Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If you want to determine the domain and range of this analytically, you first need to factor the numerator and denominator to see if there is a common factor that can be reduced away. If there is, this affects the domain. The domain are the values in the denominator that the function covers as far as the x-values go. If we factor both the numerator and denominator, we get this:
Since there is a common factor in the numerator and the denominator, (x + 3), we can reduce those away. That type of discontinuity is called a removeable discontinuity and creates a hole in the graph at that value of x. The other factor, (x - 4), does not cancel out. This is called a vertical asymptote and affects the domain of the function. Since the denominator of a rational function (or any fraction, for that matter!) can't EVER equal 0, we see that the denominator of this function goes to 0 where x = 4. That means that the function has to split at that x-value. It comes in from the left, from negative infinity and goes down to negative infinity at x = 4. Then the graph picks up again to the right of x = 4 and comes from positive infinity and goes to positive infinity. The domain is:
(-∞, 4) U (4, ∞)
The range is (-∞, ∞)
If you're having trouble following the wording, refer to the graph of the function on your calculator and it should become apparent.
Answer:
The 99% confidence interval for the true mean checking account balance for local customers is ($439.29, $888.99).
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.
The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So
df = 14 - 1 = 13
99% confidence interval
Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 13 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of . So we have T = 3.0123
The margin of error is:
In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.
The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 664.14 - 224.85 = $439.29
The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 664.14 + 224.85 = $888.99.
The 99% confidence interval for the true mean checking account balance for local customers is ($439.29, $888.99).
