​(Round to one decimal place as​ needed.)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 272 used at least one prescription​ medication.

b) The 90% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of adults aged 57 through 85 years who use at least one prescription medication is (85.6%, 87.6%).

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

86.6% out of 3149, so:

0.866*3149 = 2727.

272 used at least one prescription​ medication.

Question b:

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].

For this problem, we have that:

[tex]n = 3149, \pi = 0.866[/tex]

90% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.1[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.1}{2} = 0.95[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.645[/tex].  

The lower limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.866 - 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.866*0.134}{3149}} = 0.856[/tex]

The upper limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.866 + 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.866*0.134}{3149}} = 0.876[/tex]

For the percentage:

0.856*100% = 85.6%

0.876*100% = 87.6%.

The 90% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of adults aged 57 through 85 years who use at least one prescription medication is (85.6%, 87.6%).

Answer 2

The number of subjects in the study who used at least one prescription medication is 2727 approx. The needed 90% confidence interval is:  [0.8560, 0.8758] or in percentage as: 85.6% to 87.58%

How to construct confidence interval for population proportion based on the sample proportion?

Suppose that we have:

n = sample size[tex]\hat{p}[/tex] = sample proportion[tex]\alpha[/tex] = level of significance = 1 - confidence interval  = 100 - confidence interval in percentage

Then, we get:

[tex]CI = \hat{p} \pm Z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}[/tex]

where [tex]Z_{\alpha/2}[/tex] is the critical value of Z at specified level of significance and is obtainable from its critical value table(available online or in some books)

For this case, we have:

n = 3149confidence interval is of 90%[tex]\alpha[/tex] = level of significance  = 100 - 90% = 10% = 0..10[tex]\hat{p}[/tex] = sample proportion = ratio of 86.6% of n to n (at the least)

Part (a):

The number of subjects used at least one prescription​ medication is:

[tex]\dfrac{3149}{100} \times 86.6 \approx 2727[/tex]

Thus, the sample proportion we get is:

[tex]\hat{p} = \dfrac{2727}{3149} \approx 0.8659[/tex]

For level of significance 0.10, we get: [tex]Z_{\alpha/2} = 1.645[/tex]

Thus, the confidence interval needed is:

[tex]CI = \hat{p} \pm Z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}\\CI \approx 0.8659\pm 1.645 \times \sqrt{\dfrac{0.8659(1-0.8659)}{3149}}\\\\\\CI \approx 0.8659 \pm 0.0099[/tex]

Thus, CI is [0.8659 - 0.0099, 0.8659 + 0.0099] = [0.8560, 0.8758]

Thus, the number of subjects in the study who used at least one prescription medication is 2727 approx. The needed 90% confidence interval is:  [0.8560, 0.8758] or in percentage as: 85.6% to 87.58%

Part (a)

Answer:   Ø

------------------

Explanation:

It doesn't matter what set A is composed of. Intersecting any set with the empty set Ø will always result in the empty set.

This is because we're asking the question: "What does some set A and the empty set have in common?". The answer of course being "nothing" because there's nothing in Ø. Not even the value zero is in this set.

We can write Ø as { } which is a set of curly braces with nothing inside it.

Part (b)

Answer:  {1,2,3,4,5,6}

-----------------

Explanation:

When you union the universal set with any other set, you'll get the universal set.

The rule is [tex]A \cup B = B[/tex] where I've made B the universal set to avoid confusion of the letter U and the union symbol [tex]\cup[/tex] which looks nearly identical.

Why does this rule work? Well if an item is in set [tex]\overline{A}[/tex], then it's automatically in set U (everything is in set U; it's the universe). So we're not adding anything to the universe when applying a union involving this largest set.

It's like saying

A = set of stuff inside a persons house[tex]\overline{A}[/tex] = set of stuff outside a persons house (ie stuff that is not in set A)U = set of every item

we can see that [tex]\overline{A} \cup U[/tex] will basically form the set of every item, aka the universal set.

Hi hopefully this helps you!

