How to solve and figure it out

Mathematics

Vilka [71]4 years ago

So your equation is currently in point-slope form; however, to figure out the slope and y-intercept, you'd be better off in slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

while in point-slope form, y - y1 = m(x - x1), you can definitely see the slope as -5, you can't see the y-intercept as easily. x-intercepts are actually the solutions/zeros of a function, and it was included in the answer choices to confuse you.

you're correct about -5 being a decreasing slope. but to figure out the y-intercept, you need to convert to slope-intercept form.

y - 4 = -5(x + 1)  ... distribute the -5
y - 4 = -5x - 5  ... add 4
y = -5x - 1

and in the form of y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, you can see that you have a decreasing slope of -5 and a y-intercept of -1. your correct answer is A. choices C and D were thrown in to distract you and make you think that the -5(x + 1) was somehow related to discovering the x-intercept.

Jonah wants to construct a confidence interval using 90% confidence to estimate what proportion of silicon wafers at his factory
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

170

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

The margin of error is of:

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

Assume:

\pi = 0.06

90% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.1, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.1}{2} = 0.95, so Z = 1.645.

What is the smallest sample size required to obtain the desired margin of error?

This is n for which M = 0.03. So

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

0.03 = 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.06*0.94}{n}}

0.03\sqrt{n} = 1.645\sqrt{0.06*0.94}

\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.645\sqrt{0.06*0.94}}{0.03}

(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.645\sqrt{0.06*0.94}}{0.03})^2

n = 169.6

Rounding up, 170.
