Answer:

-\frac{7}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we are using the average rate of change formula:

m=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}

where

m is the average rate of change

a is the first point

b is the second point

f(a) is the function evaluated at the first point

f(b) is the function evaluated at the second point

We want to know the average rate of change of the function f(x)=0.5^x-6 form x = -3 to x = 0, so our first point is -3 and our second point is 0. In other words, a=-3 and b=0.

Replacing values

m=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}

m=\frac{0.5^0-6-(0.5^{-3}-6)}{0-(-3)}

m=\frac{1-6-(8-6)}{3}

m=\frac{-5-(2)}{3}

m=\frac{-5-2}{3}

m=\frac{-7}{3}

m=-\frac{7}{3}

We can conclude that the average rate of change of the exponential equation form x = -3 to x = 0 is -\frac{7}{3}

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
Answer: x = 20

We know opposite angles are equivalent so we can set both of these expressions equal to each other to solve for x.

3x + 50 = 6x - 10
50 = 3x - 10 (subtract 3x from both sides)
60 = 3x (add 10 to both sides)
20 = x (divide both sides by 3)

A survey reported in Time magazine included the question ‘‘Do you favor a federal law requiring a day waiting period to purchase
il63 [147K]

Answer:

The  90% confidence interval for the difference between proportions is (-0.260, -0.165).

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>The question is incomplete. The complete question is:</em>

<em>"A survey reported in Time magazine included the question ‘‘Do you favor a federal law requiring a 15 day waiting period to purchase a gun?” Results from a random sample of US citizens showed that </em><em>318 of the 520 men </em><em>who were surveyed supported this proposed law while </em><em>379 of the 460 women </em><em>sampled said ‘‘yes”. Use this information to find a </em><em>90% confidence interval</em><em> for the difference in the two proportions, </em><em>pm - pw.</em><em> </em><em>Subscript pm</em><em> is the proportion of men who support the proposed law and </em><em>pw</em><em> is the proportion of women who support the proposed law. (Round answers to 3 decimal places.)"</em>

We want to calculate the bounds of a 90% confidence interval.

For a 90% CI, the critical value for z is z=1.645.

The sample of men, of size nm=-0.26 has a proportion of pm=0.612.

p_m=X_m/n_m=318/520=0.612

The sample 2, of size nw= has a proportion of pw=0.824.

p_w=X_w/n_w=379/460=0.824

The difference between proportions is (pm-pw)=-0.212.

p_d=p_m-p_w=0.612-0.824=-0.212

The pooled proportion, needed to calculate the standard error, is:

p=\dfrac{X_m+X_w}{n_m+n_w}=\dfrac{318+379}{520+460}=\dfrac{697}{980}=0.711

The estimated standard error of the difference between means is computed using the formula:

s_{pm-pw}=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_m}+\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_w}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.711*0.289}{520}+\dfrac{0.711*0.289}{460}}\\\\\\s_{pm-pw}=\sqrt{0.00039+0.00045}=\sqrt{0.001}=0.029

Then, the margin of error is:

MOE=z \cdot s_{pm-pw}=1.645\cdot 0.029=0.0477

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

LL=(p_1-p_2)-z\cdot s_{p1-p2} = -0.212-0.0477=-0.260\\\\UL=(p_1-p_2)+z\cdot s_{p1-p2}= -0.212+0.0477=-0.165

The  90% confidence interval for the difference between proportions is (-0.260, -0.165).

A data set includes the following SAT scores: 340, 560, 480, 680, 700. Suppose an additional score of 700 is inserted in the dat
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first arrange it in ascending order :

340, 480, <u>560</u>, 680, 700

<u>560</u> is clearly the median.

Now add an additional score of 700 to the data :

340, 480, <u>560, 680</u>, 700 ,700

<u>560, 680</u> is separating both halves but is not the median

Median = (560+680)/2

             = 1240 / 2

Median  = 620
