Answer:

a = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that (x - 2) is a factor of P(x) , then P(2) = 0 , that is

P(2) = 2² - 5(2) + a = 0 , so

4 - 10 + a = 0

- 6 + a = 0 ( add 6 to both sides )

a = 6

The length of needles produced by a machine has standard deviation of 0.04 inches. Assuming that the distribution is normal, how
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

The sample size is  n  = 87

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The standard deviation is  \sigma  =  0.04 \  inches

       The  precision is d =  \pm  0.005 \ inches

        The confidence level is C =98%

Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as  

        n  =  \frac{ Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } ^2*  \alpha^2 }{d^2}

Where  \alpha  is the level of significance which is mathematically evaluated as

        \alpha  =  100 - 98

        \alpha  =  2%

        \alpha  = 0.02

and  Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } is the critical value of \alpha which is obtained from the normal distribution table as  2.326

  substituting values

         n  =  \frac{2.326 ^2*  0.02^2 }{0.005^2}

        n  = 87

Well, to solve, you would subtract 8 from both sides, which means x would end up equaling 32.

X=32
