Answer:

n=6147

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Notation and definitions

X=1 number of citrus trees that are infected with the citrus red mite.

n=5 random sample taken

\hat p=\frac{1}{5}=0.2 estimated proportion of citrus trees that are infected with the citrus red mite.

p true population proportion of citrus trees that are infected with the citrus red mite.

Me=0.01 represent the margin of error desired

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

The population proportion have the following distribution

p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}})

In order to find the critical values we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 95% of confidence, our significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.95=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025. And the critical values would be given by:

t_{\alpha/2}=-1.96, t_{1-\alpha/2}=1.96

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:  

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}    (a)  

And on this case we have that ME =\pm 0.01 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:  

n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}   (b)  

And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:

n=\frac{0.2(1-0.2)}{(\frac{0.01}{1.96})^2}=6146.56  

And rounded up we have that n=6147

The graph of a linear function intersects with the x axis at a point with an abscissa of 4 and with the y axis at a point with a
goldenfox [79]
We know that

points are
x intercept
A (4,0)

y intercept
B (0,11)

step 1
find the equation of a line
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)--------> m=(11-0)/(0-4)------> m=-11/4

with m and the point B (0,11)
y-y1=m*(x-x1)y-11=(-11/4)*(x-0)---------> y=-(11/4)x+11

the answer is 
the formula of the function is y=-(11/4)x+11

see the attached figure

Adam plans to choose a video game from a section of the store where everything is 75%
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

Look below

Step-by-step explanation:

In Adam's expression, d represents the original price of the game. 0.75d represents 75% of the original price; this is the amount of the discount, since everything is 75% off.  Taking the difference of the original price and the discount, d-0.75d, gives us the total price of the game. In Rena's expression, 0.25 represents 25%.  This is because taking 75% off of the price means we still pay 100-75 = 25% of the original price. Multiplying the original price, d, by the 0.25, gives us 25% of the original price; this is the total price.
