Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can calculate this confidence interval using the population proportion calculation. To do this we must find p' and q'

Where p' = 14/100= 0.14 (no of left handed sample promotion)

q' = 1-p' = 1-0.14= 0.86

Since the requested confidence level is CL = 0.98, then α = 1 – CL = 1 – 0.98 = 0.02/2= 0.01, z (0.01) = 2.326

Using p' - z alpha √(p'q'/n) for the lower interval - 0.14-2.326√(0.14*0.86/100)

= -2.186√0.00325

= -2.186*0.057

= 12.46%

Using p' + z alpha √(p'q'/n)

0.14+2.326√(0.14*0.86/100)

= 0.466*0.057

= 26.5%

Thus we estimate with 98% confidence that between 12% and 27% of all Americans are left handed.

F(x) = x+3 and g(x) = x^2 - 2. (f -g)(3t)
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

(f - g)(x) = (x+3) – ( x² –2)

= (x+3) + ( - x²+2)

= – x²+x +5

(f -g)(3t) = - (3t)² + (3t)+5

= - 9t²+3t+5

I hope I helped you^_^

A cruise ship travels 300 miles due east. It travels 175 miles along it's new course. How far is the cruise ship from it's initi
Akimi4 [234]
The answer depends on where the ship starts from. If it starts on the equator, the answer is 459.938 miles.
If it starts at 70° N, then the distance is 446.084 miles.
And if the ship is on a flat earth, the distance is 459.954 miles (very close to the distance on a round Earth starting at the equator). Hope this helps!
