Answer:

a = 6 or 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The "a", "b", and "c" of the quadratic formula are the coefficients of a², a, and the constant term in the given equation:

... a = 2, b = -30, c = 108

Then the quadratic formula tells you the solutions are ...

... (-b ± √(b² -4ac))/(2a)

... = (-(-30) ± √((-30)² -4(2)(108)))/(2(2))

... = (30 ± √(900 -864))/4

... = (30 ± √36)/4

... = (30 ± 6)/4 = {24, 36}/4

... = {6, 9}

_____

The <em>a</em> variable should not be confused with the "a" that is used to name the coefficient of the square of the variable in the quadratic formula. If it is too confusing, rewrite one or the other. For example, you could write ...

... The solution to pa² +qa +r = 0 is ... a = (-q ± √(q²-4pr))/(2p)

where p=2, q=-30, r=108 in the given equation.

An insurance company states that it settles 85% of all life insurance claims within 30 days. A consumer group asks the state ins
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Using the z-distribution, it is found that since the p-value of the test is less than 0.05, we reject the null hypothesis and find that there is enough evidence to conclude that the true proportion of all life insurance claims made to this company that are settled within 30 days is less than 85%.

<h3>What are the hypothesis tested?</h3>

At the null hypothesis, it is tested if there is not enough evidence that the proportion is below 85%, that is:

H_0: p \geq 0.85

At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if there is enough evidence that the proportion is below 85%, that is:

H_0: p < 0.85

<h3>What is the test statistic?</h3>

The test statistic is given by:

z = \frac{\overline{p} - p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}}

In which:

  • \overline{p} is the sample proportion.
  • p is the proportion tested at the null hypothesis.
  • n is the sample size.

For this problem, the parameters are:

p = 0.85, n = 250, \overline{p} = \frac{203}{250} = 0.812

Hence the test statistic is:

z = \frac{\overline{p} - p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}}

z = \frac{0.812 - 0.85}{\sqrt{\frac{0.85(0.15)}{250}}}

z = -1.68

<h3>What is the p-value and the conclusion</h3>

Using a z-distribution calculator, with a left-tailed test, as we are testing if the proportion is less than a value, and z = -1.68, the p-value is of 0.0465.

Since the p-value of the test is less than 0.05, we reject the null hypothesis and find that there is enough evidence to conclude that the true proportion of all life insurance claims made to this company that are settled within 30 days is less than 85%.

The question in Englih is
<span>From a cardboard sheet 35 cm long and 20 cm wide, Masha cut out four squares of 1 dm2 each. Find the area of ​​the cardboard residue. Answer the question in dm2
</span>
Step 1
<span>convert cm to dm
</span>we know that
1 cm is---------------> 0.10 dm
then
35 cm--------------> 3.5 dm
20 cm--------------> 2 dm

Step 2
find the area of ​​the cardboard
Area=3.5*2=7 dm²

Step 3
find the area of ​​the cardboard residue
Area=7-4*1=3 dm²

the answer is 3 dm²


<span>the answer in Russian
</span>

Шаг 1
преобразовать cm в дм
мы знаем это
1 cm ---------------> 0.10 дм
тогда
35 cm--------------> 3.5 дм
20 cm--------------> 2 дм

Шаг 2
найти область картона
Площадь=3.5*2=7 дм²

Шаг 3
<span>найти область остатка картона
</span>Площадь=7-4*1=3 дм²
ответ 3 дм²
