It's only possible for the two lines to intercept isif they have different slopes.

When two lines have the same slope they would be parallel and never intercept.

If the lines have different slopes, they would  eventually intercept.

Answer:

Two lines only can intercept if they have different slopes, if they have the same slope, the lines are parallel and they never intercept.

So if the cost of producing a book is different than the price of selling the book, the lines will intercept at some point.

Where the equations can be:

lose = A*x + b

win = C*x + d

where x is the number of books, A and C are the slopes, b and d are constants. Those two lines only will intercept if A is bigger than C, the intercept will be for x different than zero only when b is different than d

What is 31 billion in scientific notation? <br><br> explain clearly &lt;3 :D
MArishka [77]

Answer:

3.1*10^10

Step-by-step explanation:

31 billion would be written like that because... there are 9 0's left, and that goes up to 10 because i turned 31 to 3.1 not 31, so that value after a decimal point adds 1

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

a) The minimum sample size is 601.

b) The minimum sample size is 2401.

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}.

The margin of error is:

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

For this problem, we have that:

We dont know the true proportion, so we use \pi = 0.5, which is when we are are going to need the largest sample size.

95% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.05, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975, so Z = 1.96.

a. If a 95% confidence interval with a margin of error of no more than 0.04 is desired, give a close estimate of the minimum sample size that will guarantee that the desired margin of error is achieved. (Remember to round up any result, if necessary.)

This is n for which M = 0.04. So

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

0.04 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{n}}

0.04\sqrt{n} = 1.96*0.5

\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96*0.5}{0.04}

(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96*0.5}{0.04})^2

n = 600.25

Rounding up

The minimum sample size is 601.

b. If a 95% confidence interval with a margin of error of no more than 0.02 is desired, give a close estimate of the minimum sample size necessary to achieve the desired margin of error.

Now we want n for which M = 0.02. So

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

0.02 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{n}}

0.02\sqrt{n} = 1.96*0.5

\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96*0.5}{0.02}

(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96*0.5}{0.02})^2

n = 2401

The minimum sample size is 2401.

Write the set of points from  -6 to 0 but excluding  -4  and 0 as a union of intervals

First we take  the interval  -6 to 0. In that -4  and 0 are excluded.

So we split the interval -6 to 0.

Start with -6 and go up to -4. -4 is excluded so we break at -4. Also we use parenthesis for -4.

Interval becomes [-6,-4) . It says -6 included but -4 excluded.

Next interval starts at -4 and ends at 0. -4 and 0 are excluded so we use parenthesis not square brackets

(-4,0)

Now we take union of both intervals

[-6,-4) U (-4,0)  --- Interval from  -6 to 0 but excluding  -4  and 0
