Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

x + 9 and (x + ( i - 7)) are factors

Discussion:

If f(x) has roots -9 and 7-i then

f(x) = g(x)(x - (-9)) (x - (7-i)) ( g(x) is a polynomial of degree less than f(x))

That is, x + 9 and (x + ( i - 7)) are factors of f(x)

BTW: if the coefficients of f(x) are real (not stated in the Question) then the conjugate of 7-i, i.e. 7 + i, is also be a root.

Thank you,

MrB

A consumer advocacy group wants to determine whether there is a difference between the proportions of the two leading automobile

podryga [215]

Answer:

The answer is "0.3206".

Step-by-step explanation:

$H_0: p_1 = p_2\\\\H_a: p_1 \neq p_2\\\\\hat{p_1} = \frac{X_1}{N_1} = \frac{53}{400} = 0.1325\\\\\hat{p_1}= \frac{X_2}{N_2} = \frac{78}{500}= 0.156\\\\\hat{p} = \frac{(X_1 + X_2)}{(N_1 + N_2)} = \frac{(53+78)}{(400+500)} = 0.1456$

Testing statistic:

$z = \frac{(\hat{p_1}- \hat{p_2})}{\sqrt{(\hat{p} \times (1-\hat{p}) \times (\frac{1}{N_1} + \frac{1}{N_2}))}}$

$=\frac{(0.1325-0.156)}{\sqrt{(0.1456\times (1-0.1456)\times (\frac{1}{400} + \frac{1}{500}))}}\\\\ = -0.99$

Calculating the P-value Approach

$\text{P-value}= 0.3206$

Between 2000 and 2010, the percentage of fatal automobile accidents due to speeding decreased by 34% to 16%. What percentage of

docker41 [41]

Answer: 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

In 2010 the percentage of fatal accidents was 16%.

This is 34% less than it was in 2000 because the text says that the 2010 percentage was 16% after being reduced by 34% from 2010.

The percentage of fatal accidents in 2000 is therefore:

= 2010 fatal percentage + Percentage reduced from 2000

= 16% + 34%

= 50%
