pav-90 [236]

Answer:

Area for Shape p is 12, the name for the shape q is a rhombus.

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape p is a triangle for if you find the height of the shape which is 6 and the length of the base which is 4 multiply them together then divide by 2 to get the area.

Given the function f(x) = x^4 + 3x^3 - 2x^2 - 6x - 1, use intermediate theorem to decide which of the following intervals contai

marta [7]

$f(x) = x^4 + 3x^3 - 2x^2 - 6x - 1$

Lets check with every option

(a) [-4,-3]

We plug in -4 for x and -3 for x

$f(-4) = (-4)^4 + 3(-4)^3 - 2(-4)^2 - 6(-4) - 1= 55$

$f(-3) = (-3)^4 + 3(-3)^3 - 2(-3)^2 - 6(-3) - 1= -1$

f(-4) is positive and f(-3) is negative. there is some value at x=c on the interval [-4,-3] where f(c)=0. so there exists atleast one zero on this interval.

(b) [-3,-2]

We plug in -3 for x and -2 for x

$f(-3) = (-3)^4 + 3(-3)^3 - 2(-3)^2 - 6(-3) - 1= -1$

$f(-2) = (-2)^4 + 3(-2)^3 - 2(-2)^2 - 6(-2) - 1= -5$

f(-2) is negative and f(-3) is negative. there is no value at x=c on the interval [-3,-2] where f(c)=0.

(c) [-2,-1]

We plug in -2 for x and -1 for x

$f(-2) = (-2)^4 + 3(-2)^3 - 2(-2)^2 - 6(-2) - 1= -5$

$f(-1) = (-1)^4 + 3(-1)^3 - 2(-1)^2 - 6(-1) - 1= 1$

f(-2) is negative and f(-1) is positive. there is some value at x=c on the interval [-2,-1] where f(c)=0. so there exists atleast one zero on this interval.

(d) [-1,0]

We plug in -1 for x and 0 for x

$f(-1) = (-1)^4 + 3(-1)^3 - 2(-1)^2 - 6(-1) - 1= 1$

$f(0) = (0)^4 + 3(0)^3 - 2(0)^2 - 6(0) - 1= -1$

f(-1) is positive and f(0) is negative. there is some value at x=c on the interval [-1,0] where f(c)=0. so there exists atleast one zero on this interval.

(e) [0,1]

We plug in 0 for x and 1 for x

$f(0) = (0)^4 + 3(0)^3 - 2(0)^2 - 6(0) - 1= -1$

$f(1) = (1)^4 + 3(1)^3 - 2(1)^2 - 6(1) - 1= -5$

f(0) is negative and f(1) is negative. there is no value at x=c on the interval [0,1] where f(c)=0.

(f) [1,2]

We plug in 1 for x and 2 for x

$f(1) = (1)^4 + 3(1)^3 - 2(1)^2 - 6(1) - 1= -5$

$f(2) = (2)^4 + 3(2)^3 - 2(2)^2 - 6(2) - 1= 19$

f(-4) is positive and f(-3) is negative. there is some value at x=c on the interval [-4,-3] where f(c)=0. so there exists atleast one zero on this interval.

so answers are (a) [-4,-3], (c) [-2,-1], (d) [-1,0], (f) [1,2]

Fewer young people are driving. In 1983, 87% of 19-year-olds had a driver’s license. Twenty-five years later (in 2008) that perc

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

a) $ME=1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.87 (1-0.87)}{1200}}=0.019$

b) $ME=1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.75 (1-0.75)}{1200}}=0.0245$

c) On this case it's not the same since the proportion estimated for 1983 it's different from the proportion estimated for 2008. So since the margin of error depends of $\hat p$ the margin of error change for part a and b.

Step-by-step explanation:

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".

The population proportion have the following distribution

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

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:

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

If solve n from equation (a) we got:

$n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}$ (b)

Part a

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 95% of confidence, our significance level would be given by $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ . And the critical value would be given by:

$z_{\alpha/2}=\pm 1.96$

If we replace the values into equation (a) for 1983 we got:

$ME=1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.87 (1-0.87)}{1200}}=0.019$

Part b

Since is the same confidence level the z value it's the same.

If we replace the values into equation (a) for 2008 we got:

$ME=1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.75 (1-0.75)}{1200}}=0.0245$

Is the margin of error the same in parts (a) and (b)? Why or why not?

On this case it's not the same since the proportion estimated for 1983 it's different from the proportion estimated for 2008. So since the margin of error depends of $\hat p$ the margin of error change for part a and b.
