Answer: 16

<u>Explanation:</u>

x² - kx + 64

Since we are looking for a perfect square, then we need to take the square root of 64 to find the factors: √64 = 8

So, the factors are: (x - 8)(x - 8)

Foil (or distribute) to get: x² - 16x + 64 <em>The k-value is 16</em>

Answer:

6.04 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Corbin want's to make a model, in which every 100 feet would be shown by 1 inch.

The monument is 604 feet in height.

Divide 604 with 100:

604/100 = 6.04

The height of Corbin's model would thereby be 6.04 inches.

Answer:

(0.3798, 0.4602)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p be the true proportion of US adults who believe raising the minimum wage will help the economy. A point estimate for p is $\hat{p}=0.42$ and a good aproximation (because we have a large sample) for the standard deviation of $\hat{p}$ is $\sqrt{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})/n}=\sqrt{0.42(0.58)/1000}=0.0156$ . Therefore, a 99% confidence interval for p is given by $\hat{p}\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}$ where $\alpha=0.01$ and $z_{\alpha/2}$ is the $\alpha/2$ th quantile of the standard normal distribution, so we have, $0.42\pm z_{0.005}0.0156$ , i.e., $0.42\pm(-2.5758)(0.0156)$ or equivalently (0.3798, 0.4602).
