Answer:

2 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

First factor x from the expression

x^2-2x-6x+12=0

x(x-2)-6x + 12=0

Then factor out x-2 from the expression

x(x-2)-6x + 12=0

(x-2)(x-6)=0

When the product of factors equals 0, at least one factor is 0

(x-2)(x-6)=0

x-2=0

x-6-0

And so

X=2

X=6

After a shopping spree at Target, John realized he spent three times more money than his brother Mike. They spent a total of $16

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

John spent around $53

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is 3x=160

Since the "x" is already by itself on one side, divide 160 by 3

160÷3=53.333⇒

Now if that's not the way IT CAN ALSO BE:

30x3+70=160! That means John spent $90

A laboratory scale is known to have a standard deviation (sigma) or 0.001 g in repeated weighings. Scale readings in repeated we

Answer:

99% confidence interval for the given specimen is [3.4125 , 3.4155].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a laboratory scale is known to have a standard deviation (sigma) or 0.001 g in repeated weighing. Scale readings in repeated weighing are Normally distributed with mean equal to the true weight of the specimen.

Three weighing of a specimen on this scale give 3.412, 3.416, and 3.414 g.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for 99% confidence interval for the true mean specimen is given by;

P.Q. = $\frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\bar X$ = sample mean weighing of specimen = $\frac{3.412+3.416+3.414}{3}$ = 3.414 g

$\sigma$ = population standard deviation = 0.001 g

n = sample of specimen = 3

$\mu$ = population mean

<em>Here for constructing 99% confidence interval we have used z statistics because we know about population standard deviation (sigma).</em>

So, 99% confidence interval for the population mean, $\mu$ is ;

P(-2.5758 < N(0,1) < 2.5758) = 0.99 {As the critical value of z at 0.5% level

of significance are -2.5758 & 2.5758}

P(-2.5758 < $\frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < 2.5758) = 0.99

P( $-2.5758 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < ${\bar X - \mu}$ < $2.5758 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ) = 0.99

P( $\bar X-2.5758 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < $\mu$ < $\bar X+2.5758 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ) = 0.99

<u>99% confidence interval for</u> $\mu$ = [ $\bar X-2.5758 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ , $\bar X+2.5758 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ]

= [ $3.414-2.5758 \times {\frac{0.001}{\sqrt{3} } }$ , $3.414+2.5758 \times {\frac{0.001}{\sqrt{3} } }$ ]
