Need help!!! solve for p) n = (p-k) ------ j Sorry for the terrible fraction

almond37 [142]

Answer:

nj +k = p

Step-by-step explanation:

n = (p-k)/j

Multiply each side by j

nj = (p-k)/j *j

nj = p-k

Add k to each side

nj +k p-k+k

nj +k = p

Calculate the number of subsets and the number of proper subsets for the set.

arlik [135]

A set of n elements has 2ⁿ subsets. One of these subsets is the set itself, so this set would have 2ⁿ - 1 proper subsets.

The given set has 4 elements, so it has 2⁴ = 16 subsets and 2⁴ - 1 = 15 proper subsets.

Just to illustrate the claim, we have

• subsets of size 0 (1 of these):

{ } (empty set)

• subsets of size 1 (4 of these):

{1/6}, {1/7}, {1/8}, {1/9}

• subsets of size 2 (6 of these):

{1/6, 1/7}, {1/6, 1/8}, {1/6, 1/9}, {1/7, 1/8}, {1/7, 1/9}, {1/8, 1/9}

• subsets of size 3 (4 of these):

{1/6, 1/7, 1/8}, {1/6, 1/7, 1/9}, {1/6, 1/8, 1/9}, {1/7, 1/8, 1/9}

• subsets of size 4 (1 of these):

{1/6, 1/7, 1/8, 1/9}

and the last one is the only subset that is not a proper subset, because that subset = the set.

A florist has to pay $7.50 each time a customer chooses a competitor for the delivery of flowers. Which expression shows the amo

Veronika [31]

Answer: $320 - $7.50p

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, the expression that shows the amount that the florist earns if p people use a competitor for delivery, and the company makes $320.00 before any payment is made to their competitors will be:

= $320 - $7.50p

where,

$320 = revenue made before any payment

$7.50 = amount paid for a customer choosing a competitor

p = number of customers

A survey of 1 comma 558 randomly selected adults showed that 522 of them have heard of a new electronic reader. The accompanying

sineoko [7]

Answer with explanation:

Let p be the proportion of adults have heard of the new electronic reader.

Given claim : The accompanying technology display results from a test of the claim that 38% of adults have heard of the new electronic reader.

i.e. $p=0.38$

Then , the set of hypothesis will be :-

$H_0: p=0.38\\\\H_a:p\neq0.38$

Since, the alternative hypothesis is two tailed , so the test is two-tailed test.

Also, it is given that the sample size : $n=1558$

Number of adults showed that they have heard of a new electronic reader=522

So the sample proportion for adults have heard of the new electronic reader : $\hat{p}=\dfrac{522}{1558}\approx0.34$

The test statistic for proportion is given by :-

$z=\dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}\\\\\\\Rightarrow\ z=\dfrac{0.34-0.38}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.38(1-0.38)}{1558}}}\\\\\\\Rightarrow\ z=-3.25279036541\approx-3.25$

By using standard normal distribution table , the P-value for two tailed test corresponds to the obtained z-value = $=0.0011541$
