Answer:

k = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Substitute the point (2,-1) into the given equation 5x+ky=12. The first number is 2, the x-value. The second number is -1, the y-value.

5x + ky = 12

5(2) + k(-1) = 12

2. Simplify

5(2) + k(-1) = 12

10 + (-k) = 12

10 - k = 12

2. Isolate k

10 - k = 12

-k = 12-10

-k = 2 <= here multiply both sides by (-1)

k = -2

serg [7]

Answer:

92% Confidence interval: (0.7078,0.7722)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample size, n = 500

Number of travelers who favor tight security, x = 370

$\hat{p} = \dfrac{x}{n} = \dfrac{370}{500} = 0.74$

92% Confidence interval:

$\hat{p}\pm z_{stat}\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}$

$z_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.08} = \pm 1.645$

Putting the values, we get:

$0.74\pm 1.645(\sqrt{\dfrac{0.74(1-0.74)}{500}}) = 0.74\pm 0.0322\\\\=(0.7078,0.7722)$
