Answer: the equation is
4x^2 + 4x - 12
Step-by-step explanation:
A quadratic equation is an equation in which the highest power of the unknown is 2.
The general form of a quadratic equation is expressed as
ax^2 + bx + c
Where
a is the leading coefficient
c is a constant
Assuming we want to write the quadratic equation in x, from the information given, the roots which are given are -2 and 1 and the leading coefficient is 4.
Therefore, the linear factors of the quadratic equation will be (x+2) and (x-1)
the equation becomes
(x+2)(x-1)
= x^2 - x +2x - 3
= x^2 + x - 3
Given a leading coefficient of 4, we will multiply the quadratic expression by 4. It becomes
4(x^2 + x - 3)
= 4x^2 + 4x - 12
Final answer:
The quadratic equation with roots -2 and 1 and a leading coefficient of 4 is 4x^2 - 12x + 8 = 0.
Explanation:
To write a quadratic equation with roots -2 and 1 and a leading coefficient of 4, we need to use the fact that if α and β are roots of a quadratic equation, then the equation can be expressed in the form:
a(x - α)(x - β) = 0
Here, α is -2 and β is 1, and the leading coefficient, a, is 4. Therefore, we can write:
4(x + 2)(x - 1) = 0
Multiplying it out, we have:
4(x2 - 1x - 2x + 2) = 0
Combining like terms, we get:
4x2 - 12x + 8 = 0, which is the desired quadratic equation.
How much money do winners go home with from the television quiz show Jeopardy? To determine an answer, a random sample of winners was drawn and money won by those winners is listed below. Construct a 95% confidence interval to estimate the mean winnings for all players on Jeopardy.$26,650 $6,060 $52,820 $8,490 $13,660$25,840 $49,840 $23,790 $51,480 $18,960$990 $11,450 $41,810 $21,060 $7,860
Answer:
The 95% confidence interval would be given by (14444.04;33657.30)
Step-by-step explanation:
Previous concepts
A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".
The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.
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".
Data: $26,650 $6,060 $52,820 $8,490 $13,660$25,840 $49,840 $23,790 $51,480 $18,960$990 $11,450 $41,810 $21,060 $7,860
We can calculate the mean and the deviation from these data with the following formulas:
[tex]\bar X= \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n x_i}{n}[/tex]
[tex]s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}[/tex]
[tex]\bar X=24050.67[/tex] represent the sample mean for the sample
[tex]\mu[/tex] population mean (variable of interest)
s=17386.13 represent the sample standard deviation
n=15 represent the sample size
The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:
[tex]\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex] (1)
In order to calculate the critical value [tex]t_{\alpha/2}[/tex] we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:
[tex]df=n-1=15-1=14[/tex]
Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of [tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex] and [tex]\alpha/2 =0.025[/tex], and we can use excel, a calculator or a tabel to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.025,14)".And we see that [tex]t_{\alpha/2}=2.14[/tex]
Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):
[tex]24050.67-2.14\frac{17386.13}{\sqrt{15}}=14444.04[/tex]
[tex]24050.67+2.14\frac{17386.13}{\sqrt{15}}=33657.30[/tex]
So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (14444.04;33657.30)
In a random sample of 8 people, the mean commute time to work was 33.5 minutes and the standard deviation was 7.2 minutes. A 95% confidence interval using the t-distribution was calculated to be (27.5 comma 39.5 ). After researching commute times to work, it was found that the population standard deviation is 9.5 minutes. Find the margin of error and construct a 95% confidence interval using the standard normal distribution with the appropriate calculations for a standard deviation that is known. Compare the results.
Answer: Margin of error = 6.58
Confidence interval = (26.91, 40.08)
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Sample size n = 8
Sample mean = 33.5 minutes
Population standard deviation = 9.5 minutes
At 95% confidence interval,
α = 0.05
t = 1.96
So, Margin of error is given by
[tex]t\times \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\=1.96\times \dfrac{9.5}{\sqrt{8}}\\\\=6.58[/tex]
Confidence interval would be
Lower limit:
[tex]\bar{x}-6.58\\\\=33.5-6.58\\\\=26.91[/tex]
Upper limit:
[tex]\bar{x}+6.58\\\\=33.5+6.58\\\\=40.08[/tex]
Hence, the interval would be (26.91, 40.08)
But at standard deviation 7.2 minutes, the confidence interval was (27.5, 39.5)
Confidence interval using the standard normal distribution is wider than the confidence interval using t distribution.
The information regarding the statistics shows that the margin of error is 6.58.
How to calculate the margin of errorFrom the information given, the following can be deduced:
Sample size = 8Standard deviation of population = 9.5Sample mean = 33.5Therefore, the margin of error will be:
= 1.96 × 9.5/✓8
= 6.58
Also, the lower limit will be:
= 33.5 - 6.58
= 26.91
The upper limit will be:
= 33.5 + 6.58
= 40.08
Therefore, the interval will be (26.91, 40.08)
When the standard deviation is 7.2 minutes, the confidence interval is (27.5, 39.5).

