Answer:
c. Lower boundary = 0.50
Step-by-step explanation:
In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.
[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]
In which
z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].
An ecologist finds 220 yellow-flowered plants and 180 white-flowered plants.
220 out of 220 + 180 = 400. So
[tex]n = 400, \pi = \frac{220}{400} = 0.55[/tex]
95% confidence level
So [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.96[/tex].
The lower limit of this interval is:
[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.55 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.55*0.45}{400}} = 0.5[/tex]
Thus the correct answer is given by option c.
A market surveyor wishes to know how many energy drinks teenagers drink each week. They want to construct a 98% confidence interval for the mean and are assuming that the population standard deviation for the number of energy drinks consumed each week is 1.1. The study found that for a sample of 1027 teenagers the mean number of energy drinks consumed per week is 5.9. Construct the desired confidence interval. Round your answers to one decimal place.
Answer:
The 98% confidence interval for the mean number of energy drinks consumed per week by teenagers is (5.8, 6).
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:
[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.98}{2} = 0.01[/tex]
Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].
That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.01 = 0.99[/tex], so Z = 2.327.
Now, find the margin of error M as such
[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.
[tex]M = 2.327\frac{1.1}{\sqrt{1027}} = 0.1[/tex]
The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 5.9 - 0.1 = 5.8 drinks per week.
The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 5.9 + 0.1 = 6 drinks per week.
The 98% confidence interval for the mean number of energy drinks consumed per week by teenagers is (5.8, 6).

Equation?
Slope?
Y-intercept?
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Calculate m using the slope formula
m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 2) ← 2 points on the line
m = [tex]\frac{2-(-3)}{4-0}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2+3}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex]
The line crosses the y- axis at (0, - 3 ) ⇒ c = - 3
y = [tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex] - 3 ← equation of line
A scientist has acid solutions with concentrations of 4% and 15%. He wants to mix some of each solution to get 44 milliliters of solution with a 12% concentration. How many milliliters of each solution does he need to mix together?
Let x and y be the amounts (in mL) of the 4% and 15% solutions, respectively, that the scientist needs to use.
He wants to end up with a 44 mL solution, so
x + y = 44 mL
Each milliliter of 4% solution contains 0.04 mL of acid, while each mL of 15% contains 0.15 mL of acid. The resulting solution should have a concentration of 12%, so that each mL of it contains 0.12 mL of acid. Then the solution will contain
0.04x + 0.15y = 0.12 × (44 mL) = 5.28 mL
of acid.
Solve for x and y. In the first equation, we have y = 44 mL - x, and substituting into the second equation gives
0.04x + 0.15 (44 mL - x) = 5.28 mL
0.04x + 6.6 mL - 0.15x = 5.28 mL
1.32 mL = 0.19x
x ≈ 6.95 mL
==> y ≈ 37.05 mL
What is the true solution to the equation below? 2 lne^ln2x-lne^ln10x=ln30
It looks like the equation is
[tex]2\ln\left(e^{\ln(2x)}\right)-\ln\left(e^{\ln(10x)}\right) = \ln(30)[/tex]
Right away, we notice that any solution to this equation must be positive, so x > 0.
For any base b, we have [tex]b^{\log_b(a)}=a[/tex], so we can simplify this to
[tex]2\ln(2x)-\ln\left(10x\right) = \ln(30)[/tex]
Next, [tex]\ln(a^b)=b\ln(a)[/tex], so that
[tex]\ln(2x)^2-\ln\left(10x\right) = \ln(30)[/tex]
[tex]\ln\left(4x^2\right)-\ln\left(10x\right) = \ln(30)[/tex]
Next, [tex]\ln\left(\frac ab\right)=\ln(a)-\ln(b)[/tex], so that
[tex]\ln\left(\dfrac{4x^2}{10x}\right) = \ln(30)[/tex]
For x ≠ 0, we have [tex]\frac xx=1[/tex], so that
[tex]\ln\left(\dfrac{2x}5\right) = \ln(30)[/tex]
Take the antilogarithm of both sides:
[tex]e^{\ln\left((2x)/5\right)} = e^{\ln(30)}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{2x}5 = 30[/tex]
Solve for x :
[tex]2x = 150[/tex]

