You decide to determine, once and for all, which chocolate brownies are best-- yours or your sister-in-law's Yolanda-- by devising a test of hypothesis. She is a superb baker and she mocks your baking as inferior. Undaunted, you decide to randomly select 100 names from the NYC phone book. You contact each selected individual and they agree to participate in your study. Then, you send your brownies with instructions for rating the taste and one week later you send Yolanda's brownies with the same instructions. Each group rates the brownies on a 10 point ordinal scale--10 implies exquisite and 1 implies inedible. True or False: This test is performed on paired or matched samples.

Me solve this problem, and someone clearly explain to me how to solve it.1.) use the value of the discriminant to determine if the given trinomials has 2 real solutions, 1 real solution, or no real solutions.a.  x2  − 4x  − 7 = 0b. 4r2  + 11r  − 3 = 0c. 3m2  + 7 = 0d.  t2  + 2t  + 1 = 0

1- is the product of two rational numbers irrational or rational? first, make a hypothesis by multiplying two rational numbers. then, use variables such as x=a/b and y=c/d and the closure property of integers to prove your hypothesis. 2- what do you think the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is? is it rational or irrational? make use of variables, the closure property of integers, and possibly a proof by contradiction to prove your hypothesis. 3- why do we have to specify that the rational number must be nonzero when we determine what the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is? if the rational number were 0, would it give us the same result we found in part b?

3x + 4y = 5 x- 3y = -7 solve by substitution