sample of 60 account balances of a credit company showed an average balance of $1,165 and a standard deviation of $125. You want to determine if the mean of all account balances is significantly greater than $1,150. Assume the population of account balances is normally distributed. Compute the p-value for this test.
Answer:
z=0.930
[tex]p_v =P(z>0.930)=1-P(z<0.930)=1-0.824=0.176[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Data given and notation
[tex]\bar X=1165[/tex] represent the mean for the account balances of a credit company
[tex]s=125[/tex] represent the population standard deviation for the sample
[tex]n=60[/tex] sample size
[tex]\mu_o =1150[/tex] represent the value that we want to test
[tex]\alpha[/tex] represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.
z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)
[tex]p_v[/tex] represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)
2) State the null and alternative hypotheses.
We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to determine if the mean for account balances of a credit company is greater than 1150, the system of hypothesis would be:
Null hypothesis:[tex]\mu \leq 1150[/tex]
Alternative hypothesis:[tex]\mu > 1150[/tex]
We don't know the population deviation, but the problem says the the distribution for the random variable is normal, so for this case we can use the z test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:
[tex]z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex] (1)
z-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".
3) Calculate the statistic
We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:
[tex]z=\frac{1165-1150}{\frac{125}{\sqrt{60}}}=0.930[/tex]
4) Calculate the P-value
Since is a one-side upper test the p value would be:
[tex]p_v =P(z>0.930)=1-P(z<0.930)=1-0.824=0.176[/tex]
In Excel we can use the following formula to find the p value "=1-NORM.DIST(0.93,0,1,TRUE)"
5) Conclusion
If we compare the p value with a significance level for example [tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex] we see that [tex]p_v>\alpha[/tex] so we can conclude that we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, so there is not enough evidence to conclude that the mean for the balances of a credit company are significantly higher than $1150 at 0.05 of signficance.

c) 0.6116 or 61.16%
d) 0.7667 minutes
e) 0.8667 minutes
f) 0.1 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
a)
If f(x) = 0.85-0.35x (0<x<2) is the PDF and X is the random variable that measures the time it takes for a trainee to complete the task, the probability a trainee will complete the task in less than 1.31 minutes is P(X<1.31)

A buoy floating in the sea is bobbing in simple harmonic motion with period 2 seconds and amplitude 8 in. Its displacement d from sea level at time t=0 seconds is 0 in, and initially it moves downward. (Note that downward is the negative direction.) Give the equation modeling the displacement d as a function of time t. d= ク
Answer:
The equation of the displacement [tex]d[/tex] as a function of time [tex]t[/tex] is :
[tex]d(t)=8sin(\pi t+\pi )[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Generally , A simple harmonic wave is a sinusoidal function that is it can be expressed in simple [tex]sin[/tex] or [tex]cos[/tex] terms.
Thus,
[tex]d(t) = Asin(wt+c)[/tex]
is the general form of displacement of a SHM.
where,
[tex]d(t)[/tex] is the displacement with respect to the mean position at any time [tex]t[/tex][tex]A[/tex] is amplitude [tex]w[/tex] is the natural frequency of oscillation ([tex]rads^{-1}[/tex])[tex]c[/tex] is the phase angle which indicates the initial position of the object in SHM ([tex]rad[/tex])given,
Time period ([tex]T[/tex]) = [tex]2s[/tex][tex]A=8[/tex]The natural frequency ([tex]w[/tex]) and time period ([tex]T[/tex]) is :[tex]w=\frac{2\pi} {T}[/tex]
∴
[tex]w[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2\pi }{2} = \pi[/tex] [tex]rads^{-1}[/tex]
∴
the equation :
⇒[tex]d(t)=8sin(\pi t+c)[/tex] ------1
since [tex]d=0[/tex] when [tex]t=o[/tex] ,
⇒[tex]0=8sinc\\c=n\pi[/tex] ------2
where n is an integer ;
⇒since the bouy immediately moves in the negative direction , [tex]x[/tex] must be negative or c must be an odd multiple of [tex]\pi[/tex].
⇒ [tex]d(t) = 8sin(\pi t+(2k+1)\pi )[/tex] ------3
where k is also an integer ;
the least value of [tex]k=0[/tex];
thus ,
the equation is :
[tex]d(t)=8sin(\pi t+\pi )[/tex]
The equation for the displacement d as a function of time t for the buoy is d=-8 cos(πt), as this corresponds to the simple harmonic motion of a system starting at equilibrium and moving downwards.
Explanation:The motion described by the buoy is that of a simple harmonic oscillator. The displacement (d) at any given time (t), especially for a system initiating motion from the equilibrium and moving downwards, can be given by the equation of a cosine function. Therefore, the equation would be d= - A cos(2πt/T), where A is the amplitude and T is the period. Given the amplitude (A) of 8 in and the period (T) of 2 sec, the equation modeling the displacement d as a function of time t for this buoy can be given by: d = -8 cos(πt).

