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%.

Sam entered three functions into a graphing calculator, y1 = x + 2, y2 = x2 + 2, and y3 = 2x. A portion of the table created by
V125BC [204]
For this case we have the following functions:
 y1 = x + 2

y2 = x ^ 2 + 2

y3 = 2 ^ x
 
 When x = 0 we have:
 For y1:
 y1 = 0 + 2

y1 = 2
 For y2:
 y2 = 0 ^ 2 + 2

y2 = 0 + 2

y2 = 2
 Therefore, we have to:
 y1 = y2


 When x = 5 we have:
 For y2:
 y2 = 5 ^ 2 + 2

y2 = 25 + 2

y2 = 27
 For y3:
 y3 = 2 ^ 5

y3 = 32
 Therefore, we have to:
 y2 \ \textless \ y3


 When x = -1 we have:
 For y1:
 y1 = -1 + 2

y1 = 1
 For y2:
 y2 = (-1) ^ 2 + 2

y2 = 1 + 2

y2 = 3

 For y3:
 y3 = 2 ^ {-1}

y3 = 1/2

y3 = 0.5
 Therefore, we have to:
 y3 \ \textless \ y1 \ \textless \ y2


 Answer:
 
When x = 0, y1 = y2
 
When x = 5, y2 <y3
 
When x = -1, y3 <y1 <y2

*ANSWER FAST* x-1/x-2 + x-3/x-4 = 3 1/3 [x≠2 , x≠4] find
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

x = 5, x = \frac{5}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{x-1}{x-2} + \frac{x-3}{x-4} = 3 \frac{1}{3}

\frac{(x-1)(x-4)+(x-3)(x-2)}{(x-2)(x-4)} = \frac{10}{3}

\frac{x^2-5x+4+x^2-5x+6}{x^2-6x+8} = \frac{10}{3}

\frac{2x^2-10x+10}{x^2-6x+8} = \frac{10}{3}  ( cross- multiply )

10(x² - 6x + 8) = 3(2x² - 10x + 10) ← distribute both sides

10x² - 60x + 80 = 6x² - 30x + 30 ← subtract 6x² - 30x + 30 from both sides

4x² - 30x + 50 = 0 ( divide through by 2 )

2x² - 15x + 25 = 0 ← in standard form

(2x - 5)(x - 5) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

2x - 5 = 0 ⇒ 2x = 5 ⇒ x = \frac{5}{2}

x - 5 = 0 ⇒ x = 5
