Answer:
The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:
(1)
Or equivalently:

For this case we have the interval given (3.9, 7.7) and we want to find the margin of error. Using the property of symmetry for a confidence interval we can estimate the margin of error with this formula:

Step-by-step explanation:
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".
represent the sample mean for the sample
population mean (variable of interest)
Solution to the problem
The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:
(1)
Or equivalently:

For this case we have the interval given (3.9, 7.7) and we want to find the margin of error. Using the property of symmetry for a confidence interval we can estimate the margin of error with this formula:

The error is when she added 4 to both sides.
Instead, she should divide both sides by -4 to undo the multiplication. Specifically, the multiplication between the -4 term and the (x-2)^2 term.
This is one possible correction of what her steps could look like.

In the third step, I'm dividing both sides by -4. In the sixth step, I'm applying the square root to both sides to undo the squaring operation. Then two steps later, I'm adding 2 to both sides to undo the "-2", which helps fully isolate x.
The only solution is x = 2, so it's the only x intercept. You can verify this answer by plugging x = 2 back into the original equation at the very top. You should end up with y = 0.
Note: The term "root" is another name for "x intercept".

Answer: 3. 5 7/20,
Explanation: I took -3 2/5 and turned it into -17/5 and did the same with 8 3/4 which is 35/4. I gave them both the same denominator so I could add them together and it became -68/20 + 140/20 which equals 107/20
Answer:
(x, y) (2, 7)
Step-by-step explanation:
Choose the correct ordered pair. 2x + 3 = 13
x = 2
Substitute x = 2 into the equation
2(2) + 3
= 4 + 3
= 7
The correct ordered pair is (x, y) (2, 7)