Answer:
x=12
Step-by-step explanation:
each side of the smaller triangle, we can multiply by 4 to get the side of the larger triangle
ex: 8*4=32 and 17*4=68
so we can assume that 15*4= 4x+12
60=4x+12
48=4x
x=12
Answer:
x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangles are similar so we can use ratios
4x+12 32
------- = ------------
15 8
Using cross products
(4x+12) *8 = 15 * 32
(4x+12) *8 = 480
Divide each side by 8
(4x+12) *8/8 = 480/8
4x+12 = 60
Subtract 12 from each side
4x+12 -12 = 60-12
4x = 48
Divide by 4
4x/4 = 48/4
x = 12
Which graph represents the function f (x) = StartFraction 1 Over x + 3 EndFraction minus 2?
Given:
The function is:
[tex]f(x)=\dfrac{1}{x+3}-2[/tex]
To find:
The graph of the given function.
Solution:
We have,
[tex]f(x)=\dfrac{1}{x+3}-2[/tex]
It can be written as:
[tex]f(x)=\dfrac{1-2(x+3)}{x+3}[/tex]
[tex]f(x)=\dfrac{1-2x-6}{x+3}[/tex]
[tex]f(x)=\dfrac{-2x-5}{x+3}[/tex]
Putting [tex]x=0[/tex] to find the y-intercept.
[tex]f(0)=\dfrac{-2(0)-5}{(0)+3}[/tex]
[tex]f(0)=\dfrac{-5}{3}[/tex]
So, the y-intercept is [tex]\dfrac{-5}{3}[/tex].
Putting [tex]f(x)=0[/tex] to find the x-intercept.
[tex]0=\dfrac{-2x-5}{x+3}[/tex]
[tex]0=-2x-5[/tex]
[tex]2x=-5[/tex]
[tex]x=\dfrac{-5}{2}[/tex]
[tex]x=-2.5[/tex]
So, the x-intercept is [tex]-2.5[/tex].
For vertical asymptote, equate the denominator and 0.
[tex]x+3=0[/tex]
[tex]x=-3[/tex]
So, the vertical asymptote is [tex]x=-3[/tex].
The degrees of numerator and denominator are equal, so the horizontal asymptote is the ratio of leading coefficients.
[tex]y=\dfrac{-2}{1}[/tex]
[tex]y=-2[/tex]
So, the horizontal asymptote is [tex]y=-2[/tex].
End behavior of the given function:
[tex]f(x)\to -2[/tex] as [tex]x\to -\infty[/tex]
[tex]f(x)\to -\infty[/tex] as [tex]x\to -3^-[/tex]
[tex]f(x)\to \infty[/tex] as [tex]x\to -3^+[/tex]
[tex]f(x)\to -2[/tex] as [tex]x\to \infty[/tex]
Using all these key features, draw the graph of given function as shown below.

The Answer Is A.
Step-by-step explanation:
A triangular patch of grass in a park is bordered by walking paths. The longest path bordering the patch of grass measures 110 feet. The smallest path bordering the patch of grass measures 55 feet. The smallest angle formed by the paths bordering the patch of grass measures 29º.
What is the measure of the largest angle of the triangular patch of grass? Round your answer to the nearest
degree. Show all your work.
Answer:
76 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we can draw a picture. Two of the sides are 110 feet and 55 feet. In a triangle, the smallest angle is opposite the smallest side and vice versa. Therefore, if I have my triangle arranged in the way shown, the smallest angle of 29 degrees will be opposite of the smallest side of 55 feet.
The law of sines states that a/sinA=b/sinB=c/sinC , with corresponding angles being opposite of its corresponding side. Therefore, we can say that
55 feet/ sin(29 degrees) = 110 / sin(largest angle).
If we say that the largest angle is equal to x, we can say
55 / sin(29°) = 110/sin(x)
multiply both sides by x to remove a denominator
55 * sin(x)/ sin(29°) = 110
multiply both sides by sin(29°) to remove the other denominator
55 * sin(x) = 110 * sin(29°)
divide both sides by 55 to isolate the sin(x)
sin(x) = 110 * sin(29°) / 55
For an angle, if sin(x) = y, we can say that arcsin(y) = x. Therefore, we can say
x = arcsin(110 * sin(29°)/55)
x ≈ 76 degrees

A manager records the repair cost for 14 randomly selected dryers. A sample mean of $88.34 and standard deviation of $19.22 are subsequently computed. Determine the 90% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for the dryers. Assume the population is approximately normal. Step 1 of 2 : Find the critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval. Round your answer to three decimal places.
Answer:
Hence the 90% confidence interval estimate of the population mean is [tex](79.24 , 97.44)[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
Point estimate = sample mean = [tex]\bar x[/tex] = 88.34
sample standard deviation = s = 19.22
sample size = n = 14
Degrees of freedom = df = n - 1 = 13
Critical value =[tex]t\alpha /2,[/tex] df = 1.771
Margin of error
[tex]E = t\alpha/2,df \times (\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } )\\= 1.771 \times (19.22 / \sqrt 14)[/tex]
Margin of error = E = 9.10
The 90% confidence interval estimate of the population mean is,
[tex]\bar x - E < \mu < \bar x + E\\\\88.34 - 9.10 < \mu < 88.34 + 9.10\\\\79.24 < \mu < 97.44\\(79.24 , 97.44)[/tex]

