The answer is B. -7m+12.

First distribute the -2 to 6m and -5.

5m-2(6m-5)+2

5m+(-2*6m)+(-2*-5)+2

5m+-12m+10+2

After that, combine the like terms.

5m+-12m+10+2

-5m+-12m=-7m

10+2=12

The simplified expression is -7m+12.

"A cable TV company wants to estimate the percentage of cable boxes in use during an evening hour. An approximation is 20 percen

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

The company should take a sample of 148 boxes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The cable TV company whats to know what sample size to take to estimate the proportion/percentage of cable boxes in use during an evening hour.

They estimated a "pilot" proportion of p'=0.20

And using a 90% confidence level the CI should have a margin of error of 2% (0.02).

The CI for the population proportion is made using an approximation of the standard normal distribution, and its structure is "point estimation" ± "margin of error"

[p' ± $Z_{1-\alpha /2} * \sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} }$ ]

Where

p' is the sample proportion/point estimator of the population proportion

$Z_{1-\alpha /2} * \sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} }$ is the margin of error (d) of the confidence interval.

$Z_{1-\alpha /2} = Z_{1-0.05} = Z_{0.95}= 1.648$

$d= Z_{1-\alpha /2} * \sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} }$

$d *Z_{1-\alpha /2}= \sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} }$

$(d*Z_{1-\alpha /2})^2= \frac{p'(1-p')}{n}$

$n*(d*Z_{1-\alpha /2})^2= p'(1-p')$

$n= \frac{p'(1-p')}{(d*Z_{1-\alpha /2})^2}$

$n= \frac{0.2(1-0.2)}{(0.02*1.648)^2}$

n= 147.28 ≅ 148 boxes.

I hope it helps!

If f(x) = x over 2 + 8, what is f(x) when x = 10?

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

f(10) = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x/2 + 8

Let x = 10

f(10) = 10/2 +8

f(10) = 5+8

f(10) = 13
