Answer:

(a)0.3303

(b)0.6697

Step-by-step explanation:

Point estimation is the use of sample data to calculate a single value which serves as a best estimate of a given unknown population parameter.

Total Sample=1226

Number who said that they were not confident that the food they eat in country A is safe=405.

The point estimate of those who said that they were not confident that the food they eat in country A is safe is given as \^{p}

(a)Point Estimate for p,

\^{p}=\frac{405}{1226} =0.3303

(b)Point estimate for q, \^{q}=1- (point estimate for p)

=1-0.3303

=0.6697

What is the rate of change for a linear function that passes through the points (8, -10) and (-6, 14)
Anna71 [15]

Answer: m=-1.714

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, the slope of the line is described as "Rate of change".

You need to use the following formula to calcualte the slope of the line;

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

In this case you know that the line passes through these two points: (8, -10) and (-6, 14).

Then, you can say that:

y_2=-10\\y_1=14\\\\x_2=8\\x_1=-6

Knowing these values, you can substitute them into the formula for calculate the slope of a line:

 m=\frac{-10-14}{8-(-6)}

Finally, you must evaluate in order to find the slope of this line. You get that this is:

m=\frac{-24}{8+6}\\\\m=\frac{-24}{14}\\\\m=-\frac{12}{7}\\\\m=-1.714

Scores on a college entrance examination are normally distributed with a mean of 500 and a standard deviation of 100. What perce
Alla [95]

Answer:

The percentage is P(350 <  X  650 ) = 86.6\%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The population mean is  \mu  =  500

     The standard deviation is  \sigma  =  100

The  percent of people who write this exam obtain scores between 350 and 650    

    P(350 <  X  650 ) =  P(\frac{ 350 -  500}{ 100}

Generally  

               \frac{X -  \mu }{\sigma }  =  Z (The \  standardized \  value \ of  \  X )

   P(350 <  X  650 ) =  P(\frac{ 350 -  500}{ 100}

   P(350 <  X  650 ) =  P(-1.5

   P(350 <  X  650 ) =  P(Z < 1.5) -  P(Z <  -1.5)

From the z-table  P(Z <  -1.5 )  =  0.066807

   and P(Z < 1.5  ) =  0.93319

=>    P(350 <  X  650 ) =  0.93319 -  0.066807

=>  P(350 <  X  650 ) = 0.866

Therefore the percentage is  P(350 <  X  650 ) = 86.6\%

Consider this right triangle.<br> 21<br> 29<br> 20<br> Enter the ratio equivalent to s
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Part 1) sin(B)=\frac{21}{29}

Part 2) csc(A)=\frac{29}{20}

Part 3) cot(A)=\frac{21}{20}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The complete question is</em></u>

Consider this right triangle. 21 29 20 Write the ratio equivalent to: Sin B - CscA- Cot B

The picture of the question in the attached figure

Part 1) Write the ratio equivalent to: Sin B

we know that

In the right triangle ABC

sin(B)=\frac{AC}{AB} ----> by SOH (opposite side divided by the hypotenuse)

substitute the values

sin(B)=\frac{21}{29}

Part 2) Write the ratio equivalent to: Csc A

we know that

In the right triangle ABC

csc(A)=\frac{1}{sin(A)}

sin(A)=\frac{BC}{AB} -----> by SOH (opposite side divided by the hypotenuse)

substitute the values

sin(A)=\frac{20}{29}

therefore

csc(A)=\frac{29}{20}

Part 3) Write the ratio equivalent to: Cot A

we know that

In the right triangle ABC

cot(A)=\frac{1}{tan(A)}

tan(A)=\frac{BC}{AC} -----> by TOA (opposite side divided by the adjacent side)

substitute the values

tan(A)=\frac{20}{21}

therefore

cot(A)=\frac{21}{20}
