Step-by-step explanation:

3a²-7a−6

Factor the expression by grouping. First, the expression needs to be rewritten as 3a

+pa+qa−6. To find p and q, set up a system to be solved.

p+q=−7

pq=3(−6)=−18

Since pq is negative, p and q have the opposite signs. Since p+q is negative, the negative number has greater absolute value than the positive. List all such integer pairs that give product −18.

1,−18

2,−9

3,−6

Calculate the sum for each pair.

1−18=−17

2−9=−7

3−6=−3

The solution is the pair that gives sum −7.

p=−9

q=2

Rewrite 3a

2−7a−6 as (3a

2−9a)+(2a−6).

(3a 2−9a)+(2a−6)

Factor out 3a in the first and 2 in the second group.

3a(a−3)+2(a−3)

Factor out common term a−3 by using distributive property.

(a−3)(3a+2)

A 51 foot piece of wire is cut into 3 sections so that the first section is three times as long as the second section and the se

kirill [66]

Answer:

The length of the longest section x = 36 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of the wire = 51 ft

Let first section of wire = x

Second section of wire = y

Third section of wire = z

According to given data

x = 3 y & y = 4 z

Total length of the wire = x + y + z = 51

$y + 3 y + \frac{y}{4} = 51$

$\frac{17}{4} y = 51$

y = 12

x = 3 × 12 = 36

$z = \frac{y}{4} = \frac{12}{4} = 3$

Therefore the length of the longest section x = 36 ft

Fewer young people are driving. In 1983, 87% of 19-year-olds had a driver’s license. Twenty-five years later (in 2008) that perc

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

a) $ME=1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.87 (1-0.87)}{1200}}=0.019$

b) $ME=1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.75 (1-0.75)}{1200}}=0.0245$

c) On this case it's not the same since the proportion estimated for 1983 it's different from the proportion estimated for 2008. So since the margin of error depends of $\hat p$ the margin of error change for part a and b.

Step-by-step explanation:

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The population proportion have the following distribution

$p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}})$

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}$ (a)

If solve n from equation (a) we got:

$n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}$ (b)

Part a

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 95% of confidence, our significance level would be given by $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ . And the critical value would be given by:

$z_{\alpha/2}=\pm 1.96$

If we replace the values into equation (a) for 1983 we got:

$ME=1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.87 (1-0.87)}{1200}}=0.019$

Part b

Since is the same confidence level the z value it's the same.

If we replace the values into equation (a) for 2008 we got:

$ME=1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.75 (1-0.75)}{1200}}=0.0245$

Is the margin of error the same in parts (a) and (b)? Why or why not?

On this case it's not the same since the proportion estimated for 1983 it's different from the proportion estimated for 2008. So since the margin of error depends of $\hat p$ the margin of error change for part a and b.
