Answer:

Some texts are missing from the question, I found a possible match, and here it is:

A particular country has total of 45 states. If the areas of 35 states are added and the sum is divided by 35​, the result is 135,600 square kilometres. Determine whether this result is a statistic or a parameter.

Answer:

The result is a statistic because the data involved are samples.

Step-by-step explanation:

A Parameter is a numerical representation of an entire population. That is they are numbers summarizing data for an entire population. In this case, if all the 45 states were measured, the result would have been a parameter.

On the other hand, statistics are numbers that are subsets (representative portions) of an entire population. Since 35 states were chosen out of 45 states, the average area of the 35 states is a statistic and not a parameter.

What is the upper bound of the function f(x)=4x4−2x3+x−5?
inessss [21]

Answer:

(no global maxima found)

Step-by-step explanation:

Find and classify the global extrema of the following function:

f(x) = 4 x^4 - 2 x^3 + x - 5

Hint: | Global extrema of f(x) can occur only at the critical points or the endpoints of the domain.

Find the critical points of f(x):

Compute the critical points of 4 x^4 - 2 x^3 + x - 5

Hint: | To find critical points, find where f'(x) is zero or where f'(x) does not exist. First, find the derivative of 4 x^4 - 2 x^3 + x - 5.

To find all critical points, first compute f'(x):

d/( dx)(4 x^4 - 2 x^3 + x - 5) = 16 x^3 - 6 x^2 + 1:

f'(x) = 16 x^3 - 6 x^2 + 1

Hint: | Find where f'(x) is zero by solving 16 x^3 - 6 x^2 + 1 = 0.

Solving 16 x^3 - 6 x^2 + 1 = 0 yields x≈-0.303504:

x = -0.303504

Hint: | Find where f'(x) = 16 x^3 - 6 x^2 + 1 does not exist.

f'(x) exists everywhere:

16 x^3 - 6 x^2 + 1 exists everywhere

Hint: | Collect results.

The only critical point of 4 x^4 - 2 x^3 + x - 5 is at x = -0.303504:

x = -0.303504

Hint: | Determine the endpoints of the domain of f(x).

The domain of 4 x^4 - 2 x^3 + x - 5 is R:

The endpoints of R are x = -∞ and ∞

Hint: | Evaluate f(x) at the critical points and at the endpoints of the domain, taking limits if necessary.

Evaluate 4 x^4 - 2 x^3 + x - 5 at x = -∞, -0.303504 and ∞:

The open endpoints of the domain are marked in gray

x | f(x)

-∞ | ∞

-0.303504 | -5.21365

∞ | ∞

Hint: | Determine the largest and smallest values that f achieves at these points.

The largest value corresponds to a global maximum, and the smallest value corresponds to a global minimum:

The open endpoints of the domain are marked in gray

x | f(x) | extrema type

-∞ | ∞ | global max

-0.303504 | -5.21365 | global min

∞ | ∞ | global max

Hint: | Finally, remove the endpoints of the domain where f(x) is not defined.

Remove the points x = -∞ and ∞ from the table

These cannot be global extrema, as the value of f(x) here is never achieved:

x | f(x) | extrema type

-0.303504 | -5.21365 | global min

Hint: | Summarize the results.

f(x) = 4 x^4 - 2 x^3 + x - 5 has one global minimum:

Answer: f(x) has a global minimum at x = -0.303504
