Hi!

___________________________________________________________

$\rightsquigarrow\circ\boldsymbol{Answer}\circ\leftharpoonup$

#1 7(2w+3)

#2 9(3x+2)

$\rightsquigarrow\circ\boldsymbol{Explanation}\circ\leftharpoonup$

We need to factor these two expressions.

$\twoheadrightarrow\sf 14w+21$ and $\twoheadrightarrow\sf 27x+18$

For now let's focus on the first expression.

Note that both terms, 14w and 21, have something in common.

In fact, they have 7 in common. So we factor it out by dividing 14w and 21 by 7.

$\twoheadrightarrow\sf14w\div7=2x\\\twoheadrightarrow\sf21\div7=3$

$\bullet$ Put the terms together, with a plus sign in between since they are positive

$\twoheadrightarrow\sf 2w+3$

$\bullet$ Put parentheses around 2w+3

$\twoheadrightarrow\sf (2w+3)$

$\bullet$ Put7 outside the parentheses

$\twoheadrightarrow\sf7(2w+3)$

$\bullet$ Great job! We factored the expression

__________________________________________________________

This problem can be solved the same way!

This time, both terms have a 9 in common.

$\twoheadrightarrow\sf 27x+18$

So we divide both terms by 9.

$\twoheadrightarrow\sf 27x\div9=3x\\\twoheadrightarrow\sf18\div9=2$

$\bullet$ Put the terms together, with a plus sign in between since they're positive

$\twoheadrightarrow\sf 3x+2$

$\bullet$ Next, put parentheses around 3x+2 and put 9 outside the parentheses

$\twoheadrightarrow\sf 9(3x+2)$

$\bullet$ Great job! We factored both expressions

Hope that this helped! Best wishes.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 14w + 21

- Factor out 7 from the expression

7 (2w + 3)

b) 27x + 18

- Factor out 9 from the expression

9 (3x + 2)

g In a certain rural county, a public health researcher spoke with 111 residents 65-years or older, and 28 of them had obtained

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

95% confidence interval for the percent of the 65-plus population that were getting the flu shot is [0.169 , 0.331].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that in a certain rural county, a public health researcher spoke with 111 residents 65-years or older, and 28 of them had obtained a flu shot.

Firstly, the Pivotal quantity for 95% confidence interval for the population proportion is given by;

P.Q. = $\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\hat p$ = sample proportion of residents 65-years or older who had obtained a flu shot = $\frac{28}{111}$ = 0.25

n = sample of residents 65-years or older = 111

p = population proportion of residents who were getting the flu shot

Here for constructing 95% confidence interval we have used One-sample z test for proportions.

So, 95% confidence interval for the population proportion, p is ;

P(-1.96 < N(0,1) < 1.96) = 0.95 {As the critical value of z at 2.5% level

of significance are -1.96 & 1.96}

P(-1.96 < $\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ < 1.96) = 0.95

P( $-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ < ${\hat p-p}$ < $1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ) = 0.95

P( $\hat p-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ < p < $\hat p+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ) = 0.95

95% confidence interval for p = [ $\hat p-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ , $\hat p+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ]

= [ $0.25-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.25(1-0.25)}{111} } }$ , $0.25+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.25(1-0.25)}{111} } }$ ]

= [0.169 , 0.331]

Therefore, 95% confidence interval for the percent of the 65-plus population that were getting the flu shot is [0.169 , 0.331].

Rearrange the equation so r is the independent variable. 10q - 5r = 30

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

q = 3 + 1/2r

Step-by-step explanation:

10q - 5r = 30

We want to solve for q

Add 5r to each side

10q - 5r+5r = 30+5r

10q = 30+5r

Divide by 10

10q/10 = 30/10 +5r/10

q = 3 + 1/2r
