The correct answer for this question is this one: x^2 - sqrt(7) ^ 2

So, how were we able to get that answer.
The question asked us to have an equation of difference of squares.
That means, it is in the form of
a^2 - b^2

Since, the given equation has
x^2 - 7, so we need to have something that is equal to seven

7 = sqrt(7)^2

Every difference of squares problem can be factored as follows: a2 – b2 = (a + b)(a – b) or (a – b)(a + b). So, all you need to do to factor these types of problems is to determine what numbers squares will produce the desired results.

The speeds of vehicles traveling on a highway are normally distributed with an unkown population mean and standard deviation. A

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

The 90% confidence interval would be given by (60.09;69.91)

We are 90% confident that the true mean for the speeds of vehicles traveling on a highway is between 60.09 and 69.91 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 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".

$\bar X =65$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

s=9 represent the sample standard deviation

n=11 represent the sample size

2) Confidence interval

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

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

In order to calculate the critical value $t_{\alpha/2}$ we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

$df=n-1=11-1=10$

Since the Confidence is 0.90 or 90%, the value of $\alpha=0.1$ and $\alpha/2 =0.05$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.05,10)".And we see that $t_{\alpha/2}=1.81$