Critical Thinking: Empirical/Quantitative Skills
United flight 15 from New York's JFK to San Francisco uses a Boeing 757-200 with 180 seats. Because some
people with tickets don't show up. United will overbook by selling more than 180 tickets. If the flight is not
overbooked, the airline will lose revenue due to empty seats, but if too many tickets are sold and some
passengers are denied seats, the airline loses money from the compensation that must be given to bumped
passengers. Assume that there is a 0.905 probability that a passenger with a ticket will show up for the
flight. Also assume that the airline sells 200 tickets for the 180 seats that are available.
1. When 200 tickets are sold, calculate the probability that exactly 180 passengers show up for the flight.
Show your calculation (i.e. what you put in the calculator) and round to 4 decimals.
2. When 200 tickets are sold, calculate the probability that at most 180 passengers show up for the flight.
Show your calculation (ie. what you put in the calculator) and round to 4 decimals.
3. When 200 tickets are sold, calculate the probability that more than 180 passengers show up for the flight.
Show your calculation (i.e. what you put in the calculator) and round to 4 decimals.
Answer:
1. 0.0910 = 9.10% probability that exactly 180 passengers show up for the flight.
2. 0.4522 = 45.22% probability that at most 180 passengers show up for the flight.
3. 0.5478 = 54.78% probability that more than 180 passengers show up for the flight.
Step-by-step explanation:
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
And p is the probability of X happening.
Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.
The expected value of the binomial distribution is:
[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]
The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:
[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]
Normal probability distribution
Problems of normally distributed distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that [tex]\mu = E(X)[/tex], [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}[/tex].
Assume that there is a 0.905 probability that a passenger with a ticket will show up for the flight.
This means that [tex]p = 0.905[/tex]
Also assume that the airline sells 200 tickets
This means that [tex]n = 200[/tex]
Question 1:
Exactly, so we can use the P(X = x) formula, to find P(X = 180).
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 180) = C_{200,180}.(0.905)^{180}.(0.095)^{20} = 0.0910[/tex]
0.0910 = 9.10% probability that exactly 180 passengers show up for the flight.
2. When 200 tickets are sold, calculate the probability that at most 180 passengers show up for the flight.
Now we have to use the approximation.
Mean and standard deviation:
[tex]\mu = E(X) = np = 200*0.905 = 181[/tex]
[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{200*0.905*0.095} = 4.15[/tex]
Using continuity correction, this is [tex]P(X \leq 180 + 0.5) = P(X \leq 180.5)[/tex], which is the p-value of Z when X = 180.5. Thus
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{180.5 - 181}{4.15}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.12[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.12[/tex] has a p-value of 0.4522.
0.4522 = 45.22% probability that at most 180 passengers show up for the flight.
3. When 200 tickets are sold, calculate the probability that more than 180 passengers show up for the flight.
Complementary event with at most 180 passengers showing up, which means that the sum of these probabilities is 1. So
[tex]p + 0.4522 = 1[/tex]
[tex]p = 1 - 0.4522 = 0.5478[/tex]
0.5478 = 54.78% probability that more than 180 passengers show up for the flight.

a tree 15m high casts a shadow 8m long. To the nearest degree what is the angle of elevation of the sun?
Answer:
Answered March 20, 2021
This is a right angle triangle where the hypotenuse a^2 = b^2 + c^2
= 15^2 + 8^2 = 225+64= 289
289= 17^2
17 = hypotenuse
The sine of an angle is the ratio of the shortest side to the hypotenuse
= 8/17= 0.4705
sine^-1 0.4705 = 28°
Please Help!! much appreciated! :D
Find the value of y.
In the largest triangle, the missing side has length
√((11 + 5)² - x ²) = √(256 - x ²)
But it's also the hypotenuse of the triangle with side lengths 11 and y, so that its length can also be written as
√(11² + y ²) = √(121 + y ²)
so that
√(256 - x ²) = √(121 + y ²)
or, by taking the squares of both sides,
256 - x ² = 121 + y ²
y ² = 135 - x ²
In the smallest triangle, you have
5² + y ² = x ² ==> x ² = 25 + y ²
Substitute this into the previous equation and solve for y :
y ² = 135 - (25 + y ²)
y ² = 110 - y ²
2y ² = 110
y ² = 55
y = √55
Two sides of a triangle have the same length. The third side measures 5 m less than twice the common length. The perimeter of the triangle is 23 m. What are the lengths of the three sides?
What is the length of the two sides that have the same length?
Answer:
Length of all 3 sides: 7, 7, and 9
Length of the two sides that have the same length: 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the two sides with equal lengths have a length of [tex]x[/tex]. We can write the third side as [tex]2x-5[/tex].
The perimeter of a polygon is equal to the sum of all its sides. Since the perimeter of the triangle is 23 meters, we have the following equation:
[tex]x+x+2x-5=23[/tex]
Combine like terms:
[tex]4x-5=23[/tex]
Add 5 to both sides:
[tex]4x=28[/tex]
Divide both sides by 4:
[tex]x=\frac{28}{4}=\boxed{7}[/tex]
Therefore, the three sides of the triangle are 7, 7, and 9 and the length of the two sides that have the same length is 7.
