F(3) occurs when x =3. So lets plug 3 into our equation.

$f(3) = -4(3)^2 + 4(3)-4\\f(3) = -4(9) + 12- 4\\f(3) = -36 + 12- 4\\f(3)= -28$

F(3) = -28

I hope this helps! :)

The value of X is: A 11.3 B 8 C 16

diamong [38]

Answer:

x ≈ 11.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the sine ratio in the right triangle

sin45° = $\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$ = $\frac{8}{x}$ ( multiply both sides by x )

x × sin45° = 8 ( divide both sides by sin45° )

x = $\frac{8}{sin45}$ ≈ 11.3

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

1) 80% CI: [3.04; 3.26]gr

d= 0.11

2) n= 28 hummingbirds

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The study variable of this experiment is:

X: the weight of a hummingbird. (gr)

And it has a normal distribution, symbolically: X~N(μ;σ²)

And (I hope I got it correctly) its population standard deviation is σ= 0.33

There was a sample of n= 15 hummingbirds taken, its sample mean X[bar]= 3.15 gr

1) You need to construct an 80% Confidence Interval for the population mean of the hummingbird's weight.

Since the study variable has a normal distribution, you can use either the standard normal distribution or the Student's t distribution. Both are useful to estimate the population mean. Since the population standard variance is known, the best choice is the Standard normal.

Z= X[bar] - μ ~ N(0;1)

σ/√n

The formula for the interval is:

X[bar] ± $Z_{1- \alpha /2}$ * (σ/√n)

$Z_{1- \alpha /2}= Z_{0.90} = 1.28$

3.15 ± 1.28 * (0.33/√15)

[3.04; 3.26]gr

The margin of error (d) of a confidence interval is hal its amplitude (a)

a= Upper bond - Lower bond

d= (Upper bond - Lower bond)/2

d= $\frac{(3.26-3.04)}{2}$ = 0.11

2) You need to calculate a sample size for a 80% Confidence interval for the average weight of the hummingbirds with a margin of error of d= 0.08

As I said before, the margin of error is half the amplitude of the interval, the formula you use to estimate the population mean has the following structure:

"point estamator" ± "margin of error"

Then the margin of error is:

d= $Z_{1- \alpha /2}$ * (σ/√n)

Now what you have to do is rewrite the formula based on the sample size

d= $Z_{1- \alpha /2}$ * (σ/√n)

$\frac{d}{Z_{1- \alpha /2}}$ = σ/√n
