Answer:

two (n = 4, and n = -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve it as follows:

First, we can divide out the common factor of 3 from each side, to get:

n(2n-8) = 8 -2n

Next, we expand, and move all the terms over to the right hand side (so that we have 0 on the LHS - as this is how we will want to solve the quadratic equation):

2n^2 - 8n - 8 +2n = 0

2n^2 - 6n - 8 = 0.

We also see we can further simplify by dividing out the factor of 2, to get:

n^2 -3n -4. = 0

Next, as this is a quadratic, the usual next step is to factorise, to get:

(n-4)(n+1) = 0

So we see that n = 4 and n = -1 are the two solutions.

According to a poll by the Gallup organization in December of 2012, among a random sample of 1,025 U.S. adults, 707 said they we

telo118 [61]

<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

As per given , we have

n= 1025

x=707

$\hat{p}=\dfrac{707}{1025}=0.689756097561\approx0.69$

Critical value for 99% confidence interval : $z_{\alpha/2}=2.576$

Confidence interval : $\hat{p}\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}$

i.e. $0.69\pm (2.576)\sqrt{\dfrac{0.69(1-0.69)}{1025}}$

i.e. $0.69\pm 0.0372125403253$

i.e. $\approx 0.69\pm 0.037$

$=( 0.69- 0.037,\ 0.69+0.037)=(0.653,\ 0.727)$

99% confidence interval for the proportion of all U.S. adults in December of 2012 who were optimistic about their finances in 2013= (0.653, 0.727)

Interpretation : We are 99% confident that the true population of all U.S. adults in December of 2012 who were optimistic about their finances in 2013 lies in interval (0.653, 0.727).

Samantha threw an apple out of a window. The equation -16t^(2)+120=y can be used to represent the apple's height above the groun

exis [7]

Check the picture below, y = 0 when that happens

$\bf -16t^2+120=0\implies 120=16t^2\implies \cfrac{120}{16}=t^2\implies \cfrac{15}{2}=t^2
\\\\\\
\sqrt{\cfrac{15}{2}}=t$

bear in mind the square root would give us a +/- roots, however, since this is seconds, a negative unit would be unfeasible, thus we only used the positive root from it.
