Using the simple random sample of weights of women from a data set, we obtain these sample statistics: nequals45 and x overbar

Tomtit [17]

Answer: (141.1, 156.48)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sample statistics : $n=45$

$\overline{x}=148.79\text{ lb}$

$\sigma=31.37\text{ lb}$

a) We know that the best point estimate of the population mean is the sample mean.

Therefore, the best point estimate of the mean weight of all women = $\mu=148.79\text{ lb}$

b) The confidence interval for the population mean is given by :-

$\mu\ \pm E$ , where E is the margin of error.

Formula for Margin of error :-

$z_{\alpha/2}\times\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

Given : Significance level : $\alpha=1-0.90=0.1$

Critical value : $z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.05}=\pm1.645$

Margin of error : $E=1.645\times\dfrac{31.37}{\sqrt{45}}\approx 7.69$

Now, the 90% confidence interval for the population mean will be :-

$148.79\ \pm\ 7.69 =(148.79-7.69\ ,\ 148.79+7.69)=(141.1,\ 156.48)$

Hence, the 90% confidence interval estimate of the mean weight of all women= (141.1, 156.48)

Solve x4 – 17x2 + 16 = 0.<br> Let u =<br> Select all of the zeroes of the function. i i

Soloha48 [4]

$Solve \ x^4 - 17x^2 + 16 = 0$

To solve this equation , we need to write it in quadratic form

$ax^2+bx+c=0$

To get the equation in quadratic form we replace x^2 with u

$x^2 = u$

$x^4 - 17x^2 + 16 = 0$ can be written as

$(x^2)^2 - 17x^2 + 16 = 0$ , Replace u for x^2

So equation becomes

$u^2 - 17u + 16 = 0$

Now we factor the left hand side

-16 and -1 are the two factors whose product is +16 and sum is -17

(u-16) (u-1) = 0

u -16 = 0 so u=16

u-1 =0 so u=1

WE assume u = x^2, Now we replace u with x^2

$u = 16 so \ it \ becomes \ x^2 =16$

Now take square root on both sides , x= +4 and x=-4

$u = 1 so \ it \ becomes \ x^2 =1$

Now take square root on both sides , x= +1 and x=-1

So zeros of the function are -4, -1, 1, 4
