If -3+5i is a solution, then by the conjugate root theorem, -3-5i is also a solution. We find the polynomial by multiplying together the factors. If x = -4, then x + 4 is the factor. If x = -3+5i, then (x-(-3+5i)) is a factor, and so is (x-(-3-5i)). Simplifying those down gives us as the first factor as (x+3-5i) and the second as (x+3+5i). We can FOIL those 2 together to get their product, and then FOIL in x+4. FOILing the 2 complex factors together gives us . If we combine like terms and cross out things that cancel it's much easier than what it looks like there! It simplifies down to
. Since i^2 = -1, it simplifies further to
and finally, to
. Now we will FOIL in x+4.
. Our final simplified third degree polynomial is
Answer:
The 99% two-sided confidence interval for the average sugar packet weight is between 0.882 kg and 1.224 kg.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are in posession of the sample's standard deviation, so we use the student's t-distribution to find the confidence interval.
The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So
df = 16 - 1 = 15
99% confidence interval
Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 35 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of ). So we have T = 2.9467
The margin of error is:
M = T*s = 2.9467*0.058 = 0.171
In which s is the standard deviation of the sample.
The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 1.053 - 0.171 = 0.882kg
The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 1.053 + 0.171 = 1.224 kg.
The 99% two-sided confidence interval for the average sugar packet weight is between 0.882 kg and 1.224 kg.
