The tempature is -3 degress.The temperature is expected to decrease 2.5 degress each hour until the temperature reaches -18 degr
1 answer:
We can set this problem up as an algebraic equation, which we can then solve to find our answer.
We start at -3. So we can start our equation with that:
However, this doesn't represent any change in temperature, just that we start at -3. To show change, we will use the variable , where
stands for the number of hours. Each hour accounts for a change of -2.5 in degrees, meaning that we must multiply our
by -2.5. We can now add this term into our equation:
We are trying to find when we will reach -18 degrees, so we will set our entire equation equal to -18 and solve:
It will take us 6 hours, or choice A.

Answer:
The 99% confidence interval for the true population proportion of people with kids is (0.293, 0.547).
Step-by-step explanation:
In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of , and a confidence level of
, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.
In which
z is the z-score that has a p-value of .
Out of 100 people sampled, 42 had kids.
This means that
99% confidence level
So , z is the value of Z that has a p-value of
, so
.
The lower limit of this interval is:
The upper limit of this interval is:
The 99% confidence interval for the true population proportion of people with kids is (0.293, 0.547).
