Answer:

June gets $\£50$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> amount of money Nick gets

y ----> amount of money June gets

we know that

$\frac{x}{y}=\frac{4}{5}$ -----> equation A

$x=40$ ----> equation B

solve the system by substitution

substitute equation B in equation A

$\frac{40}{y}=\frac{4}{5}$

solve for y

Multiply in cross

$(40)(5)=y(4)\\y=200/4$

$y=\£50$

Find the Dot Product if u=8i-7j and v=3i-4j?

Feliz [49]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If u=(a1i+b1j)=(a1,b1) and v=(a2i+b2j)=(a2,b2), then the dot (scalar) product is:

u.v=(a1,b1).(a2,b2)

a1b1+a2b2

u.v=(8,-7).(3,−4)

(8)(3)+(-7)(−4)

24+28=52

Answer:

The lower bound for a 90% confidence interval is 0.2033.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $1-\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$ .

For this problem, we have that:

$n = 40361, \pi = \frac{8337}{40361} = 0.2066$

90% confidence level

So $\alpha = 0.1$ , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{0.1}{2} = 0.95$ , so $Z = 1.645$ .

The lower limit of this interval is:

$\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.2066 - 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.2066*0.7934}{40361}} = 0.2033$

The lower bound for a 90% confidence interval is 0.2033.
