The answer to the question is a
-x² + 8x - 6 = 0
x = <u>-(8) +/- √((8)² - 4(-1)(-6))</u>
2(-1)
x = <u>-8 +/- √(64 - 20)</u>
-2
x = <u>-8 +/- √(44)
</u> -2<u>
</u>x = <u>-8 +/- 2√(11)
</u> -2
x = <u>-8 + 2√(11)</u> x = <u>-8 - 2√(11)
</u> -2 -2<u>
</u>x = 4 - √(11) x = -8 + √(11)
Answer:
The 95% confidence interval for the true mean cholesterol content, μ, of all such eggs is between 226.01 and 233.99 milligrams.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that to find our level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:
Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of .
So it is z with a pvalue of , so
Now, find M as such
In which is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.
The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 230 - 3.99 = 226.01
The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 230 + 3.99 = 233.99.
The 95% confidence interval for the true mean cholesterol content, μ, of all such eggs is between 226.01 and 233.99 milligrams.
Hello my name is Jeff (sorry)
Answer:
b=4
Step-by-step explanation:
So, we have the function . We need to find b such that the average rate of change or the slope is -1/8 between the intervel [2, b]. First, let's find f(2).
f(2) = 1/(2) = 1/2
So, we have the point (2, 1/2)
At point b, f(b) = 1/b.
Let's plug this into the slope formula:
Now, we just need to solve for b. First, let's multiply both the numerator and denominator by b (to get rid of the annoying fraction in the numerator).
Now, cross multiply.
Solve for b. Factor using the numbers -4 and -2.
Thus, b=4 or b=2.
However, b=2 is not a possible solution since the interval [2,2] means nothing. Thus, b=4.
