<span>The <u>correct answer</u> is:

A) 60% ± 18%.

Explanation:

In a confidence interval, the margin of error is given by z*(</span>σ/√n<span>), where </span>σ<span> is the standard deviation and n is the sample size.

First we <u>find the value of z</u>:

We want a 95% confidence level; 95% = 95/100 = 0.95.

To find the z-score, we first subtract this from 1:
1-0.95 = 0.05.

Divide by 2:
0.05/2 = 0.025.

Subtract from 1 again:
1-0.025 = 0.975.

Using a z-table, we find this value in the middle of the table. The z-score that is associated with this value is 1.96.

Back to our formula for margin of error, we have 1.96(</span>σ<span>/</span>√n<span>). The larger n, the sample size, is, the larger its square root is. When we divide by a larger number, our answer is smaller; this gives us a smaller margin of error.

This means that if we had a small sample size, we would divide by a smaller number, making our margin of error larger. The largest margin of error we have in this question is 18%, so this is our correct answer.</span>

Jennifer went to the post office for stamps. She bought the same number of 8-cent stamps and 10-cent stamps. She also bought as
mamaluj [8]
Write it out as a set of equation:
Let x be number of 8 cent stamps, y be 10 cent stamps, and z be 2 cent stamps.
x=y
z=x+y
8x+10y+2z=440
Lets first solve for x:
from x=y and z=2x(from first equation) the last equation is
8x+10x+4x=440
22x=440
x=20
know that x=20, you also know that y=20 as well, since z=x+y, z=40.
So 20 8-cent stamps, 20 10-cent stamps, and 40 2-cent stamps.

Which of the following shows the correct match of the box numbers and the genotype of the offspring?
fredd [130]
Technically a biology question but if you create the chart all 4 types will be Tt because the Male has the genotype of TT so they will each have a large T in each box (like making a multiplication table). and the female has tt so the only possibility is a large T with a small t in all four squares because there are both homogenous genotypes.  (the bottom-most answer is the correct answer)

1. Write an equation in slope-intercept form for a line passing through (-3,3) with a slope of 1.
PIT_PIT [208]

1)


\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{3})~\hspace{10em} slope = m\implies 1 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-3=1[x-(-3)] \\\\\\ y-3=1(x+3)\implies y-3=x+3\implies y=x+6


2)


\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{2})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{12}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{12-2}{1-(-4)}\implies \cfrac{10}{1+4}\implies \cfrac{10}{5}\implies 2 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-2=2[x-(-4)]\implies y-2=2(x+4) \\\\\\ y-2=2x+8\implies y=2x+10
