Step-by-step explanation:
Hello, first of all, we will check if we can factorise the polynomials.
[tex]\boxed{x^2+6x+8}\\\\\text{The sum of the zeroes is -6=(-4)+(-2) and the product 8=(-4)*(-2), so}\\\\x^2+6x+8=x^2+2x+4x+8=x(x+2)+4(x+2)=(x+2)(x+4)[/tex]
[tex]\boxed{x^2+3x-10}\\\\\text{The sum of the zeroes is -3=(-5)+(+2) and the product -10=(-5)*(+2), so}\\\\x^2+3x-10=x^2+5x-2x-10=x(x+5)-2(x+5)=(x+5)(x-2)[/tex]
[tex]\boxed{x^2+2x-15}\\\\\text{The sum of the zeroes is -2=(-5)+(+3) and the product -15=(-5)*(+3), so}\\\\x^2+2x-15=x^2-3x+5x-15=x(x-3)+5(x-3)=(x+5)(x-3)[/tex]
[tex]\boxed{x^2+3x-4}\\\\\text{The sum of the zeroes is -3=(-4)+(+1) and the product -4=(-4)*(+1), so}\\\\x^2+3x-4=x^2-x+4x-4=x(x-1)+4(x-1)=(x+4)(x-1)[/tex]
Now, let's compute the product.
[tex]\dfrac{x^2+6x+8}{x^2+3x-10}\cdot \dfrac{x^2+2x-15}{x^2+3x-4}\\\\\\=\dfrac{(x+2)(x+4)}{(x+5)(x-2)}\cdot \dfrac{(x+5)(x-3)}{(x+4)(x-1)}\\\\\\\text{We can simplify}\\\\=\dfrac{(x+2)}{(x-2)}\cdot \dfrac{(x-3)}{(x-1)}\\\\\\=\large \boxed{\dfrac{x^2-x-6}{x^2-3x+2}}[/tex]

