First we have to find the vertex (h,k) h is also x and it also is the a xis symmetry

1st: group the number
(X2+6x)-9

2nd: use b/2

6/2 = 3 , 3^2= 9

(X2+6x+9)-9-9

(X2 + 3)-18

Vertex is 3,-18 so the symmetry is 3

A random sample of 864 births in a state included 426 boys. Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of bo

oksian1 [2.3K]

Using the z-distribution, it is found that the 95% confidence interval is (0.46, 0.526), and it does not provide strong evidence against that belief.

<h3>What is a confidence interval of proportions?</h3>

A confidence interval of proportions is given by:

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which:

$\pi$ is the sample proportion.

z is the critical value.

n is the sample size.

In this problem, we have a 95% confidence level, hence $\alpha = 0.95$ , z is the value of Z that has a p-value of $\frac{1+0.95}{2} = 0.975$ , so the critical value is z = 1.96.

We have that a random sample of 864 births in a state included 426 boys, hence the parameters are given by:

$n = 864, \pi = \frac{426}{864} = 0.493$

Then, the bounds of the interval are given by:

$\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.493 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.493(0.507)}{864}} = 0.46$

$\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.493 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.493(0.507)}{864}} = 0.526$

The 95% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of boys in all births is (0.46, 0.526). Since the interval contains 0.506, it does not provide strong evidence against that belief.

List the steps that should be used to solve the equation f(x) = g(x) by graphing when f(x) = (1/2)² - 3 and g(x) = 3x + 5?

jolli1 [7]

value of x is: $x=\frac{-31}{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the equation f(x)=g(x)

where $f(x)=(\frac{1}{2})^2-3$

and $g(x) = 3x + 5$

Solving to find f(x)=g(x)

Putting values of f(x) and g(x)

$f(x)=g(x)\\(\frac{1}{2})^2-3=3x + 5\\\frac{1}{4}-3=3x + 5\\Subtarct\,\,5\,\,on\,\,both\,\,sides:\\\frac{1}{4}-3-5=3x + 5-5\\\frac{1}{4}-8=3x\\Taking\,\,LCm\,\,on\,\,left\,\,side\\\frac{1-8*4}{4}=3x\\\frac{-31}{4}=3x\\Divide\,\,both\,\,sides\,\,by\,\,3\\x=\frac{-31}{4*3}\\x=\frac{-31}{12}$

So, value of x is: $x=\frac{-31}{12}$

The graph will be a straight line x= -2.58 or x = -31/12