A random variable x has a Normal distribution with an unknown mean and a standard deviation of 12. Suppose that we take a random sample of size n = 36 n=36 and find a sample mean of ¯ x = 98 x¯=98 . What is a 95% confidence interval for the mean of x ?
Answer: (94.08, 101.92)
Step-by-step explanation:
The confidence interval for unknown population mean[tex](\mu)[/tex] is given by :-
[tex]\overline{x}\pm z^*\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
, where [tex]\overline{x}[/tex] = Sample mean
[tex]\sigma[/tex] = Population standard deviation
z* = Critical z-value.
Given : A random variable x has a Normal distribution with an unknown mean and a standard deviation of 12.
[tex]\sigma= 12[/tex]
[tex]\overline{x}=98[/tex]
n= 36
Confidence interval = 95%
We know that the critical value for 95% Confidence interval : z*=1.96
Then, the 95% confidence interval for the mean of x will be :-
[tex]98\pm (1.96)\dfrac{12}{\sqrt{36}}[/tex]
[tex]=98\pm (1.96)\dfrac{12}{6}[/tex]
[tex]=98\pm (1.96)(2)[/tex]
[tex]=98\pm 3.92=(98-3.92,\ 98+3.92)\\\\=( 94.08,\ 101.92)[/tex]
Hence, the 95% confidence interval for the mean of x is (94.08, 101.92) .
Answer: 95% confidence interval would be (94.08,101.92).
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
n = 36
standard deviation = 12
sample mean = 98
At 95% confidence, z = 1.96
So, interval would be
[tex]\bar{x}\pm z\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\=98\pm 1.96\dfrac{12}{\sqrt{36}}\\\\=98\pm 3.92\\\\=(98-3.92,98+3.92)\\\\=(94.08,101.92)[/tex]
Hence, 95% confidence interval would be (94.08,101.92).

While researching lifestyle changes to improve heart health, you come across a research article reporting that the average American consumes about 2,700 calories per day (μ = 2,700).
You come across another article that refutes this, stating that a sample of Americans consumed significantly less than this mean standard on average, t(50) = 2.965, p < 0.05 (η2 = 0.15).
Assuming this test was a one-independent sample t-test, answer the following questions.
(a) Is this a significant effect? Yes, the effect is significant. No, the effect is not significant.
(b) What is the proportion of variance for this effect? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
Answer:
(a) Yes effect is significant.
(b) 0.15 or 15%
Step-by-step explanation:
Most conventional significance level is 0.05 and a p value less 0.05 indicated that test hypothesis is false and should be rejected. Given in statement that 'p < 0.05'Eta-squared (η^{2}) is the measure of proportion of variance which 0.18 given in the statement.The difference in calorie consumption is significantly different from the mean, as indicated by a p value less than 0.05. The proportion of variance, or the size of the effect, is 0.15 or 15%.
Explanation:For question (a), the effect is indeed significant. This is determined by the 'p' value which is less than 0.05. This shows that the difference between the sample and the mean calories consumed by the average American is statistically significant.
For question (b), the proportion of variance, denoted by η2, is used to measure the size of the effect independent of the sample size. It is the proportion of total variance in the dependent variable that is associated with the membership of different groups formed by the independent variable. η2 in this case is 0.15, which means 15% of the total variation in calorie consumption can be explained by the effect. Hence, the proportion of variance for this effect rounded to two decimal places is 0.15 or 15%.