Answer:
Matched or paired data
Step-by-step explanation:
In statistics the different types of study included experimental and observational with the matched or paired data.
The observational study is one in which there is no alteration in the obseravtions or any change. It is purely based on observations.
The experimental study is one in which some experiment or change is brought about to see the effects of the experiment and the results are recorded as before and after treatment etc.
The matched or paired study is one in which two or more groups are simultaneously observed , recorded to find the difference between them or other parameters which maybe useful for the differences or similarities.
The screening process for detecting a rare disease is not perfect. Researchers have developed a blood test that is considered fairly reliable. It gives a positive reaction in 94.8% of the people who have that disease. However, it erroneously gives a positive reaction in 3.3% of the people who do not have the disease. Consider the null hypothesis "the individual does not have the disease" to answer the following questions.
a. What is the probability of Type I error?
b. What is the probability of Type II error?
Answers
Answer:
Probability of Type 1 error = 0.033
Probability of type II error = 0.952
Step-by-step explanation:
H0: Individual does not have disease
H1: individual has disease
Type 1 error occurs when we fail to accept a correct null hypothesis and accept an alternate Instead
Type ii error occurs when we accept a false null hypothesis instead of the alternate hypothesis
Probability of people with disease = 98.4%
Probability of people without disease = 3.3%
1.probability of type 1 error = 3.3/100
= 0.033
2. Probability of type ii error = (1-98.4%) = 1-0.948
= 0.052
Suppose that Y1, Y2,..., Yn denote a random sample of size n from a Poisson distribution with mean λ. Consider λˆ 1 = (Y1 + Y2)/2 and λˆ 2 = Y . Derive the efficiency of λˆ 1 relative to λˆ 2.
Answers
Answer:
The answer is "[tex]\bold{\frac{2}{n}}[/tex]".
Step-by-step explanation:
considering [tex]Y_1, Y_2,........, Y_n[/tex] signify a random Poisson distribution of the sample size of n which means is λ.
[tex]E(Y_i)= \lambda \ \ \ \ \ and \ \ \ \ \ Var(Y_i)= \lambda[/tex]
Let assume that,
[tex]\hat \lambda_i = \frac{Y_1+Y_2}{2}[/tex]
multiply the above value by Var on both sides:
[tex]Var (\hat \lambda_1 )= Var(\frac{Y_1+Y_2}{2} )[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{1}{4}(Var (Y_1)+Var (Y_2))\\\\=\frac{1}{4}(\lambda+\lambda)\\\\=\frac{1}{4}( 2\lambda)\\\\=\frac{\lambda}{2}\\[/tex]
now consider [tex]\hat \lambda_2[/tex] = [tex]\bar Y[/tex]
[tex]Var (\hat \lambda_2 )= Var(\bar Y )[/tex]
[tex]=Var \{ \frac{\sum Y_i}{n}\}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{1}{n^2}\{\sum_{i}^{}Var(Y_i)\}\\\\=\frac{1}{n^2}\{ n \lambda \}\\\\=\frac{\lambda }{n}\\[/tex]
For calculating the efficiency divides the [tex]\hat \lambda_1 \ \ \ and \ \ \ \hat \lambda_2[/tex] value:
Formula:
[tex]\bold{Efficiency = \frac{Var(\lambda_2)}{Var(\lambda_1)}}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{\frac{\lambda}{n}}{\frac{\lambda}{2}}\\\\= \frac{\lambda}{n} \times \frac {2} {\lambda}\\\\ \boxed{= \frac{2}{n}}[/tex]
A new fast-food firm predicts that the number of franchises for its products will grow at the rate dn dt = 6 t + 1 where t is the number of years, 0 ≤ t ≤ 15.
Answers
Answer:
The answer is "253"
Step-by-step explanation:
In the given- equation there is mistype error so, the correct equation and its solution can be defined as follows:
Given:
[tex]\bold{\frac{dn}{dt} = 6\sqrt{t+1}}\\[/tex]
[tex]\to dn= 6\sqrt{t+1} \ \ dt.....(a)\\\\[/tex]
integrate the above value:
[tex]\to \int dn= \int 6\sqrt{t+1} \ \ dt \\\\\to n= \frac{(6\sqrt{t+1} )^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\frac{3}{2}}+c\\\\\to n= \frac{(12\sqrt{t+1} )^{\frac{3}{2}}}{3}+c\\\\[/tex]
When the value of n=1 then t=0
[tex]\to 1= \frac{12(0+1)^{\frac{3}{2}}}{3}+c\\\\ \to 1= \frac{12(1)^{\frac{3}{2}}}{3}+c\\\\\to 1-\frac{12}{3}=c\\\\\to \frac{3-12}{3}=c\\\\\to \frac{-9}{3}=c\\\\\to c=-3\\[/tex]
so the value of n is:
[tex]\to n= \frac{(12\sqrt{t+1} )^{\frac{3}{2}}}{3}-3\\\\[/tex]
when we put the value t= 15 then,
[tex]\to n= \frac{(12\sqrt{15+1} )^{\frac{3}{2}}}{3}-3\\\\\to n= \frac{(12\sqrt{16} )^{\frac{3}{2}}}{3}-3\\\\\to n= \frac{(12\times 64)}{3}-3\\\\\to n= (4\times 64)-3\\\\\to n= 256-3\\\\\to n= 253[/tex]
(1 point) Consider the function f(x)=2x3−9x2−60x+1 on the interval [−4,9]. Find the average or mean slope of the function on this interval. Average slope: By the Mean Value Theorem, we know there exists at least one value c in the open interval (−4,9) such that f′(c) is equal to this mean slope. List all values c that work. If there are none, enter none . Values of c:
Answers
Answer: c = 4.97 and c = -1.97
Step-by-step explanation: Mean Value Theorem states if a function f(x) is continuous on interval [a,b] and differentiable on (a,b), there is at least one value c in the interval (a<c<b) such that:
[tex]f'(c) = \frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}[/tex]
So, for the function f(x) = [tex]2x^{3}-9x^{2}-60x+1[/tex] on interval [-4,9]
[tex]f'(x) = 6x^{2}-18x-60[/tex]
f(-4) = [tex]2.(-4)^{3}-9.(-4)^{2}-60.(-4)+1[/tex]
f(-4) = 113
f(9) = [tex]2.(9)^{3}-9.(9)^{2}-60.(9)+1[/tex]
f(9) = 100
Calculating average:
[tex]6c^{2}-18c-60 = \frac{100-113}{9-(-4)}[/tex]
[tex]6c^{2}-18c-60 = -1[/tex]
[tex]6c^{2}-18c-59 = 0[/tex]
Resolving through Bhaskara:
c = [tex]\frac{18+\sqrt{1740} }{12}[/tex]
c = [tex]\frac{18+41.71 }{12}[/tex] = 4.97
c = [tex]\frac{18-41.71 }{12}[/tex] = -1.97
Both values of c exist inside the interval [-4,9], so both values are mean slope: c = 4.97 and c = -1.97

