Answer:
(a) -3/4
(b) -0.75
(c) -0.75
Step-by-step explanation:
It's a bit hard to tell what constitutes an "iteration" when using the bisection method to approximate a polynomial root. For the purpose here, we'll say one iteration consists of ...
- evaluating the function at the midpoint of the bracketing interval
- choosing a smaller bracketing interval
- identifying the x-value known to be closest to the solution
Thus, the result of the iteration consists of a bracketing interval and the choice of one of the interval's ends as the solution approximation.

(a) We observe that the graphs intersect in the interval (-1, 0). For the first iteration, we evaluate f(x)-g(x) at x=-1/2. This tells us the solution is in the interval (-1, -1/2). The x-value closest to the root is x=-1/2.
For the second iteration, we evaluate the function f(x)-g(x) at x=-3/4. This tells us the solution is in the interval (-1, -3/4). The x-value closest to the root is x=-3/4.
For the third iteration, we evaluate the function f(x)-g(x) at x=-7/8. This tells us the solution is in the interval (-7/8, -3/4). The x-value closest to the root is x=-3/4.

(b) The graph tells us the solution is approximately 0.7549. Rounded to 2 decimal places, the solution is approximately 0.75.
__
(c) The above solution found after 3 iterations rounded to 2 decimal places is exactly 0.75.

<em>Comment on bisection iteration</em>
Since you cut the interval containing the root in half with each iteration, you gain approximately one decimal place for each 3 iterations. When the function value is very nearly zero at one of the interval endpoints, it can take many more iterations to achieve a better result.
Here, it takes 4 more iterations before an x-value becomes closer to the solution (x≈-97/128). And it takes one more iteration to move the end of the interval away from -3/4. After these 5 more iterations (8 total), the solution is known to lie in the interval (-97/128, -193/256). The corresponding solution approximation is -193/256. It is still only correct to 2 decimal places.
Answer:
Because z is higher than any given value in the chart we come to the conclusion To reject null hypothesis
Step-by-step explanation:
Sample proportion = p= 531/648 = 0.8194
This is the proportion of men that were hit by lightening
Null hypothesis: H0: p = 0.5
Alternate hypothesis: H1: p ≠ 0.5
Test statistics z = 0.8194-0.5/(√0.5x0.5/648)
= 0.8194-0.5/√0.0003858
= 0.3194/0.019642
= 16.26
Since the z > 1.96 (at 5% significance) we reject the null hypothesis.
Therefore in conclusion we say z is higher than given values in the chart so we reject null hypothesis.
