Factor each completely. 10a² - 9a + 2 ​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Sophie [7]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

a= \frac{2}{5} or \frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Equate the equation to zero

10a^{2}-9a+2=0

10a^{2}-5a-4a+2=0

5a(2a-1)-2(2a-1)=0

Write out the factors

(5a-2)(2a-1)=0

Then equate each factor to zero

5a-2=0 OR 2a-1=0

5a=2  OR  2a=1

a= \frac{2}{5}   OR a= \frac{1}{2}

a=\frac{2}{5} or \frac{1}{2}

According to the latest survey the mean world lifespan is 68.8 years the university of Oregon wants to see if the average life s
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would set up the hypothesis test.

For the null hypothesis,

µ = 68.8

For the alternative hypothesis,

µ ≠ 68.8

This is a two tailed test.

Since the number of samples is small and no population standard deviation is given, the distribution is a student's t.

Since n = 26,

Degrees of freedom, df = n - 1 = 26 - 1 = 25

t = (x - µ)/(s/√n)

Where

x = sample mean = 72.8

µ = population mean = 68.8

s = samples standard deviation = 2.5

t = (72.8 - 68.8)/(2.5/√26) = 8.16

We would determine the p value using the t test calculator. It becomes

p < 0.00001

Assuming a significance level of 0.05, then

Since alpha, 0.05 > than the p value, then we would reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, At a 5% level of significance, the sample data showed significant evidence that the average life span of the residence of Oregon differs from the world average.
