Answer:

No, it can not be applied.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 1/x²

f(x) is a polynomial that is not continuous

As,

f(x) = 1/0 is undefines

Secondly, it is not differentiable (i.e. the derivative does not exists on the interval given)

Derivative of this function

f'(x) = (1)x^-2

       = -2x^(-2-1)

       = -2x^(-3)

       = -2/x³

      =  -2/x³

f'(0) = -2/0 is undefined

Thus, mean value theorem can not be applied.

According to a polling​ organization, 24% of adults in a large region consider themselves to be liberal. A survey asked 200 resp
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

z=\frac{0.375 -0.24}{\sqrt{\frac{0.24(1-0.24)}{200}}}=4.47  

Now we can calculate the p value based on the alternative hypothesis with this probability:

p_v =P(z>4.47)=0.00000391  

The p value is very low compared to the significance level of \alpha=0.05 then we can reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true proportion of people liberal is higher than 0.24

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

n=200 represent the random sample taken

X=75 represent the number of people Liberal

\hat p=\frac{75}{200}=0.375 estimated proportion of people liberal

p_o=0.24 is the value that we want to test

z would represent the statistic

p_v represent the p value

Hypothesis to test

We want to verify if the true proportion of adults liberal is higher than 0.24:

Null hypothesis:p \leq 0.24  

Alternative hypothesis:p > 0.24  

The statistic is given by:

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}} (1)  

Replacing the info given we got:

z=\frac{0.375 -0.24}{\sqrt{\frac{0.24(1-0.24)}{200}}}=4.47  

Now we can calculate the p value based on the alternative hypothesis with this probability:

p_v =P(z>4.47)=0.00000391  

The p value is very low compared to the significance level of \alpha=0.05 then we can reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true proportion of people liberal is higher than 0.24

A scale on a map shows that 2 inches equals 25 miles how many inches on the map represents 60 miles?? I NEED HELP ASAP
irakobra [83]

Answer:

60 miles is equal to 4.8 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer to this question, we need divide 60 by 25 to find out how much to multiply 2 by so its equal.

60/25=2.4

2*2.4=4.8

60 miles is equal to 4.8 inches.

Hope this helps!

I WILL GIVE U BRAINLIEST AND THANKS AND 5 STARS
Effectus [21]

Answer:

I agree with Noah's Method because following PEMDAS you have to do exponents first. 10^3 is 1000 and then you can add the 20. Jada's method is incorrect because you cannot add the two together.