Step-by-step explanation:
To find the inverse of any function you basically switch x and y.
function = y = x^3 + 5
Now we switch x and y
x = y^3 +5
Solve for y,
x - 5 = y^3
switch sides,
y^3 = x-5
y = [tex]\sqrt[3]{x-5}[/tex]
Answer:
[tex]\Large \boxed{{f^{-1}(x)=\sqrt[3]{x-5}}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The function is given,
[tex]f(x)=x^3 +5[/tex]
The inverse of a function reverses the original function.
Replace f(x) with y.
[tex]y=x^3 +5[/tex]
Switch variables.
[tex]x=y^3 +5[/tex]
Solve for y to find the inverse.
Subtract 5 from both sides.
[tex]x-5=y^3[/tex]
Take the cube root of both sides.
[tex]\sqrt[3]{x-5} =y[/tex]

A regular polygon inscribed in a circle can be used to derive the formula for the area of a circle. The polygon area can be expressed in terms of the area of a triangle. Let s be the side length of the polygon, let r be the hypotenuse of the right triangle, let h be the height of the triangle, and let n be the number of sides of the regular polygon. polygon area = n(12sh) Which statement is true? As h increases, s approaches r so that rh approaches r². As r increases, h approaches r so that rh approaches r². As s increases, h approaches r so that rh approaches r². As n increases, h approaches r so that rh approaches r².
Answers
Answer:
Option (D)
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula to get the area of a regular polygon in a circle will be,
Area = [tex]n[\frac{1}{2}\times (\text{Base})\times (\text{Height})][/tex]
= [tex]n[\frac{1}{2}\times (\text{s})\times (\text{h})][/tex]
Here 'n' is the number of sides.
If n increases, h approaches r so that 'rh' approaches r².
In other words, if the number of sides of the polygon gets increased, area of the polygon approaches the area of the circle.
Therefore, Option (4) will be the answer.
In this exercise it is necessary to have knowledge about polygons, so we have to:
Letter D
Then using the formula for the area of a regular polygon we find that:
[tex]A=n(1/2*B*H)\\=n(1/2*S*H)[/tex]
So from this way we were not able to identify the option that best corresponds to this alternative.

The mean area of 7 halls is 55m².If the mean of 6 of them be 58m², find the area of the seventh all.
Answers
Answer:
Area of 7th hall = 37 m^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Total area of 7 halls = 7*55 = 385
Total area of 6 halls = 6*58 = 348
Area of 7th hall = 385-348 = 37 m^2
Answer:
The area of the seventh hall = 37m²
Step-by-step explanation:
for 6 halls
Mean area of 6 halls = 58m²
[tex]Mean\ area = \frac{sum\ of\ areas}{Number\ of\ halls} \\58\ =\ \frac{sum\ of\ areas}{6} \\sum\ of\ areas\ of\ 6\ halls\ = 58\ \times\ 6 = 348\\sum\ of\ areas\ of\ 6\ halls\ = 348[/tex]
Let the area of the 7th hall be x
The sum of the areas of 7 halls = 348 + x - - - - - - (1)
[tex]Mean = \frac{sum\ of\ the\ areas\ of\ 7\ halls}{7} \\55 = \frac{sum\ of\ the\ areas\ of\ 7\ halls}{7} \\sum\ of\ the\ areas\ of\ 7\ halls\ = 55\ \times\ 7\ = 385\\sum\ of\ the\ areas\ of\ 7\ halls\ =\ 385 - - - - (2)[/tex]
notice that equation (1) = equation (2)
348 + x = 385
x = 385 - 348 = 37m²
Therefore, the area of the seventh hall = 37m²

