Answer: option A is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of oranges in a grocery store is directly proportional to the number of oranges purchased. Jerri paid $2.52 for 6 oranges.

If p represents the cost, in dollars,and n represents the number of oranges purchased, then introducing a proportionality constant, k, the equation becomes

p = kn

2.52 = k × 6

k = 2.52/6 = 0.42

Therefore, the equation representing the relationship is

p = 0.42n

galben [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval for the difference in the two proportions is written as

Difference in sample proportions ± margin of error

Sample proportion, p= x/n

Where x = number of success

n = number of samples

For the men,

x = 318

n1 = 520

p1 = 318/520 = 0.61

For the women

x = 379

n2 = 460

p2 = 379/460 = 0.82

Margin of error = z√[p1(1 - p1)/n1 + p2(1 - p2)/n2]

To determine the z score, we subtract the confidence level from 100% to get α

α = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05

α/2 = 0.05/2 = 0.025

This is the area in each tail. Since we want the area in the middle, it becomes

1 - 0.025 = 0.975

The z score corresponding to the area on the z table is 1.96. Thus, confidence level of 95% is 1.96

Margin of error = 1.96 × √[0.61(1 - 0.61)/520 + 0.82(1 - 0.82)/460]

= 1.96 × √0.0004575 + 0.00032086957)

= 0.055

Confidence interval = 0.61 - 0.82 ± 0.055

= - 0.21 ± 0.055

If you vertically compress the linear parent function, F(x) = x, by multiplying by 1/2 , what is the equation of the new functio
ElenaW [278]
Vertical compression of a function is moving the graph of the function towards the x axis.
It is done by multiplying F(x) with IaI<1, the absolute value of a is less than 1. Then we get f(x)=a*F(x).

If we have a function F(x)=x, and we multiply it by a=1/2, we get:

f(x)=a*F(x)=a*x=(1/2)*x.

This linear function is vertically compressed because the the graph of a new function is closer to the x axis.
