A university dean is interested in determining the proportion of students who receive some sort of financial aid. Rather than ex

amine the records for all students, the dean randomly selects 200 students and finds that 118 of them are receiving financial aid. Use a 99% confidence interval to estimate the true proportion of students on financial aid, with limits rounded to four decimal places.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = np

Where

n = number of students

p = probability of success

n = 200

p = 118/200 = 0.59

mean = 200 × 0.59 = 118

Standard deviation, s = √npq

q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.59

q = 0.41

s = √(200 × 0.59 × 0.41)

s = √48.38 = 6.956

For a confidence level of 99%, the corresponding z value is 2.58. This is determined from the normal distribution table.

We will apply the formula

Confidence interval

= mean ± z ×standard deviation/√n

It becomes

118 ± 2.58 × 6.956/√200

= 118 ± 2.58 × 0.492

= 118 ± 1.2694

The lower end of the confidence interval is 118 - 1.2694 = 116.7306

The upper end of the confidence interval is 118 + 1.2694 = 119.2694

What is the tru solution to the logarithmic equation below? Log4[log4(2x)]=1

zaharov [31]

$\log_4(\log_42x)=1$

Take both sides as powers of 4:

$4^{\log_4(\log_42x)}=4^1\implies\log_42x=4$

Do it again:

$4^{\log_42x}=4^4\implies2x=(2^2)^4=2^8\implies x=2^7=128$

1. Isosceles Triangle The two equal sides of an isosceles triangle are each 42

gavmur [86]

Answer:

1. H = 29 cm

2. θ = 44°

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We can find the height of the triangle by considering the isosceles triangle as two right triangles. The height can be found by using Pitagoras:

$L^{2} = H^{2} + B^{2}$

Where:

L: is the sides of the isosceles triangle = 42 cm

B: is the base = 30 cm

H: is the height =?

Then, the height is:

$H = \sqrt{L^{2} - B^{2}} = \sqrt{(42 cm)^{2} - (30 cm)^{2}} = 29.4 cm = 29 cm$

2. The two equal angles (θ) can be found using the following trigonometric identity:

$cos(\theta) = \frac{B}{L}$

$\theta = cos^{-1}(\frac{30 cm}{42 cm}) = 44.4^{\circ} = 44^{\circ}$

Hence, the two equal angles are 44°.

I hope it helps you!

(15/8+2/5)+(-7/8) show ur work

stepan [7]

The answer is 7/5 th. You can add fractions without first having a common denominator so you would change the 8's by multiplying it by 5 to get 40 and you would multiply the 5 by 8 to get 40 as well. And the rule whatever you do to the bottom you have to do to the top so whatever you multiplied 8 by do the same for the numerator and whatever you multiplied 5 by you do the same for the numerator. So your new equation would be (75/40+16/40)+(-35/40). you would then add the numerator's across to get 56 and the denominator would stay the same so the answer is 56/40. But you have to now simplify 56/40 down to 14/10 and then once more to 7/5 which is the final answer.

Use the graphing calculator to graph these functions: y1= 2x ; y2= 2x2 ; y3 = 2x After what y-value does the exponential functio

Mumz [18]

After the value of y is 4 does the exponential function definitely surpasses the linear function.

What is exponential function?

A function whose value is a constant raised to the power of the argument, especially the function where the constant is e.

Given

Use the graphing calculator to graph these functions: y1= 2x ; y2= 2x2 ; y3 = 2x.

As we can see y1=2x is a linear function and y3=2^x is a exponential function.

The graphs of y1 and y3 meet at 2 points i.e. at (1,2) and (2,4)

When you graph the equations their point of intersection is (2,4).

Therefore, when y > 4, the exponential function surpasses the linear function.
