42 - 2x is the answer because x is the variable standing in for the number that will be multiplied by 2 (2x means 2 times something) and decreased by just means minus. if you haven't gotten to doing 2x then do 42 - 2*x

1) (-2x+4)+(x-6) is simplified into =-x-2

2)  (uv-3)+(4uv+1)  is simplified into 5uv-2\\

3) (11x-8)-(2x+3) is simplified into -9x-11

4) (x^2-4)-(x-2) is simplified into x^2-x-2

5) (12-3t-7t^2)+(1+3t-t^2) is simplified into -8t^2+13

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the polynomials.

1) (-2x+4)+(x-6)

Solving:

(-2x+4)+(x-6)\\=-2x+4+x-6\\Combining\,\,like\,\,terms:\\=-2x+x+4-6\\=-x-2

So, (-2x+4)+(x-6) is simplified into =-x-2

2) (uv-3)+(4uv+1)

Solving:

(uv-3)+(4uv+1)

Expanding:

=uv-3+4uv+1\\Combining\,\,like\,\,terms:\\=uv+4uv-3+1\\=5uv-2\\

So,  (uv-3)+(4uv+1)  is simplified into 5uv-2\\

3) (11x-8)-(2x+3)

Solving:

(11x-8)-(2x+3)

Expanding:

=11x-8-2x-3\\Combining\,\,like\,\,terms:\,\,\\=11x-2x-8-3\\=-9x-11

So, (11x-8)-(2x+3) is simplified into -9x-11

4) (x^2-4)-(x-2)

Solving:

(x^2-4)-(x-2)

Expanding:

=x^2-4-x+2\\Combining\,\,like\,\,terms:\\=x^2-x-4+2\\=x^2-x-2

SO, (x^2-4)-(x-2) is simplified into x^2-x-2

5) (12-3t-7t^2)+(1+3t-t^2)

Solving:

(12-3t-7t^2)+(1+3t-t^2)

Expanding:

=12-3t-7t^2+1+3t-t^2\\Combining\,\,like\,\,terms:\\=12+1-3t+3t-7t^2-t^2\\=13+0t-8t^2\\=-8t^2+13

So, (12-3t-7t^2)+(1+3t-t^2) is simplified into -8t^2+13

Gun ownership Concerned about recent incidence of gun violence, a public interest group conducts a poll of 850 randomly selected
denis23 [38]

Answer:

a.

The 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all American adults who have a gun in their home is (0.4066, 0.4734). This means that we are 95% sure that the true population proportions of American adults who have a gun in their home is between these two values.

b.

The confidence level is the probability of the confidence interval containing the population proportion.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

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}.

Poll of 850 randomly selected American adults and finds that 44% of those surveyed have a gun in their home.

This means that n = 850, \pi = 0.44

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.

The lower limit of this interval is:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.44 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.44*0.56}{850}} = 0.4066

The upper limit of this interval is:

\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.44 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.44*0.56}{850}} = 0.4734

The 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all American adults who have a gun in their home is (0.4066, 0.4734). This means that we are 95% sure that the true population proportions of American adults who have a gun in their home is between these two values.

b. Explain what is meant by 95% confidence in this context.

The confidence level is the probability of the confidence interval containing the population proportion.
