Suppose that the ages of members in a large billiards league have a known standard deviation of σ = 12 σ=12sigma, equals, 12 yea

rs. Hernando plans on taking a random sample of n nn members from this population to make a 95 % 95%95, percent confidence interval for the mean age in the league. He wants the margin of error to be no more than 5 55 years. Which of these is the smallest approximate sample size required to obtain the desired margin of error?

Answer:

n\geq 23

Step-by-step explanation:

-For a known standard deviation, the sample size for a desired margin of error is calculated using the formula:

n\geq (\frac{z\sigma}{ME})^2

Where:

  • \sigma is the standard deviation
  • ME is the desired margin of error.

We substitute our given values to calculate the sample size:

n\geq (\frac{z\sigma}{ME})^2\\\\\geq (\frac{1.96\times 12}{5})^2\\\\\geq 22.13\approx23

Hence, the smallest desired sample size is 23

There are a couple of ways you can solve this. You can write it out like
(K-3)(K-3)(K-3)(K-3)(K-3)(K-3)(K-3)
And pretty much use the foil method
Or you can use the binomial theorem (google it if you dont know)
The solution should be:
(K^7) - 21(k^6) + 189(k^5) - 945(k^4) + 2835(k^3) - 5103(k^2) + 5103k - 2187

Consider the function f left parenthesis x right parenthesis equals 3 x squared minus 5 x minus 2f(x)=3x2−5x−2 and complete part
GuDViN [60]

Given f(x)=3x²-5x-2

a) To find f(a+h) replace x with a+h in the given function. So,

f(a+h)=3(a+h)²-5(a+h)-2

=3(a²+2ah+h²)-5(a+h)-2 By using the formula (x+y)²=x²+2xy+y².

=3a²+6ah+3h²-5a-5h-2 By distributing property.

b) Similarly to find f(a) we need to replace x with a. So,

f(a)=3a²-5a-2

So, f(a+h)-f(h)= (3a²+6ah+3h²-5a-5h-2)-(3a²-5a-2)

=3a²+6ah+3h²-5a-5h-2-3a²+5a+2.

=6ah+3h^2-5h (All other terms has been cancel out)

What are the possible polynomial expression for dimensions of the cuboid whose volume is 12y2 + 8y -20
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cuboid is the product of its length, height and breadth. It is given by:

Volume = length × breadth × height

Since the volume is given by the expression 12y² + 8y - 20. That is:

Volume = 12y² + 8y - 20 = 4(3y² + 2y - 5) = 4(3y² + 5y - 3y -5) = 4[y(3y + 5) -1(3y + 5)]

Volume = 4(y-1)(3y+5)

Or

Volume = 12y² + 8y - 20 = 2(6y² +4y - 10) = 2(6y² + 10y - 6y -10) = 2[y(6y + 10) -1(6y + 10)]

Volume = 2(y-1)(6y+10)

Therefore the dimensions of the cuboid are either 4, y-1 and 3y+5 or 2, y-1 and 6y+10

What is the slope of the line through ( − 5 , − 10 ) (−5,−10)left parenthesis, minus, 5, comma, minus, 10, right parenthesis and
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

3.75

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the slope of a straight line through points (-5,-10) and (-1,5).

Now. we know the slope of a straight line through the points (x_{1},y_{1}) and (x_{2},y_{2}) is given by [\frac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2} - x_{1}} ].

So, in our case (x_{1},y_{1}) ≡ (-5,-10) and (x_{2},y_{2}) ≡ (-1,5).  

Therefore, the slope of the line is \frac{5 - (- 10)}{- 1 - (- 5)} = \frac{15}{4} = 3.75 (Answer)
