This is called slope

Answer:

\hat p = \frac{14}{105}= 0.133

And that represent the proportion of failures.

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:  

\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}

If we replace the values obtained we got:

0.133 - 2.58\sqrt{\frac{0.133(1-0.133)}{105}}=0.0475

0.133 + 2.58\sqrt{\frac{0.133(1-0.133)}{105}}=0.2185

The 99% confidence interval would be given by (0.0475;0.2185)

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concept

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

The population proportion have the following distribution

p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})

Solution to the problem

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 99% of confidence, our significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.99=0.01 and \alpha/2 =0.005. And the critical value would be given by:

z_{\alpha/2}=-2.58, z_{1-\alpha/2}=2.58

The proportion estimated would be:

\hat p = \frac{14}{105}= 0.133

And that represent the proportion of failures.

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:  

\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}

If we replace the values obtained we got:

0.133 - 2.58\sqrt{\frac{0.133(1-0.133)}{105}}=0.0475

0.133 + 2.58\sqrt{\frac{0.133(1-0.133)}{105}}=0.2185

The 99% confidence interval would be given by (0.0475;0.2185)

If f(x) = 2x + 3 and g(x) = (x - 3)/2, what is the value of f[g(-5)]?
kap26 [50]
<span>If f(x) = 2x + 3 and g(x) = (x - 3)/2, what is the value of f[g(-5)]? f[g(-5)] means substitute -5 for x in the right side of g(x), simplify, then substitute what you get for x in the right side of f(x), then simplify. It's a "double substitution". To find f[g(-5)], work it from the inside out. In f[g(-5)], do only the inside part first. In this case the inside part if the red part g(-5) g(-5) means to substitute -5 for x in g(x) = (x - 3)/2 So we take out the x's and we have g( ) = ( - 3)/2 Now we put -5's where we took out the x's, and we now have g(-5) = (-5 - 3)/2 Then we simplify: g(-5) = (-8)/2 g(-5) = -4 Now we have the g(-5)] f[g(-5)] means to substitute g(-5) for x in f[x] = 2x + 3 So we take out the x's and we have f[ ] = 2[ ] + 3 Now we put g(-5)'s where we took out the x's, and we now have f[g(-5)] = 2[g(-5)] + 3 But we have now found that g(-5) = -4, we can put that in place of the g(-5)'s and we get f[g(-5)] = f[-4] But then f(-4) means to substitute -4 for x in f(x) = 2x + 3 so f(-4) = 2(-4) + 3 then we simplify f(-4) = -8 + 3 f(-4) = -5 So f[g(-5)] = f(-4) = -5</span>
