Answer:

8.2+/-0.25

= ( 7.95, 8.45) years

the 95% confidence interval (a,b) = (7.95, 8.45) years

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval can be defined as a range of values so defined that there is a specified probability that the value of a parameter lies within it.

The confidence interval of a statistical data can be written as.

x+/-zr/√n

Given that;

Mean x = 8.2 years

Standard deviation r = 1.1 years

Number of samples n = 75

Confidence interval = 95%

z value(at 95% confidence) = 1.96

Substituting the values we have;

8.2+/-1.96(1.1/√75)

8.2+/-1.96(0.127017059221)

8.2+/-0.248953436074

8.2+/-0.25

= ( 7.95, 8.45)

Therefore the 95% confidence interval (a,b) = (7.95, 8.45) years

How many solutions are there to this equation 3x(x-4)+5-x=2x-7
stich3 [128]

Answer:

  2 solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

I like to use a graphing calculator to find solutions for equations like these. The two solutions are ...

  • x = 1
  • x = 4

__

To solve this algebraically, it is convenient to subtract 2x-7 from both sides of the equation:

  3x(x -4) +5 -x -(2x -7) = 0

  3x^2 -12x +5 -x -2x +7 = 0 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  3x^2 -15x +12 = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms

  3(x -1)(x -4) = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . factor

The values of x that make these factors zero are x=1 and x=4. These are the solutions to the equation. There are two solutions.

__

<em>Alternate method</em>

Once you get to the quadratic form, you can find the number of solutions without actually finding the solutions. The discriminant is ...

  d = b^2 -4ac . . . . where a, b, c are the coefficients in the form ax^2+bx+c

  d = (-15)^2 -4(3)(12) = 225 -144 = 81

This positive value means the equation has 2 real solutions.
