btained.
Col1 Do you support capital punishment? Yes No No Opinion
Col2 Number of individuals 40 60 50

We are interested in determining whether or not the opinions of the individuals (as to Yes, No, and No Opinion) are uniformly distributed. The expected frequency for each group is

a. 1/3.
b. 0.333.
c. 50.
d. 0.50.

Answer:

Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

Sample size = 150

Number of Opinions = 3 (Yes, No, No Opinion)

Yes = 40

No = 60

No opinion = 50

We need to find the expected frequency for each group.

Expected frequency for each group is the quotient of sample size and number of opinions.

$\text{Expected frequency for each group}=\dfrac{\text{Sample size}}{\text{Number of Opinions}}$

$\text{Expected frequency for each group}=\dfrac{150}{3}$

$\text{Expected frequency for each group}=50$

Therefore, the correct option is C.

Express the volume of the box as a<br>polynomial in the variable x

Whitepunk [10]

The volume of the box as a polynomial in the variable x is x(12 - 2x)(7 - 2x)

<h3>How to determine the volume?</h3>

The complete question is added as an attachment

From the attached image, we have:

Length = 12 - 2x

Width = 7 - 2x

Height = x

The volume is calculated as:

Volume = Length * Width * Height

Substitute the known values in the above equation

Volume = (12 - 2x) * (7 - 2x) * x

This gives

Volume = x(12 - 2x)(7 - 2x)

Hence, the volume of the box as a polynomial in the variable x is x(12 - 2x)(7 - 2x)

What is the answer to 5/8 . 2/7 and what does the dot stand for the dot is actually a little higher

Illusion [34]

First, the dot stands for the "product". You have to multiply.

5/8* 2/7
= [5/ (2*4)]* (2/7)
= 5/4* 1/7 (because 2 and 2 cancel out)
= (5*1)/ (4*7)
= 5/28

The final answer is 5/28~

The point P(7, −2) lies on the curve y = 2/(6 − x). (a) If Q is the point (x, 2/(6 − x)), use your calculator to find the slope

NARA [144]

Answer:

a) (i) $m = 2.22$ , (ii) $m = 2$ , (iii) $m = 2$ , (iv) $m = 2$ , (v) $m = 1.82$ , (vi) $m = 2$ , (vii) $m = 2$ , (viii) $m = 2$ ; b) $m \approx 2$ ; c) The equation of the tangent line to curve at P (7, -2) is $y = 2\cdot x + 12$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The slope of the secant line PQ is represented by the following definition of slope:

$m = \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} = \frac{y_{Q}-y_{P}}{x_{Q}-x_{P}}$

(i) $x_{Q} = 6.9$ :

$y_{Q} =\frac{2}{6-6.9}$

$y_{Q} = -2.222$

$m = \frac{-2.222 + 2}{6.9-7}$

$m = 2.22$

(ii) $x_{Q} = 6.99$

$y_{Q} =\frac{2}{6-6.99}$

$y_{Q} = -2.020$

$m = \frac{-2.020 + 2}{6.99-7}$

$m = 2$

(iii) $x_{Q} = 6.999$

$y_{Q} =\frac{2}{6-6.999}$

$y_{Q} = -2.002$

$m = \frac{-2.002 + 2}{6.999-7}$

$m = 2$

(iv) $x_{Q} = 6.9999$

$y_{Q} =\frac{2}{6-6.9999}$

$y_{Q} = -2.0002$

$m = \frac{-2.0002 + 2}{6.9999-7}$

$m = 2$

(v) $x_{Q} = 7.1$

$y_{Q} =\frac{2}{6-7.1}$

$y_{Q} = -1.818$

$m = \frac{-1.818 + 2}{7.1-7}$

$m = 1.82$

(vi) $x_{Q} = 7.01$

$y_{Q} =\frac{2}{6-7.01}$

$y_{Q} = -1.980$

$m = \frac{-1.980 + 2}{7.01-7}$

$m = 2$

(vii) $x_{Q} = 7.001$

$y_{Q} =\frac{2}{6-7.001}$

$y_{Q} = -1.998$

$m = \frac{-1.998 + 2}{7.001-7}$

$m = 2$

(viii) $x_{Q} = 7.0001$

$y_{Q} =\frac{2}{6-7.0001}$

$y_{Q} = -1.9998$

$m = \frac{-1.9998 + 2}{7.0001-7}$

$m = 2$

b) The slope at P (7,-2) can be estimated by using the following average:

$m \approx \frac{f(6.9999)+f(7.0001)}{2}$

$m \approx \frac{2+2}{2}$

$m \approx 2$

The slope of the tangent line to the curve at P(7, -2) is 2.

c) The equation of the tangent line is a first-order polynomial with the following characteristics:

$y = m\cdot x + b$

Where:

$x$ - Independent variable.

$y$ - Depedent variable.

$m$ - Slope.

$b$ - x-Intercept.

The slope was found in point (b) (m = 2). Besides, the point of tangency (7,-2) is known and value of x-Intercept can be obtained after clearing the respective variable:

$-2 = 2 \cdot 7 + b$

$b = -2 + 14$

$b = 12$

The equation of the tangent line to curve at P (7, -2) is $y = 2\cdot x + 12$ .
