Answer:  0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :  A Houston department store sampled 80 items sold in January and found that 8 of the items were returned.

In other words, sample size : <em>n</em>=1040

Number of items returned : <em>x</em>= 8

Let <em>p</em> be the proportion of items returned for the population of sales transactions at the Houston store.

As per sample , the sample proportion of items returned for the population of sales transactions at the Houston store is :

\hat{p}=\dfrac{x}{n}=\dfrac{8}{80}=0.1

As we know that , <em>the sample proportion is the best estimate of the population proportion.</em>

Therefore,a point estimate of the proportion of items returned for the population of sales transactions at the Houston store is 0.1.

Q3) f(x) 2x^2 - 5x, g(x) = 3x^3 find g(4x)
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

g(4x) = 192x^3

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, f(x) is irrelevant since we are simply are dealing with g(x).  We will simply replace the value of x in g(x) with 4x.  So let's do that.

g(x) = 3x^3

g(4x) = 3(4x)^3

g(4x) = 3(4^3)(x^3)

g(4x) = 3(64)(x^3)

g(4x) = 192x^3

Hence, g(4x) is 192x^3.

Cheers.

1)Find the angle of elevation of the sun from the ground when a tree that is
KIM [24]

Answer:

\theta=41.18^{\circ}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The height of the tree, h = 14 ft

The height of the shadow, b = 16 ft

We need to find the angle of elevation of the sun from the ground. Let the angle be θ. We can use trigonometry to find it. So,

\tan\theta=\dfrac{P}{B}\\\\\tan\theta=\dfrac{14}{16}\\\\\theta=41.18^{\circ}

So, the required angle of elevation of the sun is equal to 41.18^{\circ}.
