Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to determine 95% confidence interval of the population proportion of republican voters who feel that the federal government has too much power.

43% of 300 randomly selected republican voters feel that the federal government has too much power. This means that

p = 43/100 = 0.43

q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.43 = 0.57

n = 300

mean, u = np = 300 × 0.43 = 129

Standard deviation, s = √npq = √129×0.57 = 8.575

For a confidence level of 95%, the corresponding z value is 1.96. This is determined from the normal distribution table.

We will apply the formula

Confidence interval

= mean +/- z ×standard deviation/√n

It becomes

129 +/- 1.96 × 8.575/√300

= 129 +/- 0.9704

= 129 +/- 0.9704

The lower end of the confidence interval is 129 - 0.9704 =128.0296

The upper end of the confidence interval is 129 + 0.9704 =129.9704

Therefore, with 95% confidence interval, the mean of the population proportion of republican voters who feel that the federal government has too much power is between 128.0296 and 129.9704

How many liters of a 20% alcohol solution must be mixed with 60 liters of a 90% solution to get a 80% solution?
leva [86]

x = liters of 20% solution

Mixing the 20% solution with the 60 L of 90% solution gives a new mixture with volume (x + 60) L. Each L of the 20% solution contributes 0.2 L of alcohol and thus a total of 0.2x L of alcohol, while the 60 L of 90% solution contributes 54 L of alcohol.

We want the concentration of the new mixture to be 80%, so we require

\dfrac{0.2x+54}{x+60}=0.8

Solve for x:

0.2x+54=0.8x+42

12=0.4x

\implies\boxed{x=30}

So you will need 30 L of the 20% solution.

Need help solving this limit problem.
evablogger [386]

Answer:

c= -1.8

Step-by-step explanation:

A function is continuous at a point x if the limits at x from above and below coincide (are equal). Hence,

Limit from above: \lim_{x\rightarrow\-1^+}f(x)=4c(-1)=6 = -4c-6

Limit from below: \lim_{x\rightarrow\-1^-}f(x)=c(-1)^2+3=c+3

And so when these limits are equal we obtain

c+3=-4c-6\\5c=-9\\c=-1.8