Samples of laboratory glass are in small, light packaging or heavy, large packaging. Suppose that 2% and 1% of the sample shipped in small and large packages, respectively, break during transit. If 53% of the samples are shipped in large packages and 47% are shipped in small packages, what proportion of samples break during shipment? Round your answer to four decimal places (e.g. 98.7654).
Answer: Our required probability is 0.0153.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
probability of sample shipped in small packages P(S) = 53% = 0.53
Probability of sample shipped in large packages P(L) = 47% = 0.47
Probability of sample in small break during transit P(S|B)= 2%=0.02
Probability of sample in large break during transit P(L|B) = 1% = 0.01
so, According to bayes theorem, we get that
Proportion of samples break during shipment is given by
[tex]P(S).P(S|B)+P(L).P(L|B)\\\\=0.53\times 0.02+0.47\times 0.01\\\\=0.0153[/tex]
Hence, our required probability is 0.0153.
Final answer:
To find the proportion of samples that break during shipment, multiply the percentage of samples in each packaging type by their breakage rates and add the results. Doing so, we find that 1.47% of the samples break during shipment.
Explanation:
To calculate the proportion of samples that break during shipment, we need to use the percentages of each type of packaging and their respective breakage rates. For small packages, which account for 47% of shipments, a 2% break rate applies. For large packages that make up 53% of the shipments, we have a 1% break rate. The calculation is as follows:
Breakage from small packages = 47% of samples * 2% breakage = 0.47 * 0.02Breakage from large packages = 53% of samples * 1% breakage = 0.53 * 0.01Now we add these two probabilities together to find the total proportion of samples that break:
Total broken samples proportion = (0.47 * 0.02) + (0.53 * 0.01) = 0.0094 + 0.0053 = 0.0147
Thus, the proportion of broken samples during shipment is 0.0147, or 1.47% when rounded to four decimal places.
Graph of 1/sinx.
When x=0, the function goes to infinity and the function is even.
Is it correct to say that since it is periodic, the graph of 1/sinx will be the copy of the function, but in the other direction? Is it correct for all periodic functions?
Answer:
nonoStep-by-step explanation:
See the attached for a graph of 1/sin(x) = csc(x). Just as sin(x) is an odd function, so is 1/sin(x).
Any odd function is symmetrical about the origin, so the left side of the graph is a copy of the right side, rotated 180° about the origin ("in the other direction"). That is, csc(x) = -csc(-x). This is true because the function is odd, not because it is periodic.
__
Csc(x) is also a periodic function with a period of 2π. That means ...
csc(x+2π) ≡ csc(x)
This sort of replication of the function is true for all periodic functions (where the added value, the horizontal translation, is the period of the function).
__
You will note that the relation applicable to an odd function (-f(-x) = f(x)) is different from the relation applicable to a periodic function (f(x) = f(x+period)). An odd periodic function, such as csc(x), will be described by both relations.

Step-by-step explanation:
$4000 is deposited in an account that pays an APR of 8.4% compounded annually. How long will it take for the balance to reach $120,000?
Answer: number of years that it will take for the balance to reach $120,000 is 42 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Initial amount deposited into the account is $4000. This means that the principal is $4000
P = 4000
It was compounded annually. This means that it was compounded once in a year. So
n = 1
The rate at which the principal was compounded is 8.4%. So
r = 8.4/100 = 0.084
Let the number of years that it will take for the balance to reach $120,000. It means that it was compounded for a total of t years.
Amount, A at the end of t years is $120,000
The formula for compound interest is
A = P(1+r/n)^nt
120000 = 4000(1 + 0.084/1)^1×t
120000/4000 = 1.084^t
30 = 1.084^t
t = 42 years
rewrite the statement in conditional form. lines with slopes 2/3 and -3/2 are perpendicular
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of a perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the original line. Let line x represent the original line and let line y represent the line that is perpendicular to line x
A conditional statement is an if - then statement. It is connected by a hypothesis statement and a conclusion statement. The hypothesis statement is "if the slope of line x is 2/3 and the slope of line y is -3/2 which is its negative reciprocal
The conclusion statement is " then, line x is perpendicular to line y

