Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using normal distribution

z = (x - mean) / standard deviation

Nine percent of americans say they are well informed about politics in comparison to most people.

That means probability of success is p =9/100 = 0.09,

then probability of failure is

q = 1-p =1 -0.09= 0.91

n = number of sample = 200

x=(8% of 200) = 0.08×200 =16

mean = np = 200×0.09= 18

Standard deviation = npq = 200×0.09×0.91= 16.38

We are looking for the probability that less than 8% of the people sampled will answer yes to the question

8% of 200 = 16

P (x greater than 16) =P(x lesser than/equal to 15)

z = 15-18 /16.38 = -3/16.38

= -0.18

Looking at the normal distribution table

P(x greater than 16) = 0.5714

The initial price of buzz stock is $20 per share. After 20 days the stock price is $30 per share and after 40 days the price is
Temka [501]

Answer:

s(t) = -\dfrac{t^2}{160}+\dfrac{5}{8}t+20

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

initial price of buzz stock = $ 20 per share

after 20 days

stock price = $30 per share

after 40 days

the price =  $35 per share

let say it is modeled by

y = ax² + b x + c

x = number of days

y = stock price

x = 0 y = 20

20 = a x 0 + b x 0 + c

c = 20

x = 20 y = 30

30 = 20² a + 20 b + 20

400 a + 20 b = 10...........(1)

x = 40 y = 35

35 = 40² a + 40 b + 20

1600 a + 40 b = 15...........(2)

solving equation (1)and (2)

a = - 1/160

b = 5/8

y = -\dfrac{x^2}{160}+\dfrac{5}{8}x+20

s(t) = -\dfrac{t^2}{160}+\dfrac{5}{8}t+20

hence , the above equation is multipart function

How do I solve/ set up equation? Will give brainliest pls help
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

See below ~

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Finding x</u>

  • 2x - 28 = x/2
  • 3/2x = 28
  • 3x = 56
  • x = 56/3 = 18.66666667

  1. The exact side length of the small square is <u>18.66666667 cm</u> and the exact side length of the big square is <u>37.3333334 cm</u>.
  2. The approximate side length of the small square is <u>18.7 cm</u> and the approximate side length of the big square is <u>37.3 cm</u>.
