Answer:

a. p`± z₀.₀₂₅\sqrt{ \frac{p`q`}{n}  

b.0.6 ±  1.96 \sqrt \frac{0.6* 0.4}{1000}  

c. { -1.96 ≤  p`± z₀.₀₂₅\sqrt{ \frac{p`q`}{n}     ≥ 1.96} = 0.95  

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the total number of trials is n= 1000

The number of successes is p` = 600/1000 = 0.6. The q` is 1 - p`= 1- 0.6 = 0.4

The degree of confidence is 95 %  therefore z₀.₀₂₅ = 1.96 ( α/2 = 0.025)

a.  The formula used will be

p`± z₀.₀₂₅\sqrt{ \frac{p`q`}{n}       ( z with the base alpha by 2 (α/2 = 0.025))

b. Putting the values

0.6 ±  1.96 \sqrt \frac{0.6* 0.4}{1000}  

c. Confidence Interval in Interval Notation.

{ -1.96 ≤  p`± z₀.₀₂₅\sqrt{ \frac{p`q`}{n}     ≥ 1.96} = 0.95  

{ -z( base alpha by 2) ≤  p`± z₀.₀₂₅\sqrt{ \frac{p`q`}{n}     ≥ z( base alpha by 2)  } = 1- α

The line passes through the points (-5,0) and (-1,-4)<br> The slope of the line is
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

-1.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you find the distance from the first x coordinate to the second. This is done by doing -5 - -1 (aka -5 + 1), which equals -4. Then, you find the distance form the first y coordinate to the second. THis is done by doing 0 - -4 (aka 0 + 4), which equals 4. Then, you divide the distance of the y's over the distance of the x's, which gets you the slope, which is -1. Hope this helped!

Which equation is in point-slope form for the given point and slope?
grin007 [14]
The equation of a straight line is y=mx+b, where m is the slope of the line.
By substituting the given information into this equation, we get:
7=(2/3×1)+b 
Now solve to find b, the y intercept:
7=2/3+b
b=19/3
So the equation of the line is y=2/3x+19/3

John wants to build a corral next to his barn. He has 300 feet of fencing to enclose three sides of his rectangular yard.
Mandarinka [93]
Let's first define the variables:
 x = width
 300 - 2x = long
 The area will be:
 A = (x) * (300 - 2x)
 A = 300x - 2x²
 We look for the maximum area, for this, we derive:
 A '= 300 - 4x
 We match zero:
 0 = 300 - 4x
 x = 300/4 = 75
 Therefore, the width is:
 x = 75 feet
 The length is:
 300 - 2x = 300 - 2 (75) = 300-150
 150 feet
 Answer:
 Part A:
 
The maximum area will be:
 
A = (150) * (75) = 11250 square feet
 
Part B:
 
The dimensions are:
 
Length = 150 feet
 width = 75 feet
