Answer:

a) $n=\frac{0.76(1-0.76)}{(\frac{0.01}{1.64})^2}=4905.83$

And rounded up we have that n=4906

b) For this case since we don't have prior info we need to use as estimatro for the proportion $\hat p =0.5$

$n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.01}{1.64})^2}=6724$

And rounded up we have that n=6724

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to remember that the confidence interval for the true proportion is given by :

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

Part a

The estimated proportion for this case is $\hat p =0.76$

Our interval is at 90% of confidence, and the significance level is given by $\alpha=1-0.90=0.1$ and $\alpha/2 =0.05$ . The critical values for this case are:

$z_{\alpha/2}=-1.64, t_{1-\alpha/2}=1.64$

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)

The margin of error desired is given $ME =\pm 0.01$ and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

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

Replacing we got:

$n=\frac{0.76(1-0.76)}{(\frac{0.01}{1.64})^2}=4905.83$

And rounded up we have that n=4906

Part b

For this case since we don't have prior info we need to use as estimatro for the proportion $\hat p =0.5$

$n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.01}{1.64})^2}=6724$

And rounded up we have that n=6724

Follow the process of completing the square to solve 2x2 + 8x - 12 = 0.

Rom4ik [11]

Please: Use "^" to denote exponentiation: 2x^2 + 8x - 12 = 0

Reduce this by div. every term by 2: x^2 + 4x - 6 = 0

Here a=1, b=4 and c = -6. Square half of b, obtaining (4/2)^2 = 4, and add, and then subtract, this 4 to x^2 + 4x - 6:

 x^2 + 4x +4 - 4 - 6 = 0. Rewrite the square as (x+2)^2, obtaining new equation

(x+2)^2 = 10. Take the sqrt of both sides: x+2 = plus or minus sqrt(10).

Finally, solve for x: x = -2 plus or minus sqrt(10).

Help me pls!!

(a) Truck carries 90 gallons of diesel fuel to 660 miles.

So, 1 gallon of diesel fuel to 660/90 = 22/3 miles.

30 gallons of diesel fuel to = 220 miles.

Hence, if x-axis represents the number of miles and y-axis represents the number of gallons, then, (660, 90) and (220, 30) are points on the graph.

Join (660, 90) and (220, 30), we get the graph of a line.

Note that (0, 0) is also a point on the line.

Equation of the line is .

(b) x represents the number of miles. Therefore, the possible values for x is the closed interval [0, 660].

Hence, the domain of the function is [0, 660].
