<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

Let \hat{p} denotes the sample proportion.

As per given , we have

n= 200

\hat{p}=\dfrac{30}{200}=0.15

Critical value for 99% confidence : z_{\alpha/2}=2.576

Confidence interval for population proportion :-

\hat{p}\pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}\\\\=0.15\pm (2.576)(\sqrt{\dfrac{0.15(1-0.15)}{200}})\\\\\approx0.15\pm0.065\\\\=(0.15-0.065,\ 0.15+0.065)\\\\=(0.085,\ 0.215)

Hence, a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of all individuals that use Firefox: (0.085,\ 0.215)

The lower limit on the 99% confidence interval = 0.085

How to solve: a parade traveled 4 miles in 2 hours. how far did tge parade travel per minute?
jek_recluse [69]

There's a really easy way to convert any units to other units.

Right now, we have the fraction  (4 miles) / (2 hours).

We want to find a fraction that's exactly equal to that one,
but has the units of  (miles/minute)  or maybe  (feet/minute).

Just take the original fraction, and multiply it by some other
fractions.

Each fraction you multiply it by must have the value of ' 1 ' so
you don't change the value of the original fraction.  But it can
have different units, that cancel with other units to eventually
give you the units you want.

      (4 miles / 2 hours) times (1 hour / 60 minutes)

The second fraction is equal to ' 1 ', because the top and the bottom
have the same value ...  1 hour is the same thing as  60 minutes.

Multiply the fractions:  (4 miles x 1 hour) / (2 hour x 60 minutes)

Now you can cancel 'hour' from the top and the bottom, and you have

             (4 miles x 1) / (2 x 60 minutes)

               = (4 miles) / (120 minutes) 

               =          (4 / 120) mile/minute = 0.0333... mile / minute .

Let's do it again, go a little farther, and get an answer that
might mean more and feel more like an answer. 

   (4 miles) / (2 hours) x (5280 feet / mile) x (1 hour / 60 minutes)

The 2nd and 3rd fractions both have the value of ' 1 ', because
the top is equal to the bottom. 

Multiply all three fractions: 

     (4 miles x 5280 feet x 1 hour) / (2 hours x 1 mile x 60 minutes)

You can cancel both 'mile' and 'hour' out of the top and bottom,
and look what you have left:

     (4 x 5280 feet x 1) / (2 x 1 x 60 minutes)

  =  (4 x 5280) / (2 x 60)  feet / minutes

  =  (21,120 / 120)  feet/minute   =    176 feet per minute

-4d + 2(3 + d) = -14<br><br> Please help
soldi70 [24.7K]
-4d + 2(3+d)= -14
distribute the 2(3+d)
-4d + 6+ 2d= -14
Combine the like terms
-4d + 2d + 6= -14
-2d + 6 = -14
subtract 6 to -14 
-2d = -20
divide by -2
d= -20/-2
d= 10
Check your answer 
-4(10) + 2(3+ 10) = -14
-40 + 6 + 20
-40 + 26= -14
