The answer is choice D

-----------------------------------------

Explanation:

We can rule out choice B and choice C which are y = 2.4^x and y = 3.5^x respectively. Why can we eliminate these? Because they are growth functions (the bases are larger than 1). The graph shown is a decay function. It goes downhill as you read it from left to right.

The answer is either choice A or choice D

If we plug in x = -2 into the equations for A and D, we get
y = 0.65^x = 0.65^(-2) = 2.36686
y = 0.32^x = 0.32^(-2) = 9.765625

The result for choice D is much closer to what the graph is showing. The graph appears to have the point (-2,11) on the curve. So that's why choice D is the best answer.

Note: the graph is a bit small and its not entirely clear which points are on this graph other than (0,1). So this is a bit of educated guesswork.

17. You roll a number cube. How likely is it that you will roll a number less than 7? Explain

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

1 or 100%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of rolling less than 7 is equal to the probability of rolling 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6. That is 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 = 6/6. So any number from the dice can come up when you roll it because a perfect dice has 6 sides.

NASA is conducting an experiment to find out the fraction of people who black out at G forces greater than 6. In an earlier stud

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

The large sample n = 190.44≅190

The large sample would be required in order to estimate the fraction of people who black out at 6 or more Gs at the 85% confidence level with an error of at most 0.04 is n = 190.44

Step-by-step explanation:

Given population proportion was estimated to be 0.3

p = 0.3

Given maximum of error E = 0.04

we know that maximum error

$M.E = \frac{Z_{\alpha } \sqrt{p(1-p)} }{\sqrt{n} }$

The 85% confidence level $z_{\alpha } = 1.44$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{Z_{\alpha } \sqrt{p(1-p)} }{m.E}$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.44X\sqrt{0.3(1-0.3} }{0.04}$

now calculation , we get

√n=13.80

now squaring on both sides n = 190.44

large sample n = 190.44≅190

Conclusion:-

Hence The large sample would be required in order to estimate the fraction of people who black out at 6 or more Gs at the 85% confidence level with an error of at most 0.04 is n = 190.44

Samantha buys a pair of sneakers that were originally $60. They were on sale for 25%

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

$47.70

Step-by-step explanation:

60.00 x .25 = 15 ( so $15.00 off the shoes )

60.00-15.00 = 45.00

45.00 x .06 = 2.70 (2.70 is your sales tax so add that to you sale price )

$45.00 + $2.70 =$47.70 Total