The weight (in pounds) for a population of school-aged children is normally distributed with a mean equal to 133 ± 25 pounds (μ ± σ). Suppose we select a sample of 100 children (n = 100) to test whether children in this population are gaining weight at a 0.05 level of significance. Part (a) What are the null and alternative hypotheses? H0: μ ≤ 133 H1: μ > 133 H0: μ = 133 H1: μ < 133 H0: μ = 133 H1: μ ≠ 133 H0: μ ≤ 133 H1: μ = 133
Answer:
Null hypothesis: [tex]\mu \leq 133[/tex]
Alternative hypothesis :[tex]\mu>133[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
A hypothesis is defined as "a speculation or theory based on insufficient evidence that lends itself to further testing and experimentation. With further testing, a hypothesis can usually be proven true or false".
The null hypothesis is defined as "a hypothesis that says there is no statistical significance between the two variables in the hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that the researcher is trying to disprove".
The alternative hypothesis is "just the inverse, or opposite, of the null hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that researcher is trying to prove".
Data given and notation
[tex]\bar X[/tex] represent the mean breaking strength value for the sample
[tex]\sigma=25[/tex] represent the population standard deviation
[tex]n=100[/tex] sample size
[tex]\mu_o =133[/tex] represent the value that we want to test
[tex]\alpha=0.01[/tex] represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.
z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)
[tex]p_v[/tex] represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)
State the null and alternative hypotheses.
Is a one right tailed test.
What are H0 and Ha for this study?
We want to test if the children in this population are gaining weight, so we want to test if the mean increase from the reference value or no.
Null hypothesis: [tex]\mu \leq 133[/tex]
Alternative hypothesis :[tex]\mu>133[/tex]
Final answer:
The correct null and alternative hypotheses for testing whether children are gaining weight compared to a known mean would be H0: μ = 133 and H1: μ > 133, respectively, representing a one-tailed test.
Explanation:
When a student is asking about the null and alternative hypotheses for a population's weight distribution, they are referring to the initial assumptions and contrasting propositions made in a statistical test.
Part (a) of the question suggests that we are trying to test if children in this population are gaining weight. Therefore, the correct set of hypotheses to test this claim would be:
H0: μ = 133 (the null hypothesis, stating that the mean weight is equal to 133 pounds)
H1: μ > 133 (the alternative hypothesis, stating that the mean weight is greater than 133 pounds).
This setup represents a one-tailed test because we are only interested in whether the weight has increased, not if it has changed in any direction.

Finding the area under the standard normal curve to the left of specific Z-scores involves looking up these Z-values in a Z-table or inputting them into an appropriate calculator. The Z-scores in question range from -1.45 to 1.48 and the related cumulative probabilities represent the area under the curve.
Explanation:The question relates to finding the area under the standard normal curve, commonly referred to in statistics as Z-scores. These standardized scores indicate how many standard deviations away from the mean a particular point or score is located.
(a) Z equals negative 1.45, meaning it lies 1.45 standard deviations below the mean. When looking up this value in a standard Z-table (or using a calculator), you will find the associated cumulative probability (the area to the left under the curve).
The same process applies to (b) Z equals 0.63 (lies 0.63 standard deviations above the mean), (c) Z equals 1.48 (1.48 standard deviations above the mean) and (d) Z equals negative 1.37 (1.37 standard deviations below the mean). The exact cumulative probabilities vary with each Z-score and these represent the area under the curve to the left of each point.

Use the definition of the derivative to find an expression for the instantaneous velocity of an object moving with rectilinear motion according to the given function relating s (in ft) and t (in s). Then calculate the instantaneous velocity for the given value of t. s = 8t + 19; t=4 (Simplify your answer)
Answer:
The instantaneous velocity for [tex]s(t) = 8t + 19[/tex] when t = 4 is [tex]v(t)=8 \:\frac{ft}{s}[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
The average rate of change of function f over the interval is given by this expression:
[tex]\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}[/tex]
The average velocity is the average rate of change of distance with respect to time
[tex]average \:velocity=\frac{distance \:traveled}{time \:elapsed} =\frac{\Delta s}{\Delta t}[/tex]
The instantaneous rate of change is defined to be the result of computing the average rate of change over smaller and smaller intervals.
The derivative of f with respect to x, is the instantaneous rate of change of f with respect to x and is thus given by the formula
[tex]f'(x)= \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}[/tex]
For any equation of motion s(t), we define what we call the instantaneous velocity at time t to be the limit of the average velocity, between t and t + Δt, as Δt approaches 0.
[tex]v(t)=\lim_{\Delta t \to 0} \frac{s(t+\Delta t)-s(t)}{\Delta t}[/tex]
We know the equation of motion [tex]s(t) = 8t + 19[/tex] and we want to find the instantaneous velocity for the given value of t = 4.
Applying the definition of instantaneous velocity, we get
[tex]v(t)=\lim_{\Delta t \to 0} \frac{s(t+\Delta t)-s(t)}{\Delta t}\\\\v(4)=\lim_{\Delta t \to 0} \frac{8(4+\Delta t)+19-(8(4)+19)}{\Delta t}\\\\v(t)=\lim_{\Delta t \to 0} \frac{32+8\Delta t+19-32-19}{\Delta t}\\\\v(t)=\lim_{\Delta t \to 0} \frac{8\Delta t}{\Delta t}\\\\v(t)=8 \:\frac{ft}{s}[/tex]
The instantaneous velocity for [tex]s(t) = 8t + 19[/tex] when t = 4 is [tex]v(t)=8 \:\frac{ft}{s}[/tex].

