Given:

p = 7.6% = 0.076, the percentage of people who stay overnight at the hospital.

E = 1.5% = 0.015, margin of error

95% confidence interval.

The standard error is

Es = \sqrt{ \frac{p(1-p)}{n} }

where

n = the sample size.


The margin of error is

E=z^{*}E_{s}

where

z* = 1.96 at the 95% confidence level.

Because the margin of error is given, there is no need to calculate it.

The 95% confidence interval is

p +/- E = 0.076 +/- 0.015 = (0.061, 0.091) = (6.1%, 9.1%)


Answer: 

The 95% confidence interval is between 6.1% and 9.1%.

Remark

The number of faces reaching out in the 3rd dimension of the pyramid = the number of edges on the base.

Givens

Number of edges (or sides on the base)= e

Number of faces = f

Formula

F = e + 1 Don't forget that the base is also a face.

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

this is a set problem (mathematical set)

30 students played soccer

9 students played cricket and soccer

x students played neither cricket nor soccer

3x students played cricket only.

we can see that in the first set 21 appears and in the middle of the set 9 because it says 30 students played soccer adding x and 3x we have the following formula

30 + x + 3x = 50 where x is equal to 5 then ask us Determine the number of students who played cricket. then the value would be 3x + 9 = (3x5) + 9 = 24

Write y=2(x + 6)(x + 3) in standard form
Volgvan

Answer:

y = 2x² + 18x + 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y = 2(x + 6)(x + 3) ← expand the factors using FOIL

y = 2(x² + 9x + 18) ← distribute parenthesis by 2

  = 2x² + 18x + 36 ← in standard form

Using V =iwh what is an expression for the volume of the following prism​
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

we know that

The volume of the prism is equal to

V=L*W*H

where

L is the length side of the base of the prism

W is the width side of the base of the prism

H is the height of the prism

In this problem we have

L=\frac{d-2}{3d-9}=\frac{d-2}{3(d-3)}

W=\frac{4}{d-4}

H=\frac{2d-6}{2d-4}=\frac{2(d-3)}{2(d-2)}=\frac{(d-3)}{(d-2)}

Substitute the values in the formula

V=\frac{d-2}{3(d-3)}*\frac{4}{d-4}*\frac{(d-3)}{(d-2)}=\frac{4}{3(d-4)}=\frac{4}{3d-12}

therefore

the answer is the option

4/3d-12
