You begin with $25 in a savings account and $50 in your checking account. Each week you deposit $5 into savings and $10 into che

cking. After how many weeks is the amount in checking twice the amount in savings? Write an equation.

Answer:

The amount in checking will always be twice in any week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say, $w$ represents the week, $s$ represents the saving account and $c$ represents the checking account.

Balance in saving account in any week $=s=5w+25$

Balance in checking account in any week $=c=10w+50$

Translate the statement into mathematical equation. Remember to use " = " for word "is" in the given statement.

We have to find $w$ for $2s = c$ .

Putting the values, we have:

$2(5w+25)=10w+50$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{True\:for\:all}\:w$

Which means in each week the amount in checking is twice the amount in savings.

Best Regards!

A candidate for a US Representative seat from Indiana hires a polling firm to gauge her percentage of support among voters in he

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

a) The minimum sample size is 601.

b) The minimum sample size is 2401.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $1-\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$ .

The margin of error is:

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

For this problem, we have that:

We dont know the true proportion, so we use $\pi = 0.5$ , which is when we are are going to need the largest sample size.

95% confidence level

So $\alpha = 0.05$ , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975$ , so $Z = 1.96$ .

a. If a 95% confidence interval with a margin of error of no more than 0.04 is desired, give a close estimate of the minimum sample size that will guarantee that the desired margin of error is achieved. (Remember to round up any result, if necessary.)

This is n for which M = 0.04. So

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

$0.04 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{n}}$

$0.04\sqrt{n} = 1.96*0.5$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96*0.5}{0.04}$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96*0.5}{0.04})^2$

$n = 600.25$

Rounding up

The minimum sample size is 601.

b. If a 95% confidence interval with a margin of error of no more than 0.02 is desired, give a close estimate of the minimum sample size necessary to achieve the desired margin of error.

Now we want n for which M = 0.02. So

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

$0.02 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{n}}$

$0.02\sqrt{n} = 1.96*0.5$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96*0.5}{0.02}$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96*0.5}{0.02})^2$

$n = 2401$

The minimum sample size is 2401.

Which graphed line represents an equation of a line with a slope of -1 and a point on the line of (1, - 1)? A) red line

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

y = -x

Step-by-step explanation:

slope = change in y/change in x

slope = -1

Find the y-intercept

x value difference between (0,0) and (1,-1) = 1

if change in x = 1 then change in y = -1 so y-intercept = -1 + 1 = 0

y = -x + 0

Jamie is buying 5 concert tickets, and he wants his total cost to be no more than $4 Above or below $80. Which inequality models

kumpel [21]

Answer:

Option C $\left|80-5x\right|\le 4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the cost of the concert ticket

we know that

The total cost to be no more than $4 Above $80

so

$5x\leq 80+4$

Solve for x

$x\leq \$16.80$

The total cost to be no more than $4 below $80

so

$5x\geq 80-4$

Solve for x

$5x\geq 76$

$x\geq \$15.2$

therefore

The inequality that represent this problem is

$\left|5x-80\right|\le 4$

<u><em>Verify</em></u>

<em>First solution (positive case</em>)

$+(5x-80)\le 4$

$5x\le 80+4$

Solve for x

$x\leq \$16.80$ ----> is ok

<em>Second solution (negative case)</em>

$-(5x-80)\le 4$

Multiply by -1 both sides

$(5x-80)\ge -4$

$5x\geq 80-4$

Solve for x

$5x\geq 76$

$x\geq \$15.2$ ---> is ok

Remember that

$\left|5x-80\right|\le 4$ is equivalent to $\left|80-5x\right|\le 4$

Because is a absolute value
