Answer:

  A|  12, 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The polynomial can be factored by looking for factors of 36 that sum to -15. The sum being negative while the product is positive means both factors will be negative. The answer choices suggest ...

  y = (x -12)(x -3)

A quick check shows this product is ...

  y = x^2 -12x -3x +36 = x^2 -15x +36 . . . . as required

The factors are zero when x is either 12 or 3.

The zeros of the equation are 12 and 3.

____

Once you realize the constants in the binomial factors both have a negative sign, you can immediately choose the correct answer (A).

Or, you can use Descartes' rule of signs, which tells you that the two sign changes in the coefficients (+-+) mean there are 2 positive real roots.

galina1969 [7]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

A study on the latest fad diet claimed that the amounts of weight lost by all people on this diet had a mean of 24.6 pounds and a standard deviation of 8.0 pounds.

Step 2 of 2 : If a sampling distribution is created using samples of the amounts of weight lost by 51 people on this diet, what would be the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample means? Round to two decimal places, if necessary.

Answer:

the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample means is 1.12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question,

population mean; μ = 24.6  pounds

Population standard deviation; σ = 8.0 pounds

sample size; n = 51

Now determine the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample means.

standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample means is simply

⇒ population standard deviation / √sample size

= 8.0 / √51

= 8.0 / 7.141428

= 1.120224 ≈ 1.12

Therefore, the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample means is 1.12
