A study sampled 350 upperclassmen (Group 1) and 250 underclassmen (Group 2) at high schools around the city of Portland. The stu

dy was performed at the end of the school year and asked each if they had used steroids at any point in the last school year. Of the upperclassmen, 23 claimed to have used steroids in the last school year, and of the underclassmen, 21 claimed to have used steroids. Run a 95% confidence interval to test for a significant difference in the proportions of students who used steroids. Enter the confidence interval - round to 3 decimal places.

Answer:

-0.061 < P_1 -P_2< 0.025

Step-by-step explanation:

Give data:

n_1 = 350

n_2 =250

x_1 = 23

x_2 = 21

\hat{P} 1 = \frac{x_1}{n_1} = \frac{23}{350} = 0.066

\hat{P} 2 = \frac{x_2}{n_2} = \frac{21}{250} = 0.084

for 95% confidence interval

\alpha = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05 and \alpha/2 = 0.025

z_{\alpha/2} = 1.96  from standard z- table

confidence interval for P_1  and P_2 is

\hat{P} 1 - \hat{P} 2 \pm z_{\alpja/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat{P} 1(1-\hat{P} 1)}{n_1} +\frac{\hat{P} 2(1-\hat{P} 2)}{n_2}}

(0.066 - 0.084) \pm 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.066(1-0.066)}{350} +\frac{0.084(1-0.084)}{250}}

-0.018 \pm 0.043

confidence interval is

-0.018 - 0.043 < P_1 -P_2

-0.061 < P_1 -P_2< 0.025

The sum of a number and 3 times its reciprocal is -4.Find the number
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

x = -1 or x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 3/x = -4

x² + 3 = -4x

x² + 4x + 3 = 0

(x + 1) (x + 3) = 0

x = -1 or x = -3

check: (-1) + (3/-1) = -1 - 3 = -4

           (-3) + (3/(-3)) = -3 -1 = 14

Which piece wise function is graphed below
AlekseyPX

Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is how to approach the problem:

We see that all our restrictions for all four answer choices are relatively the same with a couple of changes here and there.
One way to eliminate choices would be to look at which restrictions don't match the graph.

At x<-5, there is a linear function that does have a -2 slope and will intersect the x axis at -7. The line ends with an open circle, so any answer choice with a linear restriction of x less than or equal to -5 is wrong. This cancels out choices C and D.

Now we have two choices left.

For the quadratic in the middle, the vertex is at (-2,6) and the vertex is a maximum, meaning our graph needs to have a negative sign in front of the highest degree term. In our case, none of our quadratics left are in standard form, and instead are in vertex form.

Vertext form is f(x) = a(x-h)^2 + k.

h being the x-coordinate of the vertex and k being the y-coordinate.

We know that the opposite of h will be the actual x-coordinate of the vertex, so if our vertex is -2, we will see x+2 inside the parenthesis. This leaves option A as the only correct choice.
