Can you explain it and help me out please

Anarel [89]

Answer:

c.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x² - 4x - 3 = 0

$x= \frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac} }{2a} \\\\x= \frac{-(-4)+/-\sqrt{(-4)^{2}-4*2*(-3)} }{2*2} \\\\x= \frac{4+/-\sqrt{16+24} }{4} \\\\x= \frac{4+/-\sqrt{40} }{4} = \frac{4+/-2\sqrt{10} }{4}=\frac{2+/-\sqrt{10} }{2}$

The following results come from two independent random samples taken of two populations.

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

$(a)\ \bar x_1 - \bar x_2 = 2.0$

$(b)\ CI =(1.0542,2.9458)$

$(c)\ CI = (0.8730,2.1270)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$n_1 = 60$ $n_2 = 35$

$\bar x_1 = 13.6$ $\bar x_2 = 11.6$

$\sigma_1 = 2.1$ $\sigma_2 = 3$

Solving (a): Point estimate of difference of mean

This is calculated as: $\bar x_1 - \bar x_2$

$\bar x_1 - \bar x_2 = 13.6 - 11.6$

$\bar x_1 - \bar x_2 = 2.0$

Solving (b): 90% confidence interval

We have:

$c = 90\%$

$c = 0.90$

Confidence level is: $1 - \alpha$

$1 - \alpha = c$

$1 - \alpha = 0.90$

$\alpha = 0.10$

Calculate $z_{\alpha/2}$

$z_{\alpha/2} = z_{0.10/2}$

$z_{\alpha/2} = z_{0.05}$

The z score is:

$z_{\alpha/2} = z_{0.05} =1.645$

The endpoints of the confidence level is:

$(\bar x_1 - \bar x_2) \± z_{\alpha/2} * \sqrt{\frac{\sigma_1^2}{n_1}+\frac{\sigma_2^2}{n_2}}$

$2.0 \± 1.645 * \sqrt{\frac{2.1^2}{60}+\frac{3^2}{35}}$

$2.0 \± 1.645 * \sqrt{\frac{4.41}{60}+\frac{9}{35}}$

$2.0 \± 1.645 * \sqrt{0.0735+0.2571}$

$2.0 \± 1.645 * \sqrt{0.3306}$

$2.0 \± 0.9458$

Split

$(2.0 - 0.9458) \to (2.0 + 0.9458)$

$(1.0542) \to (2.9458)$

Hence, the 90% confidence interval is:

$CI =(1.0542,2.9458)$

Solving (c): 95% confidence interval

We have:

$c = 95\%$

$c = 0.95$

Confidence level is: $1 - \alpha$

$1 - \alpha = c$

$1 - \alpha = 0.95$

$\alpha = 0.05$

Calculate $z_{\alpha/2}$

$z_{\alpha/2} = z_{0.05/2}$

$z_{\alpha/2} = z_{0.025}$

The z score is:

$z_{\alpha/2} = z_{0.025} =1.96$

The endpoints of the confidence level is:

$(\bar x_1 - \bar x_2) \± z_{\alpha/2} * \sqrt{\frac{\sigma_1^2}{n_1}+\frac{\sigma_2^2}{n_2}}$

$2.0 \± 1.96 * \sqrt{\frac{2.1^2}{60}+\frac{3^2}{35}}$

$2.0 \± 1.96* \sqrt{\frac{4.41}{60}+\frac{9}{35}}$

$2.0 \± 1.96 * \sqrt{0.0735+0.2571}$

$2.0 \± 1.96* \sqrt{0.3306}$

$2.0 \± 1.1270$

Split

$(2.0 - 1.1270) \to (2.0 + 1.1270)$

$(0.8730) \to (2.1270)$

Hence, the 95% confidence interval is:

$CI = (0.8730,2.1270)$

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (2, –3) and (–2, 5)? 2 1/2 -1/2 -2

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer: The slope is -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

(2,-3)

(-2,5)

Using the two given points, you can find the slope by finding the difference in the y coordinates and diving it by the difference in the x coordinates.

y coordinates: -3 - 5= -8

x coordinates; 2-(-2) = 4

Slope: -8/ 4 = -2
