Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
we have the following data:
Point estimate = sample mean = \ bar x = 12.39
Population standard deviation = \ sigma = 3.7
Sample size = n = 177
a) the margin of error with a 90% confidence interval
α = 1 - 90%
alpha = 1 - 0.90 = 0.10
alpha / 2 = 0.05
Z \ alpha / 2 = Z0.05 = 1,645
Margin of error = E = Z \ alpha / 2 * (\ sigma / \ sqrtn)
we replace:
E = 1.645 * (3.7 / \ sqrt177)
Outcome:
E = 0.46
b) margin of error with a 99% confidence interval
α = 1-99%
alpha = 1 - 0.99 = 0.01
alpha / 2 = 0.005
Z \ alpha / 2 = Z0.005 = 2,576
Margin of error = E = Z \ alpha / 2 * (\ sigma / \ sqrtn)
we replace:
E = 2,576 * (3.7 / \ sqrt177)
Outcome:
E = 0.72
c) A larger confidence interval value will increase the margin of error.
A parabola is a quadratic function, and a quadratic can be expressed in vertex form, which is:
y=a(x-h)^2+k, where (h,k) is the vertex (absolute maximum or minimum point of the quadratic)
In this case we are given that (h,k) is (-5,80) so we have so far:
y=a(x--5)^2+80
y=a(x+5)^2+80, we are also told that it passes through the point (0,-45) so:
-45=a(0+5)^2+80
-45=25a+80 subtract 80 from both sides
-125=25a divide both sides by 25
-5=a, so now we know the complete vertex form is:
y=-5(x+5)^2+80
The x-intercepts occur when y=0 so:
0=-5(x+5)^2+80 add 5(x+5)^2 to both sides
5(x+5)^2=80 divide both sides by 5
(x+5)^2=16 take the square root of both sides
x+5=±√16 which is
x+5=±4 subtract 5 from both sides
x=-5±4 so the x-intercepts are:
x=-1 and -9
Answer:
Equilateral Triangle
Step-by-step explanation:
Since each side is the same length, divide the perimeter by side length to get the number of sides.
36in ÷ 12in = 3
A triangle has 3 sides.
