Answer:

B. Larger sample size and lower confidence level

Step-by-step explanation:

The margin of error of a confidence interval is given by the following formula:

$M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

z is related to the confidence level. The higher the confidence level, the higher the value of Z.

So, the margin of error is direct proportion to the confidence level and inverse proportional to the sample size.

We want to decrease the margin of error.

So the correct answer is:

B. Larger sample size and lower confidence level

Write an explicit function for f(x) Can anyone help me with this please I’ll mark as brainliest

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Explicit Function:

Any function which when expressed in terms of the independent variable is called an explicit function. For example, if we write y=f(x)

, then the dependent variable y is given in terms of the independent variable x by the function f(x). Thus y=f(x) is an explicit function. But, g(x,y)=c

is not explicit as it is a combination of both x and y. Such a function is called implicit.

Step-by-step explanation:

What is meant by implicit function?

An implicit function is a function that is defined by an implicit equation. That means the equation contains several variables, including dependent and independent. In other words, it is an equation that relates one of the variables, recognized as the value of the function, with the others regarded as the arguments.

What is an explicit function?

An explicit function is a function that is represented in terms of an independent variable. For example, y = 4x – 7 is explicit where y is a dependent variable and is dependent on the independent variable x.

How do you know if a function is implicit?

If a function is written in the form f(x, y) = 0, we can say that the given function is implicit.

What is implicit function differentiation?

We differentiate or find the derivative for both sides of the equation in implicit function differentiation.

What is explicit and implicit?

In general, “explicit” means clearly stated, whereas “implicit” refers to proposed and not stated directly.

Lisa has a certain amount of money. She spent 39 dollars and has 3/4th of the original amount left. How much money did she have

harina [27]

If $\frac { 3 }{ 4 }$ is left, that means $\frac { 1 }{ 4 }$ was spent. So $\frac { 1 }{ 4 }$ of the total amount is equal to 39.. Let's say x to the total amount. $\frac { 1 }{ 4 } \cdot x=39\\ x=4\cdot 39\\ x=156\\$
