1. Let a be a positive real number. In Part (1) of Theorem 3.25, we proved that for each real number x, jxj < a if and only i

f a < x < a. It is important to realize that the sentence a < x < a is actually the conjunction of two inequalities. That is, a < x < a means that a < x and x < a. ? (a) Complete the following statement: For each real number x, jxj a if and only if . . . . (b) Prove that for each real number x, jxj a if and only if a x a. (c) Complete the following statement: For each real number x, jxj > a if and only if .

Answer:

(a)

if x \geq 0 then  x \geq a and if x<0 then -x > a

(b)

That is straightforward from what you showed on theorem 3.25

(c)

Following the same ideas from (a) x>a or -x > a.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember how we define the absolute value of a number.

(a)

In general

|x| = x  \,\,\,\text{if}  \,\,\,\, x \geq 0 \\|x| = -x  \,\,\,\text{if}  \,\,\,\, x < 0

Therefore if |x| \geq a   you have two cases, if x \geq 0 then  x \geq a and if x<0 then -x > a

(b)

That is straightforward from what you showed on theorem 3.25

(c)

Following the same ideas from (a) x>a or -x > a.

A recent poll of 120 randomly selected adults who frequent the local​ farmer's market found that 54 have purchased reusable clot
Olenka [21]

Answer:

95% Confidence interval:  (0.361,0.539)    

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample size, n = 120

Number of farmers who reusable cloth bags, x = 54

\hat{p} = \dfrac{x}{n} = \dfrac{54}{120} = 0.45

95% Confidence interval:

\hat{p}\pm z_{stat}\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}

z_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.05} = \pm 1.96

Putting the values, we get:

0.45\pm 1.96(\sqrt{\dfrac{0.45(1-0.45)}{120}}) = 0.45\pm 0.089\\\\=(0.361,0.539)

is the required 95% confidence interval for the proportion of adults who have purchased reusable cloth​ bags.

Express the decimal as a percent. 0.053
velikii [3]

Hey this is very easy to learn! So to express a decimal as a percent all we have to do is multiply it by 100. So multiplying .053 by 100 would just mean moving the decimal point 2 spaces to the right.

So the answer would be 5.3%

I hope this helps!
