In the week before and the week after a holiday there were 10,000 total deaths and 4968 of them occurred in the week before the

holiday.
a) construct a 90% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of deaths in the week before the holiday to the total death in the week before and the week after the holiday

b) based on the result does there appear to be any indication that people can temporarily postpone their death to survive the holiday

CI = mean proportion ± (z*)sqrt[ (p)(1-p) / n]
where z* = 1.645 with 10%/2 = 0.05 area in each tail mean proportion p = 4946 / 10000 = 0.4946 now fill in the values from the problem ...
 CI = mean proportion ± (z*)sqrt[ (p)(1-p) / n]
 CI = 0.4946 ± (1.645)sqrt[ (0.4946)(1- 0.4946) / 10000]
 CI = (0.4864, 0.5028)

A dog chases a squirrel. The dog is originally 200 feet away from the squirrel. The dog's speed is 150 feet per minute. The squi
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

15 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

If you make a table of values for the dog and the squirrel using d = rt, then the rates are easy:  the dog's rate is 150 and the squirrel's is 100.  The t is what we are looking for, so that's our unknown, and the distance is a bit tricky, but let's look at what we know:  the dog is 200 feet behind the squirrel, so when the dog catches up to the squirrel, he has run some distance d plus the 200 feet to catch up.  Since we don't know what d is, we will just call it d!  Now it seems as though we have 2 unknowns which is a problem.  However, if we solve both equations (the one for the dog and the one for the squirrel) for t, we can set them equal to each other.  Here's the dog's equation:

d = rt

d+200 = 150t

And the squirrel's:

d = 100t

If we solve both for t and set them equal to each other we have:

\frac{150}{d+200} =\frac{100}{d}

Now we can cross multiply to solve for d:

150d = 100d + 20,000 and

50d = 20,000

d = 400

But we're not looking for the distance the squirrel traveled before the dog caught it, we are looking for how long it took.  So sub that d value back into one of the equations we have solved for t and do the math:

t=\frac{100}{d}=\frac{100}{400} =\frac{1}{4}

That's 1/4 of a minute which is 15 seconds.

(7p^(2)+3p)-(5p^(2)+4)<br> solve for standard form and show how you got it
inna [77]

\huge \boxed{\mathfrak{Question} \downarrow}

  • ( 7 p ^ { 2 } + 3 p ) - ( 5 p ^ { 2 } + 4 ). Solve for standard form.

\large \boxed{\mathfrak{Answer \: with \: Explanation} \downarrow}

( 7 p ^ { 2 } + 3 p ) - ( 5 p ^ { 2 } + 4 )

To find the opposite of 5p²+4, find the opposite of each term inside the bracket.

7p^{2}+3p-5p^{2}-4

Combine 7p² and -5p² to get 2p².

\boxed{ \boxed{ \bf \: 2p^{2}+3p-4 }}

Solve for x &amp; y: x^2+y^2=20. 3x+y=2
Norma-Jean [14]
You're solving a system here, easy peasy. Solve the second equation for y to get y = 2 - 3x. Now in the first equation, sub in this y value where you see a y and now the equation is in terms of x only: x^2 + (2-3x)^2 = 20. You have to FOIL out the (2-3x)^2 first to get x^2 + 4 - 12x + 9x^2 = 20. Now combine like terms to get 10x^2 - 12x + 4 = 20. Move the 20 over by subtraction to get
10x^2 - 12x - 16 = 0. Factor this now, taking a 2 out first: 2(5x^2 - 6x -8)=0 and you get factors of 2(x-2)(5x+4)=0. x=2 or x = -4/5. If x = 2, then y = -4. If x = -4/5, then y = 22/5
