Answer:

The factored form of this is (x - 7)(x -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to factor quadratic equaitons with a 1 as the first coefficient, we look for two numbers that multiply to the last number (28), but add up to the middle number (-11). To do this, we often list the factors of the last number.

Factors of 28

1, 28

-1, -28

2, 14

-2, -14

4, 7

-4, -7

The numbers -4 and -7 satisfy this requirement and are therefore the numbers we want. Now we stick them into parenthesis along with x terms in the front like this:

(x - 7)(x -4)

And that is the fully factored form.

Suppose scores on exams in statistics are normally distributed with an unknown population mean and a population standard deviati

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

( 67.18, 68.82)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $\mu$ be the true (population) mean of statistics exam scores. We have a large random sample of n = 36 scores with a sample mean (sample mean score) of $\bar{x} = 68$ . We know that the population standard deviation is $\sigma = 3$ . A pivotal quantity is $(\bar{x}-\mu)/(3/\sqrt{36}) = (\bar{x}-\mu)/(3/6) = (68-\mu)/(1/2)$ which is approximately normally distributed and $P(-z_{0.05}\leq(68-\mu)/(1/2)\leq z_{0.05}) = 0.90$ where $-z_{0.05} =-1.6449$ , and so, $P(-1.6449\leq(68-\mu)/(1/2)\leq 1.6449) = 0.90$ . Therefore the 90% confidence interval is (68-(1/2)(1.6449), 68+(1/2)(1.6449)), i.e., ( 67.18, 68.82)
