A poll was conducted to determine what percentage of the peoplesupport a certain candidate for the U.S. Senate.400 people were s

urveyed, and44% of them said they support thecandidate. If we require a confidence level of99%, what margin of error do we report?

Answer: 0.064

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the margin of error :-

$E=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}$

Given : Significance level : $\alpha=1-0.99=0.01$

Critical value : $z_{\alpha/2}=2.576$

Sample size : n=400

The proportion of people support the candidate :p=0.44

Then , $E=(2.576)\sqrt{\dfrac{0.44(1-0.44)}{400}}\approx0.064$

Hence, Margin of error = 0.064

Let C ( t ) be the number of US cell phone subscribers in millions in t years since 1995. A linear model for the data is F ( t )

Andru [333]

ANSWER

In 16 years time.

EXPLANATION.

If the number of subscribers is 324 million, then it means

$f(t)=324$

But we were given that,

$f(t)=18.997t+16.711$

This implies that,

$324=18.997t+16.711$

We now solve for t,

$324-16.711=18.997t$

$307.289=18.997t$

$\frac{307.289}{18.997}=t$

$16.17566=t$

That will be approximately in the 16th year.

Exercise 2.4.2: Proving statements about rational numbers with direct proofs. About Prove each of the following statements using

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Proof: Product of two rational numbers

Using direct proofs.

Let the two rational numbers be A and B.

Such that:

$A = \frac{1}{2}$

$B = \frac{2}{3}$

The product:

$A * B = \frac{1}{2} * \frac{2}{3}$

$A * B = \frac{1}{1} * \frac{1}{3}$

$A * B = 1 * \frac{1}{3}$

$A * B = \frac{1}{3}$

Proved, because 1/3 is rational

(b) Proof: Quotient of a rational number and a non-zero rational number

Using direct proofs.

Let the two rational numbers be A and B.

Such that:

$A = \frac{1}{2}$

$B = \frac{2}{3}$

The quotient:

$A / B = \frac{1}{2} / \frac{2}{3}$

Express as product

$A / B = \frac{1}{2} / \frac{3}{2}$

$A / B = \frac{1*3}{2*2}$

$A / B = \frac{3}{4}$

Proved, because 3/4 is rational

(c) x + y is rational (missing from the question)

Using direct proofs.

Let x and y be

Such that:

$x = \frac{1}{2}$

$y = \frac{2}{3}$

The sum:

$x + y = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{2}{3}$

Take LCM

$x + y = \frac{3+4}{6}$

$x + y = \frac{7}{6}$

Proved, because 7/6 is rational

<em>The above proof works for all values of A, B, x and y; as long as they are rational values</em>

MAKE SURE IT IS 100% CORRECT

masha68 [24]

They are vertical angles. They are congruent.

(2x+2)= (3x-52)

Add 52 to the other side.

2x+54=3x

Subtract 2x on both sides.

54=x

I hope this helps!
