Given:
p = 7.6% = 0.076, the percentage of people who stay overnight at the hospital.
E = 1.5% = 0.015, margin of error
95% confidence interval.

The standard error is 
Es = \sqrt{ \frac{p(1-p)}{n} }
where 
n =  the sample size.

The margin of error is
E=z^{*}E_{s}
where
z* = 1.96 at the 95% confidence level.

Because the margin of error is given, there is no need to calculate it.
The 95% confidence interval is
p +/- E = 0.076 +/- 0.015 = (0.061, 0.091) = (6.1%, 9.1%)

Answer: 
The 95% confidence interval is between 6.1% and 9.1%.

Answer:

subtract 7 from both sides

2x < 7- 7

subtract 7 from 7 to get 0

2x < 0

product of two numbers is < 0 if one is > 0 and the other is < 0. since 2> 0, must be < 0.

x < 0

The diagonals of a parallelogram are 24 meters and 40 meters and
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

  28 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The longer side can be found using the Law of Cosines. The semi-diagonals are of length 12 and 20 m, and the angle between them facing the long side is 180° -60° = 120°.

  c^2 = a^2 +b^2 -2ab·cos(C)

  c^2 = 12^2 +20^2 -2·12·20·cos(120°) = 144 +400 +240 = 784

  c = √784 = 28

The longer side is 28 meters.
