Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$g(x)=\dfrac{x-2}{x^2+4x+3}\\\\vertical\ asymptote:\\\\x^2+4x+3=0\\x^2+x+3x+3=0\\x(x+1)+3(x+1)=0\\(x+1)(x+3)=0\iff x+1=0\ \vee\ x+3=0\\\\\boxed{x=-1\ \vee\ x=-3}\\\\horizontal\ asymptote:\\\\\lim\limits_{x\to\pm\infty}\dfrac{x-2}{x^2+4x+3}=\lim\limits_{x\to\pm\infty}\dfrac{x^2\left(\frac{1}{x}-\frac{2}{x^2}\right)}{x^2\left(1+\frac{4}{x}+\frac{3}{x^2}\right)}=\lim\limits_{x\to\pm\infty}\dfrac{\frac{1}{x}-\frac{2}{x^2}}{1+\frac{4}{x}+\frac{3}{x^2}}=\dfrac{0}{1}=0\\\\\boxed{y=0}$

A survey of 76 commercial airline flights of under 2 hours resulted in a sample average late time for a flight of 2.55 minutes.

Answer:

The best point of estimate for the true mean is:

$\hat \mu = \bar X = 2.55$

$2.55-1.96\frac{12}{\sqrt{76}}=-0.148$

$2.55+1.96\frac{12}{\sqrt{76}}=5.248$

Since the time can't be negative a good approximation for the confidence interval would be (0,5.248) minutes. The interval are tellling to us that at 95% of confidence the average late time is lower than 5.248 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

$\bar X=2.55$ represent the sample mean for the late time for a flight

$\mu$ population mean

$\sigma=12$ represent the population deviation

n=76 represent the sample size

Confidence interval

The best point of estimate for the true mean is:

$\hat \mu = \bar X = 2.55$

The confidence interval for the true mean is given by:

$\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

The Confidence level given is 0.95 or 95%, th significance would be $\alpha=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ . If we look in the normal distribution a quantile that accumulates 0.025 of the area on each tail we got $z_{\alpha/2}=1.96$
