700-175=525
525:35=15

Answer:

15 weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent number of weeks.

We have been given that Kalon can save $35 per week, so amount saved in w weeks would be $35w$ .

Kalon has $175, so total amount saved by Kalon after w weeks would be $35w+175$ .

Since Kalon needs to save at least $700 for a new computer, so his total savings should be greater than or equal to 700.

We can represent this information in an inequality as:

$35w+175\geq 700$

$35w+175-175\geq 700-175$

$35w\geq 525$

$\frac{35w}{35}\geq \frac{525}{35}$

$w\geq 15$

Therefore, Kalon will have to save at-least for 15 weeks to reach his goal.

Answer:

And we got $\alpha/2 =0.01$ so then the value for $\alpha=0.02$ and then the confidence level is given by: $Conf=1-0.02=0.98[/tex[ or 98%Step-by-step explanation:A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval". The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval. Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean". [tex]p_1$ represent the real population proportion for 1

$\hat p_1 =0.768$ represent the estimated proportion for 1

$n_1=92$ is the sample size required for 1

$p_2$ represent the real population proportion for 2

$\hat p_2 =0.646$ represent the estimated proportion for 2

$n_2=95$ is the sample size required for 2

$z$ represent the critical value for the margin of error

The population proportion have the following distribution

$p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})$

The confidence interval for the difference of two proportions would be given by this formula

$(\hat p_1 -\hat p_2) \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1(1-\hat p_1)}{n_1} +\frac{\hat p_2 (1-\hat p_2)}{n_2}}$

For this case we have the confidence interval given by: (-0.0313,0.2753). From this we can find the margin of erro on this way:

$ME= \frac{0.2753-(-0.0313)}{2}=0.1533$

And we know that the margin of erro is given by:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1(1-\hat p_1)}{n_1} +\frac{\hat p_2 (1-\hat p_2)}{n_2}}$

We have all the values except the value for $z_{\alpha/2}$

So we can find it like this:

$0.1533=z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{0.768(1-0.768)}{92} +\frac{0.646 (1-0.646)}{95}}$

And solving for $z_{\alpha/2}$ we got:

$z_{\alpha/2}=2.326$

And we can find the value for $\alpha/2$ with the following excel code:

"=1-NORM.DIST(2.326,0,1,TRUE)"

And we got $\alpha/2 =0.01$ so then the value for $\alpha=0.02$ and then the confidence level is given by: $Conf=1-0.02=0.98$ or 98%

What are the solutions of the quadratic equation?

ANEK [815]

In this proble, we are asked to determine the roots of the quadratic equation x^2 + 11 x = -24. The standard form is x^2 + 11 x + 24 = 0. the second term is the negative sum of the roots and the third terms is the equal to the product of the roots.Hence the roots should be -3 and -8.
