Suppose the U. S. president wants an estimate of the proportion of the population who support his current policy toward revision

s in the health care system. The president wants the estimate to be within .04 of the true proportion. Assume a 95 percent level of confidence. The president’s political advisors estimated the proportion supporting the current policy to be .60. a. How large of a sample is required? b. How large of a sample would be necessary if no estimate were available for the proportion supporting current policy?

I’m so confused. can someone please help

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

k = - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a function f(x), then a horizontal translation parallel to the x- axis is denoted by

f(x + k)

If k > 0 then shift of k units left

If k < 0 then shift of k units right

Here the shift is 6 units to the left, from 4 to - 2, hence

k = 6

Find the function y1 of t which is the solution of 121y′′+110y′−24y=0 with initial conditions y1(0)=1,y′1(0)=0. y1= Note: y1 is

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The original equation is $121y''+110y'-24y=0$ . We propose that the solution of this equations is of the form $y = Ae^{rt}$ . Then, by replacing the derivatives we get the following

$121r^2Ae^{rt}+110rAe^{rt}-24Ae^{rt}=0= Ae^{rt}(121r^2+110r-24)$

Since we want a non trival solution, it must happen that A is different from zero. Also, the exponential function is always positive, then it must happen that

$121r^2+110r-24=0$

Recall that the roots of a polynomial of the form $ax^2+bx+c$ are given by the formula

$x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

In our case a = 121, b = 110 and c = -24. Using the formula we get the solutions

$r_1 = -\frac{12}{11}$

$r_2 = \frac{2}{11}$

So, in this case, the general solution is $y = c_1 e^{\frac{-12t}{11}} + c_2 e^{\frac{2t}{11}}$

a) In the first case, we are given that y(0) = 1 and y'(0) = 0. By differentiating the general solution and replacing t by 0 we get the equations

$c_1 + c_2 = 1$

$c_1\frac{-12}{11} + c_2\frac{2}{11} = 0$ (or equivalently $c_2 = 6c_1$

By replacing the second equation in the first one, we get $7c_1 = 1$ which implies that $c_1 = \frac{1}{7}, c_2 = \frac{6}{7}$ .

So $y_1 = \frac{1}{7}e^{\frac{-12t}{11}} + \frac{6}{7}e^{\frac{2t}{11}}$

b) By using y(0) =0 and y'(0)=1 we get the equations

$c_1+c_2 =0$

$c_1\frac{-12}{11} + c_2\frac{2}{11} = 1$ (or equivalently $-12c_1+2c_2 = 11$

By solving this system, the solution is $c_1 = \frac{-11}{14}, c_2 = \frac{11}{14}$

Then $y_2 = \frac{-11}{14}e^{\frac{-12t}{11}} + \frac{11}{14} e^{\frac{2t}{11}}$

c)

The Wronskian of the solutions is calculated as the determinant of the following matrix

$\left| \begin{matrix}y_1 & y_2 \\ y_1' & y_2'\end{matrix}\right|= W(t) = y_1\cdot y_2'-y_1'y_2$

By plugging the values of $y_1$ and

We can check this by using Abel's theorem. Given a second degree differential equation of the form y''+p(x)y'+q(x)y the wronskian is given by

$e^{\int -p(x) dx}$

In this case, by dividing the equation by 121 we get that p(x) = 10/11. So the wronskian is

$e^{\int -\frac{10}{11} dx} = e^{\frac{-10x}{11}}$

Note that this function is always positive, and thus, never zero. So $y_1, y_2$ is a fundamental set of solutions.

Yan has already finished 3/5 of the 45 math problems he was assigned today. Each math problem took him 1 4/5 of a minute to comp

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

He will finish the rest of the problems in 32.4 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given that Yan has completed 3/5 of 45 problems i.e.

$\frac{3}{5}*45$

$27$

Thus he has completed 27 problems

Remaining no. of problems are 45-27 = 18

Since he complete each problem in minutes = $1\frac{4}{5} =\frac{9}{5} =1.8$

So, he completes 18 problems in minutes = 18 *1.8 = 32.4 minutes

Hence , He will finish the rest of the problems in 32.4 minutes.
