Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

p = 0.20

1 - p = 1 - 0.20 = 0.80

n = 130

\mu\hat p = p = 0.20

A) \sigma \hat p =  \sqrt[p( 1 - p ) / n] = \sqrt [(0.20 * 0.80 ) / 130] = 0.0351

B) P( \hat p > 0.15) = 1 - P( \hat p < 0.15)

= 1 - P(( \hat p - \mu \hat p ) / \sigma \hat p < (0.15 - 0.20) / 0.0351 )

= 1 - P(z < -1.42)

Using z table

= 1 - 0.0778

= 0.9222

C) P(0.18 < \hat p < 0.22)

= P[(0.18 - 0.20) / 0.0351 < ( \hat p - \mu \hat p ) / \sigma \hat p < (0.22 - 0.20) / 0.0351]

= P(-0.57 < z < 0.57)

= P(z < 0.57) - P(z < -0.57)

Using z table,    

= 0.7157 - 0.2843

= 0.4314

Which is an exponential decay function f (x)=3/4 (7/4)x f (x)=2/3 (4/5)-x. F (x)=3/2 (8/7)-x f (x)=1/3 (9/2)x
dsp73
The given functions are
1.\, f(x)= \frac{3}{4}( \frac{7}{4})^{x} \\ \\2.\,f(x)= \frac{2}{3}( \frac{4}{5} ) ^{-x}\\\\3.\, f(x)= \frac{3}{2} ( \frac{8}{7} )^{-x}\\\\4.\,f(x)= \frac{1}{3} ( \frac{9}{2} )^{x}

Evaluate the functions. 
1. Because 7/4 > 1 and the exponent is positive,
   the function does not decay.
2.Because 4/5 < 1 and the exponent is negative,
    the function does not decay.
3. Because 8/7 > 1 and the exponent is negative,
    the function decays.
4. Because 9/2 > 1 and the exponent is positive,
    the function does not decay.

A composite plot the functions verifies the answer.

Answer: f(x)= \frac{3}{2} ( \frac{8}{7} )^{-x}

a company is offering a job with a salry of 30000 for the first year and a 5% raise each year after that If the 5% raise continu
stellarik [79]

Figure out 5% of 30,000: .05 x 30,000 = 1,500

Multiply 1,500 by the number years, but subtract the first year (as you don't receive a bonus) : 1,500 x 39 =  58,500

Now add the bonus with the initial salary: 58,500 + 30,000 = 88,500.

THE ANSWER IS $88,500!!! :)
