Answer:

The quadratic x2 − 5x + 6 factors as (x − 2)(x − 3). Hence the equation x2 − 5x + 6 = 0

has solutions x = 2 and x = 3.

Similarly we can factor the cubic x3 − 6x2 + 11x − 6 as (x − 1)(x − 2)(x − 3), which enables us to show that the solutions of x3 − 6x2 + 11x − 6 = 0 are x = 1, x = 2 or x = 3. In this module we will see how to arrive at this factorisation.

Polynomials in many respects behave like whole numbers or the integers. We can add, subtract and multiply two or more polynomials together to obtain another polynomial. Just as we can divide one whole number by another, producing a quotient and remainder, we can divide one polynomial by another and obtain a quotient and remainder, which are also polynomials.

A quadratic equation of the form ax2 + bx + c has either 0, 1 or 2 solutions, depending on whether the discriminant is negative, zero or positive. The number of solutions of the this equation assisted us in drawing the graph of the quadratic function y = ax2 + bx + c. Similarly, information about the roots of a polynomial equation enables us to give a rough sketch of the corresponding polynomial function.

As well as being intrinsically interesting objects, polynomials have important applications in the real world. One such application to error-correcting codes is discussed in the Appendix to this module.

A random sample of 25 ACME employees showed the average number of vacation days taken during the year is 18.3 days with a standa

Answer:

a) Null hypothesis: $\mu \leq 15$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu > 15$

b) $df=n-1=25-1=24$

For this case the p value is given $p_v = 0.0392$

If we compare the p value and the significance level given $\alpha=0.05$ we see that $p_v$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, so we can conclude that the true mean is higher than 15 at 5% of signficance.

c) Type I error, also known as a “false positive” is the error of rejecting a null hypothesis when it is actually true. Can be interpreted as the error of no reject an alternative hypothesis when the results can be attributed not to the reality.

So for this case a type I of error would be reject the hypothesis that the true mean is less or equal than 15 and is actually true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

$\bar X=18.3$ represent the sample mean

$s=3.72$ represent the sample standard deviation

$n=25$ sample size

$\mu_o =15$ represent the value that we want to test

$\alpha=0.05$ represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)

Part a: State the null and alternative hypotheses.

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean for vacation days is higher than 15, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu \leq 15$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu > 15$

If we analyze the size for the sample is < 30 and we don't know the population deviation so is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:

$t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (1)

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".

Part b: P-value and conclusion

The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:

$df=n-1=25-1=24$

For this case the p value is given $p_v = 0.0392$

Conclusion

Part c

Type I error, also known as a “false positive” is the error of rejecting a null hypothesis when it is actually true. Can be interpreted as the error of no reject an alternative hypothesis when the results can be attributed not to the reality.

So for this case a type I of error would be reject the hypothesis that the true mean is less or equal than 15 and is actually true.

Ummm What? soooo what are you looking for? if N is 8 that means C is larger than four. if you want an equation then here you go.
