The x in the formula is the depth.

You are given two different depths, replace x with the depths, solve for T, then subtract the to find the difference:

At 1200 meters the temperature is:

T = 4500/1200 = 3.75 degrees

At 3750 meters the temperature is:

T = 4500 / 3750 = 1.20 degrees.

The difference in temperature between the two depths is:

3.75 - 1.20 = 2.55 degrees C.

Keshawn is asked to compare and contrast the domain and range for the two functions.

scoray [572]

For the function 5x, the range is the value of f(x) which is five times the x and the domain is the value of x which can be the ratio of f(x) and 5. For the second function which is g(x) = 5, the range is 5 all through out the graph while the domain is infinity.

People pay to visit a state home: Age 16+: £18.60 Under 16: £12.80 155 people pay and 49 of these people are under 16. How much

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

£2598.80

Step-by-step explanation:

155 people pay

49 are under 16

The number of 16+ people is: 155 - 49 = 106

Total money collected:

106 * £18.60 + 49 * £12.80 = £1971.60 + £627.20 = £2598.80

A government report gives a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of welfare recipients who have been receiving welfare ben

juin [17]

Answer:

The estimation for the proportion for this case is $\hat p = 0.21$

And we know that the 99% confidence interval is given by:

$0.21 \pm 0.045$

So then the margin of error at 99% of confidence is 0.045, and the margin of error is given by this formula:

$ME= z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}$

If we decrease the confidence level this margin of error can't be higher than 0.045 so then the correct answer for this case would be:

d. 21% ± 4.8%

Because if the z value decrease from 2.58 to 1.96 not makes sense that the margin of error increase from 0.045(4.5%) to 0.048(4.8%)

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

Solution to the problem

The population proportion have the following distribution

$p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}})$

The confidence interval would be given by this formula

$\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}$

For the 95% confidence interval the value of $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$ and $\alpha/2=0.025$ , with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.

$z_{\alpha/2}=1.96$

For the 99% confidence interval the value of $\alpha=1-0.99=0.01$ and $\alpha/2=0.005$ , with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.

$z_{\alpha/2}=2.58$

The estimation for the proportion for this case is $\hat p = 0.21$

And we know that the 99% confidence interval is given by:

$0.21 \pm 0.045$

So then the margin of error at 99% of confidence is 0.045, and the margin of error is given by this formula:

$ME= z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}$

If we decrease the confidence level this margin of error can't be higher than 0.045 so then the correct answer for this case would be:

d. 21% ± 4.8%

Because if the z value decrease from 2.58 to 1.96 not makes sense that the margin of error increase from 0.045(4.5%) to 0.048(4.8%)