Let:
The width of the cardboard be x.
So, the length of the cardboard is: 2.4x
When 3 inches is removed, the dimension of the box is:
[tex]\mathbf{L = 2.4x- 6}[/tex] --- length
[tex]\mathbf{W = x - 6}[/tex] ---- width
[tex]\mathbf{H = 3}[/tex] --- height
(b) The restriction on x
When 3 inches is removed, it means that a total of 6 inches will be removed from either sides.
Hence, the value of x must be greater than 6.
So, the restriction on x is:
[tex]\mathbf{x > 6}[/tex]
(c) Function that represents volume.
The volume (V) of a box is:
[tex]\mathbf{V = L \times W \times H}[/tex]

Collect like terms
[tex]\mathbf{ 7.2x^2 -61.2x +108 - 520 = 0}[/tex]

Using a calculator, we have:
[tex]\mathbf{x = 12.93\ or\ x = -4.43}[/tex]
Recall that: [tex]\mathbf{x > 6}[/tex]
So, the value of x is:

Answer: the correct option is D
Step-by-step explanation:
The zoologist is recording the loss of wolves in her state and she recorded that the number of wolves, w, in the state on January 1.
One year later, there were 84 wolves in the state which is 23 fewer than the number of wolves in the state a year earlier. This means that a year later, the number of wolves was 23 fewer than w
The number of wolves in the state on January 1 would be the sum of the number of wolves in the state a year later and the number by which it became fewer than the number on January 1. This becomes
w = 84 + 23
w - 23 = 84
The length of time a person takes to decide which shoes to purchase is normally distributed with a mean of 8.54 minutes and a standard deviation of 1.91. Find the probability that a randomly selected individual will take less than 6 minutes to select a shoe purchase. Is this outcome unusual?
Answer: 0.0918, it is not unusual.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The length of time a person takes to decide which shoes to purchase is normally distributed with a mean of 8.54 minutes and a standard deviation of 1.91.
i.e. [tex]\mu=8.54[/tex] minutes and [tex]\sigma= 1.91[/tex] minutes
Let x denotes the length of time a person takes to decide which shoes to purchase.
Formula : [tex]z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
Then, the probability that a randomly selected individual will take less than 6 minutes to select a shoe purchase will be :-
[tex]\text{P-value=}P(x<6)=P(\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}<\dfrac{6-8.54}{1.91})\\\\\approx P(z<1.33)=1-P(z<1.33)\ \ \ [\becaus\ P(Z<-z)=1-P(Z<z)]\\\\=1-0.9082\ \ [\text{By using z-value}]=0.0918[/tex]
Thus , the required probability = 0.0918
Since, P-value (0.0918) >0.05 , it means this outcome is not unusual.
[Note : When a outcome is unusual then the probability of its happening is less than or equal to 0.05. ]