Use the given data to find the minimum sample size required to estimate the population proportion. Margin of error: 0.028; confidence level: 99%; p and q unknown

Answer:
The minimum sample size is [tex]n = 2123[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The margin of error is [tex]E = 0.028[/tex]
Given that the confidence level is 99% then the level of significance is evaluated as
[tex]\alpha = 100 - 99[/tex]
[tex]\alpha = 1 \%[/tex]
[tex]\alpha =0.01[/tex]
Next we obtain the critical value of [tex]\frac{ \alpha }{2}[/tex] from the normal distribution table
The value is [tex]Z_{\frac{ \alpha }{2} } = 2.58[/tex]
Now let assume that the sample proportion is [tex]\r p = 0.5[/tex]
hence [tex]\r q = 1 - \r p[/tex]
=> [tex]\r q = 0.50[/tex]
Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as
[tex]n =[ \frac{Z_{\frac{ \alpha }{2} }}{ E} ]^2 * \r p * \r q[/tex]
[tex]n =[ \frac{2.58}{ 0.028} ]^2 * 0.5 * 0.5[/tex]

Determine the decision criterion for rejecting the null hypothesis in the given hypothesis test; i.e., describe the values of the test statistic that would result in rejection of the null hypothesis. Suppose you wish to test the claim that , the mean value of the differences d for a population of paired data, is greater than 0. Given a sample of n15 and a significance level of 0.01, what criterion would be used for rejecting the null hypothesis?
Answers
Answer:
reject null hypothesis if calculated t value > 2.624
Step-by-step explanation:
n = 15
To calculate degree of freedom, n -1 = 14
The claim says ud>0
The decision rule would be to reject this null hypothesis if the test statistics turns out to be greater than the critical value.
With df =14
Confidence level = 0.01
Critical value = 2.624 (for a one tailed test)
If the t value calculated is > 2.624, we reject null hypothesis.
Using the t-distribution and it's critical values, the decision rule is:
t < 2.624: Do not reject the null hypothesis.t > 2.624: Reject the null hypothesis.At the null hypothesis, we test if the mean is not greater than 0, that is:
[tex]H_0: \mu \leq 0[/tex]
At the alternative hypothesis, we test if the mean is greater than 0, that is:
[tex]H_1: \mu > 0[/tex].
We then have to find the critical value for a right-tailed test(test if the mean is more than a value), with 15 - 1 = 14 df and a significance level of 0.01. Using a t-distribution calculator, it is [tex]t^{\ast} = 2.624[/tex].
Hence, the decision rule is, according to the test statistic t:
t < 2.624: Do not reject the null hypothesis.t > 2.624: Reject the null hypothesis.A similar problem is given at https://brainly.com/question/13949450

Therefore, a simple method to use to find the area of the given rhombus is to calculate the area of one of the right triangles, and multiply by 4.
Area of right triangle = ½*base*height
Height = 3
Base = [tex]\sqrt{5^2 - 3^2} = \sqrt{16} = 4[/tex] (Pythagorean theorem)

Determina el valor absoluto de 13 – 11|
Answers
Responder:
2
Explicación paso a paso:
El valor absoluto de una expresión es el también conocido como valor positivo devuelto por la expresión. Una expresión en un signo de módulo se conoce como valor absoluto de la expresión y dicha expresión siempre toma dos valores (tanto el valor positivo como el negativo).
Por ejemplo, el valor absoluto de x se escribe como | x | y esto puede devolver tanto + x como -x debido al signo del módulo.
Pasando a la pregunta, debemos determinar el valor absoluto de | 13-11 |. Esto significa que debemos determinar el valor positivo de la expresión como se muestra;
= | 13-11 |
= | 2 |
Este módulo de 2 puede devolver tanto +2 como -2, pero el valor absoluto solo devolverá el valor positivo, es decir, 2.
Por tanto, el valor absoluto de la expresión es 2
