Box = b
Parrots = p
b/p = number of days it can support the parrots
Half a dozen = 6 (A dozen is 12)
1/6 = 15
To work out the percentage of '6' '5' is, use the equation
(5/6)*100 = 83.333....
Meaning that with one less bird, the box will support the birds for 16.666... (100 - 18.333...) longer
(15/100)*116.666... = 17.4999....
The box will sustain the parrots for 17.5 days

A researcher wants to construct a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of elementary school students in Seward County who
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

The sample  size is  n =68

Step-by-step explanation:

    The population proportion is  \^ p =  0.50

     The margin of error is  E =  0.1

From the question we are told the confidence level is  90% , hence the level of significance is    

      \alpha = (100 - 90 ) \%

=>   \alpha = 0.10

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value  of  \frac{\alpha }{2} is  

   Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  1.645

Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as  

    n = [\frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }}{E} ]^2 * \^ p (1 - \^ p )

=>  n = [\frac{1.645 }{0.1} ]^2 * 0.50  (1 - 0.50 )

=>  n =68

What are the excluded values of x for x+4/-3x^2+12x+36
LekaFEV [45]
I will assume that you meant:

(x+4)/(-3x^2+12x+36)  factor the denominator...

(x+4)/(-3(x^2-4x-12))

To factor a quadratic of the form ax^2+bx+c you need to find two values, j and k, which satisfy two conditions...

jk=ac=-12 and j+k=b=-4 so j and k must be 2 and -6 and the factors are then:

(x+2)(x-6) so we are now left with:

(x+4)/(-3(x+2)(x-6))

The only restriction on this function is that division by zero is undefined, so x cannot equal -2 or 6
