Stainless steels are frequently used in chemical plants to handle corrosive fluids, however, these steels are especially suscept

ible to stress corrosion cracking in certain environments. In a sample of 295 steel alloy failures that occurred in oil refineries and petrochemical plants in Japan over the last 10 tears, 118 were caused by stress corrosion cracking and corrosion fatigue (Materials Performance, 1981). Construct a 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of alloy failures caused by stress corrosion cracking.

Answer: 95% confidence interval would be (0.344,0.456).

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

n = 295

x = 118

so, \hat{p}=\dfrac{x}{n}=\dfrac{118}{295}=0.4

At 95% confidence, z = 1.96

So, margin of error would be

z\times \sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}\\\\=1.96\times \sqrt{\dfrac{0.4\times 0.6}{295}}\\\\=0.056

so, 95% confidence interval would be

\hat{p}\pm \text{margin of error}\\\\=0.4\pm 0.056\\\\=(0.4-0.056,0.4+0.056)\\\\ =(0.344,0.456)

Hence, 95% confidence interval would be (0.344,0.456).

What is (3.9 x 10 to the power of 33) times (3.25 x 10 to the power of 3)
Anna35 [415]

Answer:1.2675x10^37

Step-by-step explanation:

3.9x10^33 x 3.25x10^3

3.9x3.25x10^33x10^3

12.675x10^(33+3)

12.675x10^36

1.2675x10^1x10^36

1.2675x10^(1+36)

1.2675x10^37

A line has a slope of –3 and a y-intercept of (0, –1). What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the given line and p
givi [52]
Well, the first line has a slope of -3, and runs through 0, -1.

a line parallel to that one, will have the same exact slope of -3.

now, we know about this other parallel line that it runs through -3,1, and of course, since is parallel, it has a slope of -3

\bf \begin{array}{ccccccccc}&#10;&&x_1&&y_1\\&#10;&&(~ -3 &,& 1~)&#10;\end{array}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;% slope  = m&#10;slope =  m\implies -3&#10;\\\\\\&#10;% point-slope intercept&#10;\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-1=-3[x-(-3)]&#10;\\\\\\&#10;y-1=-3(x+3)&#10;\implies &#10;y-1=-3x-9\implies y=-3x-8