We don't know f (x) but we do know that x = 1 is a critical number of f' (x) and we know f" (x)=12x. Use this information to decide if f(x) has a relative minimum or maximum at x=1.
Answer:
relative minimum
Step-by-step explanation:
From f^''(x) = 12x we can take the integration to find out what f'(x) is:
[tex]f'(x) = 6x^2 + C[/tex]
Furthermore, we can substitute x = 1 for f''(x) to find out whether it's positive or negative
f''(1) = 12*1 = 12 > 0
So if x=1 is a critical point of f'(x) and f''(x=1) > 0 then that point is a relative minimum point
Using the second derivative test with the given information f"(x)=12x, it's concluded that f(x) has a relative minimum at x=1, as f"(1) is positive.
Explanation:To determine if f(x) has a relative minimum or maximum at x=1, we can use the given information that f"(x)=12x and that x=1 is a critical number of f'(x). Since the second derivative, f"(x), is 12x, at x = 1, it is positive (f"(1)=12(1)=12). According to the second derivative test, a positive second derivative at a critical point indicates that the function has a relative minimum at that point. Therefore, we can conclude that f(x) has a relative minimum at x=1.
Consider Rosenbrock’s Function f(x, y) = (1 − x) 2 + 100(y − x 2 ) 2 .
a) Using ad-hoc/elementary reasoning, identify a global min and argue that this min is unique.
b) Confirm that this function is not convex using a characterization of convexity (as opposed to the definition of convexity). Hint: Consider the point x y = −.1 .3 .
Answer:
See steps below
Step-by-step explanation:
The function
[tex]\large f(x,y)=(1-x)^2+100(y-x^2)^2[/tex]
is a particular case of the general Rosenbrock’s Function.
a)
Since
[tex]\large ((1-x)^2\geq 0[/tex] for all the values of x and equals 0 when x=1 and
[tex]\large (y-x^2)^2=(y-1)^2\geq 0[/tex] for all the values of y and equals 0 only when y=1, we conclude that (1,1) is a minimum.
On the other hand,
f(x,y)>0 for (x,y) ≠ (1,1) so (1,1) is a global minimum.
b)
To confirm that this function is not convex, we will be using the following characterization of convexity
“f is convex if, and only if, the Laplace operator of f [tex]\large \nabla^2f \geq 0[/tex] for every (x,y) in the domain of f”
Given that the domain of f is the whole plane XY, in order to prove that f is not convex, we must find a point (x,y) at where the Laplace operator is < 0.
The Laplace operator is given by
[tex]\large \nabla^2f=\displaystyle\frac{\partial ^2f}{\partial x^2}+\displaystyle\frac{\partial ^2f}{\partial y^2}[/tex]
Let us compute the partial derivatives
[tex]\large \displaystyle\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}=-2(1-x)+200(y-x^2)(-2x)=-2+2x-400xy+400x^3\\\\\displaystyle\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x^2}=2-400y+1200x^2[/tex]
and
[tex]\large \displaystyle\frac{\partial f}{\partial y}=200(y-x^2)=200y-200x^2\\\\\displaystyle\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x^2}=200[/tex]
we have then
[tex]\large \nabla^2 f=2-400y+1200x^2+200[/tex]
if we take (x,y) = (0,1)
[tex]\large \nabla^2 f(0,1)=2-400+200=202-400=-198<0[/tex]
hence f is not convex.
At an amusement park, guests have to take either a train or a boat 14 miles from the parking lot to the front entrance and then back when they leave the park. The train goes 10 mph faster than the boat. Abdul takes the train into the park and the boat on his way back. The boat goes an average speed of 20 mph. How long did the round trip take?
Answer:
[tex]\frac{7}{6} hours[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance for one way = 14 miles
The boat goes an average speed of 20 mph
The train goes 10 mph faster than the boat.
Speed of train = 20+10 = 30 kmph
Abdul takes the train into the park and the boat on his way back.
Time taken for going into park by train = [tex]\frac{Distance}{\text{Speed of train}}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{14}{30}[/tex]
Time taken for going back by boat = [tex]\frac{Distance}{\text{Speed of train}}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{14}{20}[/tex]
So, total time = [tex]\frac{14}{30}+\frac{14}{20}=\frac{7}{6} hours[/tex]
Hence the round trip take [tex]\frac{7}{6} hours[/tex]
The period of the round trip is mathematically given as

Evaluate the position vectors at the common time. The common solution is when t = 7.
[tex]r_1(7)=\langle 7^2,16(7)-63,7^2\rangle=\langle 49,49,49\rangle\\\\r_2(7)=\langle 9(7)-14,7^2,13(7)-42\rangle=\langle 49,49,49\rangle[/tex]
For two particles to collide, they must be at exactly the same coordinates at exactly the same time.
The particles collide when t = 7 at the point (49, 49, 49).

Let's perform a hypothesis test to determine whether the number of weeks until a house is sold in Greene County differs from the national average. The average number of weeks to sell a home nationally is 3 weeks.
Hypotheses:
- Null hypothesis [tex](\(H_0\))[/tex]: The average number of weeks to sell a home in Greene County is equal to the national average [tex](\(μ = 3\) weeks)[/tex].
[tex]\[ H_0: \mu = 3 \][/tex]
- Alternative hypothesis [tex](\(H_a\))[/tex]: The average number of weeks to sell a home in Greene County differs from the national average.
[tex]\[ H_a: \mu \neq 3 \][/tex]
Given Information:
- Sample mean [tex](\(\bar{x}\))[/tex] = 3.6 weeks
- Sample standard deviation s = 2 weeks
- Sample size n = 39
- Level of significance [tex](\(\alpha\))[/tex] = 0.05
Test Statistic:
The test statistic for a one-sample t-test is given by:
[tex]\[ t = \frac{\bar{x} - \mu_0}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}} \][/tex]
Calculation:
[tex]\[ t = \frac{3.6 - 3}{\frac{2}{\sqrt{39}}} \][/tex]
Let's calculate the value of \(t\) and the p-value.
Calculation:
[tex]t = \frac{3.6 - 3}{\frac{2}{\sqrt{39}}} \]\\t \approx \frac{0.6}{\frac{2}{\sqrt{39}}} \]\\t \approx \frac{0.6}{0.319439} \]\\t \approx 1.878 \][/tex]
Degrees of Freedom:
The degrees of freedom for a one-sample t-test is \(n-1\), where \(n\) is the sample size.
[tex]\[ \text{Degrees of Freedom} = 39 - 1 = 38 \][/tex]
P-Value:
Now, we need to find the p-value associated with this t-statistic and degrees of freedom. Since it's a two-tailed test, we're interested in the probability that the t-statistic is greater than 1.878 or less than -1.878.
You can use a t-table or statistical software to find this p-value. For [tex]\(df = 38\)[/tex] and [tex]\(t \approx 1.878\)[/tex], the p-value is approximately 0.0678 (two-tailed).
Conclusion:
Since the p-value (0.0678) is greater than the significance level (\(\alpha = 0.05\)), we do not reject the null hypothesis.