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a circle you can use the formula A = πr^2

The radius of a circle is just the diameter divided by 2. In this case we know the diameter is 3, so the radius is 1.5

A = π(1.5)^2

   = 7.07

Because this is a semicircle, divide this area by 2

   = 3.53429 in^2

Add up the area of this semi circle with the area of the rectangle

A = (3.53429) + (3x4)

   = 15.53429 in^2

To find the circumference/ perimeter of a circle use this formula C = 2πR

C = 2π(1.5)

   = 9.42478 inches

Again because this is a semicircle, divide by 2

   = 9.42478 / 2

   = 4.71239 inches

To find the perimeter of this entire shape add up the circumference of the semicircle and the rectangle's sides and bottom

P = 4.71239 + 4 + 4 + 3

  = 15.71239 inches

So the final answer would be

A = 15.53 squared inches

P = 15.71 inches

Select two choices that are true about the function f(x)=23x+14/x

Answers

Answer:

There is an asymptote at x = 0

There is an asymptote at y = 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function:

(23x+14)/x

Vertical asymptote is gotten by equating the denominator to zero

Since the denominator is x, hence the vertical asymptote is at x = 0. This shows that there is an asymptote at x = 0

Also for the horizontal asymptote, we will take the ratio of the coefficient of the variables in the numerator and denominator

Coefficient of  x at the numerator = 23

Coefficient of x at the denominator = 1

Ratio = 23/1 = 23

This means that there is an asymptote at y = 23

Answer:

528 cm squared

Step-by-step explanation:

A parallelogram (slanted shape at the bottom) is essentially the same area as a rectangle.

Therefore, both shapes have the same measurements.

Multiply the length and height of the rectangle to get its area: 22cm×12cm =264cm squared

Since the area of the rectangle corresponds geometrically to the area of the parallelogram, just multiply the area of the rectangle (264cm squared), by 2.

So 264×2, = 528cm squared

A recipe for eight flapjacks needs 2oz of butter, 3oz of sugar, and 4 oz of rolled oats. How many flapjacks can I make if I have 14 oz of butter, 15 oz of sugar, and 16 oz of rolled oats?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Eight flapjacks

2oz of butter

3oz of sugar

4 oz of rolled oats.

Each flapjack

Butter = 2/8 = 1/4 oz

Sugar = 3/8 oz

Rolled oats = 4/8 = 1/2 oz

How many flapjacks can I make if I have

14 oz of butter,

15 oz of sugar, and

16 oz of rolled oats?

Butter

= 14 oz ÷ 1/8 oz

= 14 × 8/1

= 112 flapjack

Sugar

= 15 oz ÷ 3/8 oz

= 15 × 8/3

= 120/3

= 40 flapjacks

Rolled oats

16 oz ÷ 1/2 oz

= 16 × 2/1

= 32 flapjack

Therefore,

Considering the quantity of rolled oats available, the number of flapjacks that could be made is 32

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto -2+y=-8[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto y=-8+2[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto y=-6[/tex]

Answer:

(- 1, - 6 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given endpoints (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) then the midpoint is

( [tex]\frac{x_{1}+x_{2} }{2}[/tex] , [tex]\frac{y_{1}+y_{2} }{2}[/tex] ) ← midpoint formula

Use this formula on the endpoints and equate to the coordinates of the midpoint.

let the other endpoint = (x, y) , then

[tex]\frac{13+x}{2}[/tex] = 6 ( multiply both sides by 2 )

13 + x = 12 ( subtract 13 from both sides )

x = - 1

[tex]\frac{-2+y}{2}[/tex] = - 4 ( multiply both sides by 2 )

- 2 + y = - 8 ( add 2 to both sides )

y = - 6

The coordinates of the other endpoint are (- 1, - 6 )

The points A,B,C and D divide the line segment AD in the ratio 4:3:1 , respectively , and AD = 72cm . What is the length of BD?

Answers

Segment addition postulate states that given points X, and Z, on a line, a point Y, can be located between X, and Z, ony if we have;

XZ = XY + YZ

The length of the segment BD is 36  cm

The reason the above value is correct is as follows:

Known:

The ratio in which the points A, B, C, and D divide the line segment = 4:3:1

The length of segment AD = 72 cm

Required:

The length of BD

Method:

Calculate the length of BC and CD and add their values to get BD

Solution:

Let the ratios be given unit proportions of the segment AD such that we have;

AB = 4 units

BC = 3 units

CD = 1 unit

By segment addition postulate, we have;

AD = AB + BC + CD

∴ AD = 4 units + 3 units + 1 unit = 8 units = 72 cm

∴ 1 unit = 72 cm/8 = 9 cm

1 unit = 9 cm

BD = BC + CD by segment addition postulate

BC = 3 units = 3 × 1 unit

∴ BC = 3 × 9 cm = 27 cm

BC = 27 cm

CD = 1 unit

∴ CD = 9 cm

∴ BD = 27 cm + 9 cm = 36 cm

The length of segment BD = 36 cm
