Answer:

C.

f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{l}\dfrac{1}{2}x-3,\ \ x

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph of the piecewise function consists of two linear functions which graphs meets at point with x-coordinate x = 2.

1. The left linear function is determined for all x < 2 and is passing through the points (0,-3) and (-2,-4). So, its slope is

\dfrac{-4-(-3)}{-2-0}=\dfrac{-1}{-2}=\dfrac{1}{2}

and its equation is

y-(-3)=\dfrac{1}{2}(x-0)\\ \\y=\dfrac{1}{2}x-3

2. The right linear function is determined for all x ≥ 2 and is passing through the points (2,-2) and (3,1). So, its slope is

\dfrac{1-(-2)}{3-2}=\dfrac{3}{1}=3

and its equation is

y-1=3(x-3)\\ \\y=3x-8

3. Hence, the expression for the piece-wise function is

f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{l}\dfrac{1}{2}x-3,\ \ x

mart [117]

Answer:

Probability that the sample proportion will be greater than 0.5 is 0.8133.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the a particular candidate for public office is in fact favored by p = 48% of all registered voters. A polling organization is about to take a simple random sample of voters and will use the sample proportion to estimate p.

Suppose that the polling organization takes a simple random sample of 500 voters.

<em>Let </em>\hat p<em> = sample proportion</em>

The z-score probability distribution for sample proportion is given by;

               Z = \frac{ \hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \hat p = sample proportion

           p = population proportion = 48%

           n = sample of voters = 500

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is away from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value (area) associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X.

So, probability that the sample proportion will be greater than 0.5 is given by = P( \hat p > 0.50)

  P( \hat p > 0.50) = P( \frac{ \hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } < \frac{0.50-0.48}{\sqrt{\frac{0.50(1-0.50)}{500} } } ) = P(Z < 0.89) = 0.8133

<em>Now, in the z table the P(Z </em>\leq<em> x) or P(Z < x) is given. So, the above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 0.89 in the z table which has an area of 0.8133.</em>

Therefore, probability that the sample proportion will be greater than 0.50 is 0.8133.

6 friends, $2 left

Step-by-step explanation:

He has $38 dollars, but each ticket costs $6.  Divide them to see how many tickets he can buy.

38/6 = 6 remainder 2

He can pay for 6 friends, and the remainder is $2.