ExplanationTo conduct the hypothesis test, calculate the test statistic and the p-value. The test statistic for a hypothesis test comparing a sample mean to a population mean when the population standard deviation is known is calculated using the formula:
[tex]\[ Z = \frac{\bar{X} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}} \][/tex]
Where:
[tex]\(\bar{X}\)[/tex]n (3.6 weeks)
\(\mu\) = population mean (3 weeks)
[tex]\(\sigma\)[/tex]n standard deviation (2 weeks)
[tex]\(n\)[/tex]mple size (39)
Plugging in the values:
[tex]\[ Z = \frac{3.6 - 3}{\frac{2}{\sqrt{39}}} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ Z ≈ 1.702 \][/tex]
The p-value associated with this test statistic can be found using a standard normal distribution table or a statistical calculator. With a Z-score of 1.702, the corresponding two-tailed p-value is approximately 0.0883.
The calculated test statistic, \( Z ≈ 1.702 \), falls within the critical region for a two-tailed test at a significance level of α = 0.05. This means that the p-value (0.0883) is greater than the chosen level of significance (0.05). Consequently, there is insufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis.
Thus, based on the sample data from Greene County, Ohio, in 2017, we do not have enough evidence to conclude that the average number of weeks until a house sold differs significantly from the national average in 2017. This suggests that, statistically, the time it takes for a house to sell in Greene County during that year might not be significantly different from the national average.
Overall, with a p-value of 0.0883 and at a significance level of 0.05, the analysis does not provide enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, suggesting that the average number of weeks until a house sold in Greene County, Ohio, in 2017 may not differ significantly from the national average in the same year.
4. A process has been developed that can transform ordinary iron into a kind of super iron called metallic glass. Metallic glass is three to four times stronger than the toughest steel alloys. To estimate the mean temperature, u, at which a particular type of metallic glass becomes brittle, 25 pieces of this metallic glass were randomly sampled from a recent production run. Each piece was subjected to higher and higher temperatures until it became brittle. The temperature at which brittleness first appeared was recorded for each piece in the sample. The following results were obtained: X 480°F and s 11°F Construct a 95% confidence interval to estimate . (20 points)
Answer:
The 95% confidence interval to estimate is 475.4592 to 484.5408
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided information.
25 pieces of this metallic glass were randomly sampled from a recent production run.
That means the value of n is 25.
The degree of freedom is:
df = n-1
df = 25-1 = 24
X = 480°F and s = 11°F
We need to Construct a 95% confidence interval to estimate.
1-α=0.95
α=0.05
It is a two tail test with small sample size.
Determine the value of t by using Degrees of freedom and Significance level:
The required t value is 2.064
[tex]95\% CI=\bar x\pm t_c\times \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
Substitute the respective values as shown:
[tex]95\% CI=480\pm 2.064\times \frac{11}{\sqrt{25}}[/tex]
[tex]95\% CI=480\pm 4.5408[/tex]
[tex]95\% CI=475.4592\ to\ 484.5408[/tex]
Hence, the 95% confidence interval to estimate is 475.4592 to 484.5408
Using the t-distribution, as we have the standard deviation for the sample, it is found that the 95% confidence interval to estimate the temperature at which brittleness first appeared is given by (475.46 ºF, 484.54 ºF).
What is a t-distribution confidence interval?The confidence interval is:
[tex]\overline{x} \pm t\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
In which:
[tex]\overline{x}[/tex] is the sample mean.t is the critical value.n is the sample size.s is the standard deviation for the sample.The critical value, using a t-distribution calculator, for a two-tailed 95% confidence interval, with 25 - 1 = 24 df, is t = 2.0639.
The other parameters are as follows:
[tex]n = 25, \overline{x} = 480, s = 11[/tex]
Hence:
[tex]\overline{x} - t\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 480 - 2.0639\frac{11}{\sqrt{25}} = 475.46[/tex]
[tex]\overline{x} + t\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 480 + 2.0639\frac{11}{\sqrt{25}} = 484.54[/tex]
The 95% confidence interval is (475.46 ºF, 484.54 ºF).
