Answer:

900

Step-by-step explanation:

Margin of error = critical value × standard error

The margin of error is given to be 0.05.

At 99.5% confidence, the critical value is z = 3.

The standard error for a proportion is √(pq/n).  Since p is not given, we will assume p = 0.5.

0.05 = 3 √(0.5 × 0.5 / n)

n = 900

3. The regression equation y = –0.414x + 106.55 approximates the percent of people in an audience who finish watching a document
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

The answer is 78%

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: The given regression equation y = -0.414x + 106.55

Step 2: The length of the film  = 70 minutes

Step 3: Plug in x = 70 in the given equation and find the value of y.

y = -0.414 (70) + 106.55

y = -28.98 + 106.55

y = 77.57

Y = 78%

Hope you will understand. :)

Please help
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

Option A:

y = 3*(x - 5)^2 - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

For a quadratic equation:

y = a*x^2 + b*x + c

with the vertex (h, k), we can rewrite the function as:

such that:

h = -b/2*a

y = a*(x - h)^2 + k

Here we have the function:

y = 3*x^2 - 30*x + 71

the x-value of the vertex will be:

h = -(-30)/(2*3) = 30/6 = 5

And k is given by:

k = y(5) = 3*(5)^2 - 30*5 + 71 = -4

Then the vertex is:

(5, - 4)

And we can rewrite the equation in the vertex form as:

y = 3*(x - 5)^2 + (-4)

y = 3*(x - 5)^2 - 4

Then the correct option is A.

PLS HELP I WILL GIVE THE BRAINLIEST ANSWER
seropon [69]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

If V = IR, then V = 40 * 3 in this case, which means V = 120. Quote question, "Assume voltage remains constant." This means V still equals 120 in the second scenario, which we can input into I = V / R to make I = 120 / 20 = 6.

Hope this helps!
