Step 1 :
(23 x 2 - 5) • x 3
Step 2 :
Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares :
Factoring: 8 x 2-5
Theory : A difference of two perfect squares, A2 - B2 can be factored into (A+B) • (A-B)
Proof : (A+B) • (A-B) =
A2 - AB + BA - B2 =
A2 - AB + AB - B2 =
A2 - B2
Answer:
(8 x 2 - 5) • x 3
3,648 (three thousand six hundred fourty eight) pieces of candy!
Answer:
a)

b)

Step-by-step explanation:
We have to build appropriate null and alternate hypothesis for the given scenarios.
a) Population mean, μ = $62,500 per year
The market research wants to find whether the mean household income of mall shoppers is higher than that of the general population.

We would use one-tail(right) test to perform this hypothesis.
b) Population mean, μ = 2.6 hours
The company want to know the average time to respond to trouble calls is different or not.

We would use two-tail test to perform this hypothesis.
