Given: The information provided in the table shown

To Determine: From the options provided, the correct option that best describe the information given in the table

Solution

Given that 28% of the children used toothpaste. From the table

$Children(toothpaste)=\frac{0.07}{0.25}=\frac{7}{25}\times100=28\%$

Let us calculate the percentage of adult that used toothpaste

$Adult(toothpaste)=\frac{0.08}{0.75}=\frac{8}{75}\times100=10.667\%\approx11\%$

Hence, a smaller percentage of adults (about 11%) use the toothpaste.

The correct option is OPTION C

Answer:

AN = 16 units

Step-by-step explanation:

So we can use the fact that $\frac{AN}{FN} =\frac{OR}{FR}$

Since this is an isosceles triangle, segments FO and FR are both equal to 7

Manipulating the equation above to solve for AN we have $AN = \frac{(FN)(OR)}{FR}$

Substituting in the known values we have $AN=\frac{(10)(11.2)}{7} =16$

The brand manager for a brand toothpaste must plan a campaign designed to increase brand recognition. He wants to first determin

bulgar [2K]

We need to find out how many adults must the brand manager survey in order to be 90% confident that his estimate is within five percentage points of the true population percentage.

From the given data we know that our confidence level is 90%. From Standard Normal Table we know that the critical level at 90% confidence level is 1.645. In other words, $Z_{Critical}=1.645$ .

We also know that E=5% or E=0.05

Also, since, $\hat{p}$ is not given, we will assume that $\hat{p}$ =0.5. This is because, the formula that we use will have $\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})$ in the expression and that will be maximum only when $\hat{p}$ =0.5. (For any other value of $\hat{p}$ , we will get a value less than 0.25. For example if, $\hat{p}$ is 0.4, then $1-\hat{p}=0.6$ and thus, $\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})=0.24$ .).

We will now use the formula

$n=(\frac{Z_{Critical}}{E})^2\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})$

We will now substitute all the data that we have and we will get

$n=(\frac{1.645}{0.05})^2\times0.5(1-0.5)$

$n=(32.9)^2\times0.25$

$n=270.6025$

which can approximated to n=271.

So, the brand manager needs a sample size of 271

Evaluate the expression if r = 12 and t = -6.<br> (t-r)/3

Lynna [10]

Answer:

-6

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{(t-r)}{3}$

input the numbers

$\frac{(-6-12)}{3}$

do the problem in the parentheses first

-6-12 = -18

now it becomes

$-\frac{18}{3}$

simplify and you'll get

-6

this is because -18 ÷ 3 =

-6

What is the oblique asymptote of the function f(x) x^2+x-2/x+1

Mamont248 [21]

$f(x)=\displaystyle\frac{x^2+x-2}{x+1}=\frac{x(x+1)-2}{x+1}=x-\frac{2}{x+1}
$

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to\infty}\left\{f(x)-x \right\}=\lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{2}{x+1}=\lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{\displaystyle\frac{2}{x}}{1+\displaystyle\frac{1}{x}}
=0$

Consequently, t<span>he limit of $f(x)$ as x approaches infinity is $x$ .

In other words, $f(x)$ approaches the line y=x,

so oblique asymptote is y=x.
