Answer:

The estimate for the proportion of people who were caught after being on the 10 Most Wanted list is 0.37.

Step-by-step explanation:

The estimate for the proportion of people who were caught after being on the 10 Most Wanted list is the number of people caught divided by the sample size.

In this question:

149 captured in a sample of 403.

149/403 = 0.37

The estimate for the proportion of people who were caught after being on the 10 Most Wanted list is 0.37.

Which is the equation of the parabola?
mestny [16]

Answer:

  • y = -1/20(x + 3)²

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Consider the parent function:</u>

  • y = x²

The graph of the function open up and the vertex is at the origin, the point (0, 0)

Now, if it opens down, it means it is a reflection of the parent function over x axis, hence it has a negative coefficient, the function becomes:

  • y = -x²

The vertex is shifted to the point (-3, 0). It means the function also translated left by 3 units, the function becomes:

  • y = -(x + 3)²

<u>Since all the options have 1/20 as a coefficient, our function is:</u>

  • y = -1/20(x + 3)²

This is option B
