Answer:

m < 49/12

Step-by-step explanation:

The portion of the quadratic formula under the square root sign is the discriminant.

If the discriminant is > 0 then there are two real roots.

b² -4ac > 0

-----------------------------

7² - 4(3)m > 0

49 - 12m > 0

Subtract 49 from both sides

-12m > -49

Divide both sides by -12

(when multiplying or dividing by a negative the inequality must be reversed)

m < 49/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide by -9 to eliminate the -9 on -9y but remember if you divide or multiply by a negative you will need to switch/turn-around the sign

A sample of 16 small bags of the same brand of candies was selected. Assume that the population distribution of bag weights is n

Olegator [25]

Answer:

i) $2 - 1.64 \frac{0.1}{\sqrt{16}}= 1.959$

$2 + 1.64 \frac{0.1}{\sqrt{16}}= 2.041$

So then the 90% confidence interval is given by (1.959, 2.041)

ii) Figure attached

iii) $ME= 1.64 *\frac{0.1}{\sqrt{16}}= 0.041$

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The confidence interval is given by this formula:

$\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2} \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (1)

And for a 90% of confidence the significance is given by $\alpha=1-0.9=0.1$ , and $\frac{\alpha}{2}=0.05$ . Since we know the population standard deviation we can calculate the critical value $z_{0.05}= \pm 1.64$
