X squared -6x=7 for completing the square

1 answer:

8 0

Take 1/2 of linear coefient (-6), so 1/2 of -6 is -3
square it ( (-3)^2=9)
add that to both sides
$x^2-6x+9=7+9$
$x^2-6x+9=16$
factor perfect square trinomial
$(x-3)^2=16$
sqrt both sides, remember to take positive and negative roots
x-3=+/-4
add 3
x=3+/-4
x=-1 or 7

2. A marketing firm is trying to estimate the proportion of potential car buyers that would consider

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

a. The number of people that should be in the pilot study are 600 people

b. The point estimate is 0.62 $\overline 6$

c. At 95% confidence level the true population proportion of potential car buyers of hybrid vehicle is between the confidence interval (0.588, 0.6654)

d. Two ways to reduce the margin of error are;

1) Reduce the confidence interval

2) Use a larger sample size

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The given parameters for the estimation of sample size is given as follows;

The margin of error for the confidence interval, E = 4% = 0.04

The confidence level = 95%

The sample size formula for a proportion as obtained from an online source is given as follows;

$n = \dfrac{Z^2 \times P \times (1 - P)}{E^2}$

Where, P is the estimated proportions of the desired statistic, therefore, we have for a new study, P = 0.5;

Z = The level of confidence at 95% = 1.96

n + The sample size

Therefore, we have;

$n = \dfrac{1.96^2 \times 0.5 \times (1 - 0.5)}{0.04^2} = 600.25$

Therefore, the number of people that should be in the pilot study in order to meet this goal at 95% confidence level is n = 600 people

b. The point estimate for the population proportion is the sample proportion given as follows;

$\hat p = \dfrac{x}{n}$

Where;

x = The number of the statistic in the sample

n = The sample size

From the question, we have;

The number of potential car buyers, n = 600

The number of respondent in the sample that indicated that they would consider purchasing a hybrid, x = 376

Therefore, the point estimate, for the proportion of potential car buyers that would consider buying a hybrid vehicle, $\hat p$ = 376/600 = 0.62 $\overline 6$

c. The confidence interval for a proportion is given as follows

$CI=\hat{p}\pm z\times \sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}$

Therefore, we get;

$CI=0.62 \overline 6\pm 1.96\times \sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{0.62 \overline 6}\cdot (1-\hat{0.62 \overline 6})}{600}}$

C.I. ≈ 0.6267 ± 0.0387

The 95% confidence interval for the true population proportion of potential buyers of hybrid vehicle, C.I. = (0.588, 0.6654)

d. The margin of error is given by the following formula;

$MOE_\gamma = z_\gamma \times \sqrt{\dfrac{\sigma ^2}{n} }$

Where;

$MOE_\gamma$ = Margin of error at a given level of confidence

$z_\gamma$ = z-score

σ = The standard deviation

n = The sample size

Therefore, the margin error can be reduced by the following two ways;

1) Reducing the confidence interval and therefore, the z-score

2) Increasing the sample size

56% enrolled if a same of 500 is randomly selected what probability 250 will get selected?

dalvyx [7]

I'll get you started:

mean = np = (500)(.56) = ?

standard deviation = √npq = √(500)(.56)(.44) = ?

Note: q = 1 - p

Finish the calculations.

To find z-score:

z = (x - mean)/sd

Note: x = 250

Once you have the z-score, look in a z-table using the score to find your probability. Remember that the question is asking "at least 250" when looking at the table.
