Answer:

2x − 9 and x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

2x² + 3x − 54

Factor using the AC method.

2 × -54 = -108

Factors of -108 that add up to 3 are +12 and -9.

Divide by 2 and reduce: 12/2 = 6/1, -9/2 = -9/2.

Therefore, the factors are x + 6 and 2x − 9.

Hi there! Osvoldo did not meet his goal.

(In my answering I suppose you mean 30%, 220 grams of carbohydrates and 55 grams of whole grains, if this is incorrect, please let me know)

Today Osvoldo ate 220 grams of carbohydrates.
10 % of 220 is 22 (divide by 10), and therefore 30 % of 220 is 22 * 3 = 66.

If at least 66 grams of Osvoldo's total consumption consisted of whole grains, he would have met his goal. However, he only ate 55 grams of whole grains (which is less than 66), and therefore he did not meet his goal.

Answer:

a) The 95% confidence interval would be given by (509.592;550.308)

b) n=523 rounded up to the nearest integer

Step-by-step explanation:

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".

$\bar X=530$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean

s=70 represent the sample standard deviation

n=48 represent the sample size (variable of interest)

Confidence =95% or 0.995

Part a

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

The degrees of freedom are df=n-1=48-1=47

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of $\alpha=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.025,47)".And we see that $z_{\alpha/2}=2.01$
