An advertisement for a diet program described a study performed on 70 obese adults. Each person in the study was weighed before

beginning the diet and then 5 weeks after starting the diet. The difference was recorded–a positive value indicates a person lost weight on the diet while a negative value indicates the person gained weight while on the diet. The advertisement gave a​ 95% confidence interval for the average weight change while on the​ diet: ​(−​1,5) lbs. The advertisement says that this shows the diet works at reducing weight for obese adults since more people lost weight than gained weight. What conclusion can be made about the weight loss​ program?

Answer:

The advertisement interpretation isn't correct. Because 0 is in the​ interval, there is no evidence to indicate that the average weight loss is more than 0 for obese adults.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a confidence interval of (-1, 5) ; with a confidence interval which contains 0 as part of it's interval value, we fail to reject the Null, this means that there isnt enough evidence to support the claim that diet works at reducing weight for obese adult. Since the confidence interval obtained contains 0.

X2 +<br><br> x + 36<br> Help me lol
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

x²+12x+36 =0

Step-by-step explanation:

Hii, so I'm assuming your equation is equal to 0-->

x²+_x+36 =0

this could go many ways..

x²+12x+36 =0

which factor to (x+6)(x+6)

x²+15x+36 =0

which factor to (x+12)(x+3)

x²+13x+36 =0

which factor to (x+9)(x+4)

If I had to choose a answer.. I would go with the 1st option x²+12x+36 =0

Hope this helps, if there was more to this question, leave a comment and I can come back and help you ;)

Simplify<br> (4x² – 2x + 8) - (x² + 3x - 2)
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

3x² – 5x + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

(4x² – 2x + 8) - (x² + 3x - 2) =

Drop the first set of parentheses because it is unnecessary.

= 4x² – 2x + 8 - (x² + 3x - 2)

To get rid of the second set of parentheses, change every sign inside.

= 4x² – 2x + 8 - x² - 3x + 2

Now, combine like terms.

= 3x² – 5x + 10
