Break up the middle term of the polynomial into px + qx.

4) Factor by grouping.

Now let's follow the steps above with your problem.

You are given the polynomial

2x² - 13x - 24,

so a = 2, b = -13, and c = -24

1) Find ac.ac is the product 2(-24) = -48

2) Now we need to find 2 factors of -48 that add to b, -13.

I know that 48 = 3 × 16, so if we use -16 and 3 for the two numbers, we have

-16 + 3 = -13

and -16 × 3 = -48.

3) Now we break up the middle term of the polynomial, -13x, into -16x + 3x.

The polynomial is now

2x² - 16x + 3x - 24

4) We factor the polynomial by grouping. To factor by grouping, you factor a common factor out of the first 2 terms and factor out a common factor out of the last two terms.

2x² - 16x + 3x - 24 =

= 2x(x - 8) + 3(x - 8)

We now see the common factor of x - 8, so we factor that out.

= (x - 8)(2x + 3)

Answer: (x - 8)(2x + 3)
