Answer:

The graph is uploaded in the attachment.

The value of x is 2.625.

Step-by-step explanation:

let us plot f(x), g(x) on y-axis

so, f(x)=y and g(x)=y.

the first equation can be written as y=5-2x

the general equation of a straight is y=mx+c

( where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept )

now comparing given equation with the general equation mentioned above, the slope of first line is -2 and its y-intercept is 5

the slope of second equation i.e, y=(2/3)x-2 is 2/3 and its y-intercept is -2.

now plot the graph using above information.

(y-intercept is the the coordinate of a point where the line intersects y-axis)

(slope is the angle made by the line with the x-axis)

by seeing the graph, the value of x is 2.625.

WARRIOR [948]

3x + 1 < 7...subtract 1 from both sides
3x < 7 - 1
3x < 6 ...divide both sides by 3
x < 6/3
x < 2

there will be an open circle on 2....because the problem has no equal sign...the line will be shaded to the left...because it is less then.

Answer:

n=601

Step-by-step explanation:

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

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

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 95% of confidence, our significance level would be given by $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ . And the critical value would be given by:

$z_{\alpha/2}=-1.96, z_{1-\alpha/2}=1.96$

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

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

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}$ (a)

And on this case we have that $ME =\pm 0.04$ and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

$n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}$ (b)

Since we don't have a prior estimation for the proportion we can use 0.5 as estimation. And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:

$n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.04}{1.96})^2}=600.25$
