4 0

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. You have the following informatioon given in the problem above:

- <span>Five times the smaller of two consecutive numbers is added to 3 times the bigger.
- The result is 579.

2. Keeping this on mind, you have the following equation:

x: the smaller number.

5x+3(x+1)=579

3. You must solve for x to calcualte the value of the smaller integer:

5x+3x+3=579
8x+3=579
8x=579-3
x=576/8
x=72

The answer is: 72

The answer is 38, because if you take away the 15 he bought afterwards (34-15) you get 19, and then since he sold half his collection you would double that (19×2) and that's 38.

A Rasmussen Reports survey of 1,000 US adults found that 42% believe raising the minimum wage will help the economy. Construct a

vitfil [10]

Answer:

(0.3798, 0.4602)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p be the true proportion of US adults who believe raising the minimum wage will help the economy. A point estimate for p is $\hat{p}=0.42$ and a good aproximation (because we have a large sample) for the standard deviation of $\hat{p}$ is $\sqrt{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})/n}=\sqrt{0.42(0.58)/1000}=0.0156$ . Therefore, a 99% confidence interval for p is given by $\hat{p}\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}$ where $\alpha=0.01$ and $z_{\alpha/2}$ is the $\alpha/2$ th quantile of the standard normal distribution, so we have, $0.42\pm z_{0.005}0.0156$ , i.e., $0.42\pm(-2.5758)(0.0156)$ or equivalently (0.3798, 0.4602).
