Answer:

0.333 - 2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.333(1-0.333)}{219}}=0.251

0.333 + 2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.333(1-0.333)}{219}}=0.416

The 99% confidence interval would be given (0.251;0.416).

(25.0 ,41.6)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation  

n=219 represent the random sample taken    

X=73 represent the students that reported that they have at least $1000 of credit card debt.

\hat p=\frac{73}{219}=0.333 estimated proportion of students that reported that they have at least $1000 of credit card debt.

\alpha=0.01 represent the significance level

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)    

p= population proportion of students that reported that they have at least $1000 of credit card debt.

2) Confidence interval

The confidence interval would be given by this formula

\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}

For the 99% confidence interval the value of \alpha=1-0.99=0.01 and \alpha/2=0.005, with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.

z_{\alpha/2}=2.58

And replacing into the confidence interval formula we got:

0.333 - 2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.333(1-0.333)}{219}}=0.251

0.333 + 2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.333(1-0.333)}{219}}=0.416

And the 99% confidence interval would be given (0.251;0.416).

We are confident that about 25.1% to 41.6% of students have at least $1000 of credit card debt.

And for this case the most accurate option is:

(25.0 ,41.6)

Alexa and Brent are each working on a 30-question assignment. Alexa completed 20% of the questions. Brent completed 30% of the q
Mandarinka [93]
So 20% of 30 is 6
30% * 30 is 9
Alexa completed 6 of 30 questions 
Brent completed 9 of 30 questions

Brent completed 3 more questions than Alexa

Hope this helps :)

If f(x) = -9x +9 and g(x)+squroot x+1, what is (f degree sign g) 24
Leno4ka [110]
(f ° g) (x) means the composition of the two functions in this order f (g (x) )

So, given f(x) = - 9x + 9 and g(x) = √(x + 1),  you must do this:

f(g(x)) = - 9 [ g(x) ] + 9 = - 9 [√(x+1) ] + 9 => f(g(24) = - 9 √(24 + 1) + 9 = - 9√25 + 9 =

= -9(5) + 9 = -45 + 9 = - 36

Answer: - 36

9. Consider the function f(x) = x² + 3x – 4.
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

  c.  f(x) = (x + 4)(x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you're familiar with the product of two binomials:

  (x +a)(x +b) = x² + (a+b)x + ab

you know that the constants in the binomial factors must ...

  • have a product of -4
  • have a sum of +3

__

All of the choices except B have binomial constants that have a product of -4.

In order, the sums of the remaining choices are ...

  A: 1-4 = -3

  C: 4-1 = 3 . . . . this is the correct choice

  D: -2+2 = 0

The cost to produce a product is modeled by the function f(x) = 5x2 − 70x 258, where x is the number of products produced. compl
ad-work [718]

The minimum cost to produce the product is $7.

What are functions?

  • A function from a set X to a set Y allocates exactly one element of Y to each element of X.

To determine the minimum cost:

We have to determine the minimum cost of producing this product.

Since f(x) = 5x^{2} -70x+258.

Now, consider the equation 5x^{2} -70x+258= 0.

Dividing the above equation by 5, we get

x^{2} -70x/5+258/5=0\\x^{2} -14x+258/5=0

Now, considering the coefficient of 'x', dividing it by '2' and then adding and subtracting the square of the number which we got after dividing.

Since the coefficient of 'x' is 14, and half of 14 is '7'.

So, adding and subtracting from the above equation.

x^{2} -14x+(7)^{2} -(7)^{2}+258/5=0\\x^{2} -14x+49 -49+258/5=0\\(x-7)^{2} -49+258/5=0\\(x-7)^{2} +258-245/5=0\\(x-7)^{2} +13/5=0\\5(x-7)^{2} +13=0

Now, we have to determine the minimum cost to produce the product.

Since f(x) = 5x^{2} -70x+258.

f'(x) = 10x-70

Now, let f'(x)=0

10x-70=0\\10x=70

Therefore, x=7

Now, consider which is greater than 0.

Therefore, x= 7 is the minimum cost.
