Answer:

(Lower limit, Upper limit) = (0.10, 0.14)

(Lower limit, Upper limit) = (10%, 14%)

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of cars = 150

Cars that failed the safety inspection = 18

The proportion is given by

p = 18/150

p = 0.12

p = 12%

The confidence interval is given by

p ± margin of error

Where margin of error is 0.02

0.12 ± 0.02

Lower limit = 0.12 - 0.02

Lower limit = 0.10

Lower limit = 10%

Upper limit = 0.12 + 0.02

Upper limit = 0.14

Upper limit = 14%

(Lower limit, Upper limit) = (0.10, 0.14)

(Lower limit, Upper limit) = (10%, 14%)

Two vertical poles of length 10 and 12 feet, respectively, stand 17 feet apart. A cable reaches from the top of one pole to the

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

$L=\sqrt{x^{2}+100}+\sqrt{x^{2}-34x+433} ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

let length of calble = L

distance from 10-foot pole = x ft

Moving from the top of the 10-foot pole to point x, we have

From the diagram that

$x^{2} +10^{2}=L_{1} ^{2} \\x^{2} + 100 = L_{1} ^{2}$

Take the square root of both sides

$\sqrt{x^{2}+100}=\sqrt{L_{1} ^{2}}\\ \sqrt{x^{2}+100}= L_{1}$

Moving from point x to the top of the 12-foot pole, we have

From the diagram that

$(17-x)^{2}+12^{2}=L_{2} ^{2} \\289-34x+x^{2} +144=L_{2} ^{2}\\x^{2} -34x+433=L_{2} ^{2}$

Take the square root of both sides

$\sqrt{x^{2}-34x+433}=\sqrt{L_{2} ^{2}} \\\sqrt{x^{2}-34x+433}=L_{2}$

Amount of cable used, L = L1 + L2

$L=\sqrt{x^{2}+100}+\sqrt{x^{2}-34x+433}$
