Derive the equation of the parabola with a focus at (2, −1) and a directrix of y = −one half.

Vertical parabola opens down so
(y-k)^2=4P(x-h)
(h,k) is center
P is distance from directix to center and from center to focus (it is 1/2 distance between focus and directix)
-1 to -1/2 is a distance of 1/2
1/2 of 1/2=1/4
P=1/4

so move 1/4  down from -1/2
-3/4
center is (2,-3/4)

so
y+3/4=(x-2)^2
minus 3/4
y=(x-2)^2-3/4
f(x)=(x-2)^2-3/4

you made an error, either the last or first option doesn't have -(x+2)^2

10. In a survey of 212 people at the local track and field championship, 72% favored the home team
igomit [66]

Answer:

a. The margin of error for the survey is of 0.0308 = 3.08%.

b. The 95% confidence interval that is likely to contain the exact percent of all people who favor the home team winning is (65.96%, 78.04%).

Step-by-step explanation:

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 z-score that has a p-value of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

The margin of error of the survey is:

M = \sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

The confidence interval can be written as:

\pi \pm zM

In a survey of 212 people at the local track and field championship, 72% favored the home team winning.

This means that n = 212, \pi = 0.72

a. Find the margin of error for the survey.

M = \sqrt{\frac{0.72*0.28}{212}} = 0.0308

The margin of error for the survey is of 0.0308 = 3.08%.

b. Give the 95% confidence interval that is likely to contain the exact percent of all people who favor the home team winning.

95% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.05, z is the value of Z that has a p-value of 1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975, so Z = 1.96.

Lower bound:

\pi - zM = 0.72 - 1.96*0.0308 = 0.6596

Upper bound:

\pi + zM = 0.72 + 1.96*0.0308 = 0.7804

As percent:

0.6596*100% = 65.96%

0.7804*100% = 78.04%.

The 95% confidence interval that is likely to contain the exact percent of all people who favor the home team winning is (65.96%, 78.04%).

Answer:

Probability that song selected after first selection is rock = 2/7

Probability that song selected from the remaining after second selection is country rock = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of songs = 7

After first selection, probability that the song selected is rock = 2/7

After second selection, probability that the song selected from the remaining is a country song = 3/6 = 1/2
