1 : 500,000

multiplied by 7 cm is

7 cm : 3,500,000 cm

= 7 cm : 35000.00 m . . . (100 cm in 1 m)

= 7 cm : 35 km . . . (1000 m in 1 km)

The actual distance between the towns is 35 km.

"A cable TV company wants to estimate the percentage of cable boxes in use during an evening hour. An approximation is 20 percen

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

The company should take a sample of 148 boxes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The cable TV company whats to know what sample size to take to estimate the proportion/percentage of cable boxes in use during an evening hour.

They estimated a "pilot" proportion of p'=0.20

And using a 90% confidence level the CI should have a margin of error of 2% (0.02).

The CI for the population proportion is made using an approximation of the standard normal distribution, and its structure is "point estimation" ± "margin of error"

[p' ± $Z_{1-\alpha /2} * \sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} }$ ]

Where

p' is the sample proportion/point estimator of the population proportion

$Z_{1-\alpha /2} * \sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} }$ is the margin of error (d) of the confidence interval.

$Z_{1-\alpha /2} = Z_{1-0.05} = Z_{0.95}= 1.648$

$d= Z_{1-\alpha /2} * \sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} }$

$d *Z_{1-\alpha /2}= \sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} }$

$(d*Z_{1-\alpha /2})^2= \frac{p'(1-p')}{n}$

$n*(d*Z_{1-\alpha /2})^2= p'(1-p')$

$n= \frac{p'(1-p')}{(d*Z_{1-\alpha /2})^2}$

$n= \frac{0.2(1-0.2)}{(0.02*1.648)^2}$

n= 147.28 ≅ 148 boxes.

I hope it helps!

5y + 2 + 6 + 2y 5y + 2(y + 3) + 2 combining like terms 6y − y + 2y + 10 − 4 + 2 Commutative Property Distributive Property arrow

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Distributive Property

Step-by-step explanation:

5y + 2 + 6 + 2y

= 5y + 2(y + 3) + 2 This is the distributive property of multiplication w.r.t. addition

= 6y − y + 2y + 10 − 4 + 2

The distributive property of multiplication with respect to addition is the one which separates each term by using multiplication and then addition.

So we see that 2 is multiplied with y and 3 and then added with the like terms. If there was a minus sign the property would be distributive over subtraction.
