A^2+14a-51=0
Add 51 to both sides
a^2+14a-51+51=0+51
a^2+14a=51
add (14/2)^2
a^2+14a+(14/2)^2=100
Solve a+7=+sqrt 100: a=3
Solve a-7 = -sqrt 100: a=-17
a=3 a=-17

Steps if you have ax^2+bx+c=0
1. put vairable on other side (-c from both sides)
2. make sure that leading term is 1 (ax^2+bx+c=0 where a=1)
3. take half of  b and square it

so
a^2+14a-51=0
move c to other side
add 51 to both sides
a^2+14a=51
leading term is 1
take 1/2 of b and square
14/2=7, 7^2=49
add that to both sides
a^2+14a+49=51+49
factor perfect square
(a+7)^2=100
square root both sides
a+7=+/-10

a+7=10
a+7=-10


a+7=10
minus 7
a=3

a+7=-10
subtract 7
a=-17


a=3 or -17

An SRS of ten brands of breakfast cereals is tested for the number of calories per serving. The following data result: 185, 190,
Pepsi [2]

Using the t-distribution, as we have the standard deviation for the sample, it is found that the 95% confidence interval estimate for the mean number of calories for servings of breakfast cereals is (195.3, 215.7).

<h3>What is a t-distribution confidence interval?</h3>

The confidence interval is:

\overline{x} \pm t\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

In which:

  • \overline{x} is the sample mean.
  • t is the critical value.
  • n is the sample size.
  • s is the standard deviation for the sample.

From the sample and the significance level of 0.05, we have that the parameters are given by:

\overline{x} = 205.5, s = 14.2, n = 10, t = 2.2622

Hence:

\overline{x} - t\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 205.5 - 2.2622\frac{14.2}{\sqrt{10}} = 195.3

\overline{x} + t\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 205.5 + 2.2622\frac{14.2}{\sqrt{10}} = 215.7

The 95% confidence interval estimate for the mean number of calories for servings of breakfast cereals is (195.3, 215.7).
