Answer: - 0.71

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p = population proportion

po = sample proportion.

From the question,

p = 38% = 38/100 = 0.38

po = 32% = 32/100 = 0.32

Sample size (n) = 340.

Since our sample size is greater than 30 ( n= 340) we will be making use of a z test for our test statistics.

The population standard deviation of the data set is given below as

σ = √p(1 - p).

σ = √0.38 (1 - 0.38)

σ = √0.38 × 0.62

σ =√0.2356

σ = 0.49.

Z score = po - p/ (σ/√n)

Z score = 0.32 - 0.38/ (0.49/√340)

Z score = - 0.06 / 0.0266

Z score = - 0.71

Solve for a -1/4a-4=7/4a-3
ddd [48]
Add 1/4a to both sides
-4= 8/4a-3

Simplify
-4=2a-3

Add 3 to both sides
-1=2a

Divide both sides by 2
-1/2=a

Final answer: a=-1/2

Given the points P(2,-1) and Q(-9,-6), what are the coordinates of the point on directed line segment PQ that partitions PQ in t
gayaneshka [121]

ANSWER

( -  \frac{23}{5} , - 4)

EXPLANATION

Given the points P(2,-1) and Q(-9,-6),the coordinates of the point that partition the directed line segment PQ in the ratio 3:2 is given by

x = \frac{ mx_2+nx_1}{m + n}

y= \frac{ my_2+ny_1}{m + n}

Where m=3 and n=2

x = \frac{ 3 ( - 9)+2(2)}{3+ 2}

x = \frac{  - 23}{5}

y= \frac{ 3( - 6)+2( - 1)}{3 + 2}

y= \frac{  - 20}{5}  =  - 4

The point is

( -  \frac{23}{5} , - 4)

Question 10 (3 points)
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

$3,090.64

Step-by-step explanation:

We shall allocate a random letter to each value, with that I explain the formula.

Initial value of investment = $5,003.86  = P

Rate of interest = 3.7% = R

Compounding interval in a year = 365 = I

Total period = 13 years = T

Value of investment in compound interest formula shall be:

= P \times (1 + \frac{R}{(I})^{(I \times T)}

Now, putting values in the above equation:

= 5,003.86 \times (1 + \frac{0.037}{365}) ^{(365\times13)}

= $8,094.50

Thus, interest earned = Total value of investment on maturity - Initially invested amount

= $8,094.50 - $5,003.86 = $3,090.64
