Answer:

(0.1875-0.274) - 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.1875(1-0.1875)}{400} +\frac{0.274(1-0.274)}{500}}=-0.1412  

(0.1875-0.274) + 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.1875(1-0.1875)}{400} +\frac{0.274(1-0.274)}{500}}=-0.0318  

And the upper limit would be -0.0318

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this complete question :A study was recently conducted at a major university to estimate the difference in the proportion of business school graduates who go on to graduate school within five years after graduation and the proportion of non-business school graduates who attend graduate school. A random sample of 400 business school graduates showed that 75 had gone to graduate school while in a random sample of 500 non-business graduates, 137 had gone on to graduate school. Based on a 95 percent confidence level, what is the upper limit of the confidence interval estimate?

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

p_A represent the real population proportion for graduate school  

\hat p_A =\frac{75}{400}=0.1875 represent the estimated proportion for graduate school

n_A=400 is the sample size required for graduate school

p_B represent the real population proportion for non graduate school

\hat p_B =\frac{137}{500}=0.274 represent the estimated proportion for non graduate school

n_B=500 is the sample size required for non graduate school

z represent the critical value for the margin of error  

Solution to the problem

The population proportion have the following distribution  

p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})  

The confidence interval for the difference of two proportions would be given by this formula  

(\hat p_A -\hat p_B) \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p_A(1-\hat p_A)}{n_A} +\frac{\hat p_B (1-\hat p_B)}{n_B}}  

For the 95% confidence interval the value of \alpha=1-0.95=0.05 and \alpha/2=0.025, with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.  

z_{\alpha/2}=1.96  

And replacing into the confidence interval formula we got:  

(0.1875-0.274) - 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.1875(1-0.1875)}{400} +\frac{0.274(1-0.274)}{500}}=-0.1412  

(0.1875-0.274) + 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.1875(1-0.1875)}{400} +\frac{0.274(1-0.274)}{500}}=-0.0318  

And the upper limit would be -0.0318

Using the Factor Theorem, which of the polynomial functions has the zeros 2, radical 3 , and negative radical 3 ? f (x) = x3 – 2
butalik [34]

To solve this question, we use the factor theorem, and using it, the polynomial function is:

f(x) = x^3 - 2x^2 - 3x + 6

------------------------------

The factor theorem means that if k is a root of f(x), f(k) = 0.

Thus, applying the factor theorem for this question, we have to choose the function for which: f(2) = 0, f(\sqrt{3}) = 0, f(-\sqrt{3}) = 0

------------------------------

Function 1:

f(x) = x^3 - 2x^2 - 3x + 6

Testing the values:

f(2) = 2^3 - 2(2)^2 - 3(2) + 6 = 8 - 8 - 6 + 6 = 0

f(\sqrt{3}) = \sqrt{3^3} - 2(\sqrt{3})^2 - 3\sqrt{3} + 6 = \sqrt{3^2\times3} - 6 - 3\sqrt{3} + 6 = 3\sqrt{3} - 3\sqrt{3} = 0

f(-\sqrt{3}) = -\sqrt{3^3} - 2(-\sqrt{3})^2 - 3(-\sqrt{3}) + 6 = -\sqrt{3^2\times3} - 6 + 3\sqrt{3} + 6 = -3\sqrt{3} + 3\sqrt{3} = 0

Thus, since all three conditions are satisfied, f(x) = x^3 - 2x^2 - 3x + 6 is the polynomial function.

Classify this by degree and by number of terms?
sveta [45]
The answer is quintic binomial.

It is quintic because its highest power is 5. Quartic would mean its highest power is 4.

It is a binomial because the two terms are -4x^5 and -6x^3. Terms are separated by + or - signs.
