Answer: = ( 63.9, 66.7)
Therefore at 90% confidence interval (a,b)= ( 63.9, 66.7)
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 = 65.3
Standard deviation r = 5.2
Number of samples n = 36
Confidence interval = 90%
z(at 90% confidence) = 1.645
Substituting the values we have;
65.3 +/-1.645(5.2/√36)
65.3 +/-1.645(0.86667)
65.3+/- 1.4257
65.3+/- 1.4
= ( 63.9, 66.7)
Therefore at 90% confidence interval (a,b)= ( 63.9, 66.7)
Being that the system is quadratic—with parabola opening downwards—you’re going to need to find the vertex. You can find the x coordinate of the vertex with -b/2a . Then plug in for x to find the y coordinate…
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a parabola in vertex form is
y = a(x - h)² + k
where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier
To obtain this form use the method of completing the square.
Given
f(x) = - 0.6x² + 4.2x + 240 ← factor out - 0.6 from the first 2 terms
= - 0.6(x² - 7x) + 240
To complete the square
add/ subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to x² - 7x
f(x) = - 0.6(x² + 2(- 3.5)x + 12.25 - 12.25 ) + 240
= - 0.6 (x - 3.5)² + 7.35 + 240
= - 0.6(x - 3.5)² + 247.35
with vertex = (3.5, 247.35 )
The maximum value is the y- coordinate of the vertex
Then
f(x) = - 0.6(x - 3.5)² + 247.35 has a maximum value of 247.35
