Answer:

p(x) = ( x +2) (3x - 1) ( x-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the equation for a polynomial with given zeros is

f(x) = a(x-b1) (x-b2)...... where b are the zeros and a is a constant

Since the zeros are x = -2, x = 1/3, and x =3.

p(x) = a( x - -2) (x - 1/3) ( x-3)

p(x) = a( x +2) (x - 1/3) ( x-3)

We can pick the value of a since we are not given a point on the function. Pick a=3

p(x) = 3( x +2) (x - 1/3) ( x-3)

Rewriting the second term

p(x) = ( x +2) (3x - 1) ( x-3)

Answer:

You would win the race

Step-by-step explanation:

You would have to swim for 2 minutes and 40 seconds which is the same as 160 seconds.

The opponent would swim

$19 \times 8.5$

Which is161.5 seconds

This means you would win

If a random sample of size nequals=6 is taken from a population, what is required in order to say that the sampling distributio

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

$\bar X \sim N(\mu , \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})$

In order to satisfy this distribution we need that each observation on this case comes from a normal distribution, because since the sample size is not large enough we can't apply the central limit theorem.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have that the sample size is n =6

The sample man is defined as :

$\bar X = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}$

And we want a normal distribution for the sample mean

$\bar X \sim N(\mu , \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})$

So for this case we need to satisfy the following condition:

$X_i \sim N(\mu , \sigma), i=1,2,...,n$

Because if we find the parameters we got:

$E(\bar X) =\frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^n E(X_i) = \frac{n\mu}{n}=\mu$

$Var(\bar X)= \frac{1}{n^2} \sum_{i=1}^n Var(X_i) = \frac{n\sigma^2}{n^2}= \frac{\sigma^2}{n}$

And the deviation would be:

$Sd (\bar X) = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

And we satisfy the condition:

$\bar X \sim N(\mu , \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})$
