Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$3[-x + (2 x + 1)] = x -1\\\\\mathrm{Expand\:}3\left(-x+\left(2x+1\right)\right):\quad 3x+3\\3x+3=x-1\\$

Collect like terms

$3x -x =-1-3$

Add similar elements

$2x = -4\\\\\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}2\\\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{-4}{2}\\\\Simplify\\\\x = -2$

You damage your car and it will cost $2,700 to repair. You have a $500 deductible. How much will the insurance company pay? A.$5

artcher [175]

Answer:

After finding the money we were short with, we find that Option-b, that is, $2200 is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the cost to repair the damaged car is $2700. We have $500.

Insurance company is a company that gives the payment of someone's valuable items when they are lost or get damaged. For example, home insurance, car insurance, life insurance and much more.

Here we can see that we are short with $2700 - $500 = $2200.

So, to complete the payment, insurance company will pay $2200.

Clearly, the correct option is Option-b.

In a college student poll, it is of interest to estimate the proportion p of students in favor of changing from a quarter-system

Answer:

n=206

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

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

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

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:

$t_{\alpha/2}=-2.58, t_{1-\alpha/2}=2.58$

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 $ME =\pm 0.09$ , we can use as prior estimate of p 0.5, since we don't have any other info provided, and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:
