<span>Highest point = 1406.25
Number of seconds = 9.375
We've been given the quadratic equation y = -16t^2 + 300t which describes a parabola. Since a parabola is a symmetric curve, the highest value will have a t value midway between its roots. So using the quadratic formula with A = -16, B = 300, C = 0. We get the roots of t = 0, and t = 18.75. The midpoint will be (0 + 18.75)/2 = 9.375
So let's calculate the height at t = 9.375.
y = -16t^2 + 300t
y = -16(9.375)^2 + 300(9.375)
y = -16(87.890625) + 300(9.375)
y = -1406.25 + 2812.5
y = 1406.25
So the highest point will be 1406.25 after 9.375 seconds.
Let's verify that. I'll use the value of (9.375 + e) for the time and substitute that into the height equation and see what I get.'
y = -16t^2 + 300t
y = -16(9.375 + e)^2 + 300(9.375 + e)
y = -16(87.890625 + 18.75e + e^2) + 300(9.375 + e)
y = -1406.25 - 300e - 16e^2 + 2812.5 + 300e
y = 1406.25 - 16e^2
Notice that the only term with e is -16e^2. Any non-zero value for e will cause that term to be negative and reduce the total value of the equation. Therefore any time value other than 9.375 will result in a lower height of the cannon ball. So 9.375 is the correct time and 1406.25 is the correct height.</span>

Answer
a. True
Step-by-step explanation:
Based on this survey we estimate that about 
of the college students smokes. And a 
confidence interval is ![[15.1\% ; 21.6\%]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B15.1%5C%25%20%3B%2021.6%5C%25%5D)
. So we know that 
our estimative for the smoking rate is in the confidence interval with certainty. We also know the estimative for the smoking rate in the general population is 
. So we can write the two possible hypothesis:
Smoking rate is equal to .
Smoking rate is not equal to .
We will reject the null hypothesis 
if the estimate doesn't fall into the confidence interval for the college students smoking rate.
Since this condition holds we reject the null hypothesis. So with certainty we say that the smoking rate for the general population is different than the smoking rate for the college students.
