If f(x)=1/2x+2, find f^-1(20)

The amount of money spent on textbooks per year for students is approximately normal.

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:a

a

$336.04 < \mu < 443.96$

b

The margin of error will increase

c

The margin of error will decreases

d

The 99% confidence interval is $0.4107 < p < 0.4293$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The sample size $n = 19$

The sample mean is $\= x = \$\ 390$

The standard deviation is $\sigma = \$ \ 120$

Given that the confidence level is 95% then the level of significance is mathematically represented as

$\alpha = 100 - 95$

$\alpha = 5 \%$

$\alpha = 0.05$

Next we obtain the critical value of $\frac{\alpha }{2}$ from the normal distribution table

So

$Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.96$

The margin of error is mathematically represented as

$E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }$

=> $E = 1.96 * \frac{120}{\sqrt{19} }$

=> $E = 53.96$

The 95% confidence interval is

$\= x - E < \mu < \= x + E$

=> $390 - 53.96 < \mu < 390 - 53.96$

=> $336.04 < \mu < 443.96$

When the confidence level increases the $Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }$ also increases which increases the margin of error hence the confidence level becomes wider

Generally the sample size mathematically varies with margin of error as follows

$n \ \ \alpha \ \ \frac{1}{E^2 }$

So if the sample size increases the margin of error decrease

The sample proportion is mathematically represented as

$\r p = \frac{210}{500}$

$\r p = 0.42$

Given that the confidence level is 0.99 the level of significance is $\alpha = 0.01$

The critical value of $\frac{\alpha }{2}$ from the normal distribution table is

$Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 2.58$

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

$E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }* \sqrt{ \frac{\r p (1- \r p )}{n} }$

=> $E = 0.42 * \sqrt{ \frac{0.42 (1- 0.42 )}{ 500} }$

=> $E = 0.0093$

The 99% confidence interval is

$\r p - E < p < \r p + E$

$0.42 - 0.0093 < p < 0.42 + 0.0093$

$0.4107 < p < 0.4293$

Find the distance between the two points. Round your solution to 2 decimal points.

VashaNatasha [74]

Notice the grid, the points are (-5, -2) and (4, -1), thus

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}\\ \quad \\
\begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\
% (a,b)
&&(~{{ 4}} &,&{{ -1}}~) 
% (c,d)
&&(~{{ -5}} &,&{{ -2}}~)
\end{array}~~
% distance value
d = \sqrt{({{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}})^2 + ({{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}})^2}
\\\\\\
d=\sqrt{[-5-4]^2+[-2-(-1)]^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(-5-4)^2+(-2+1)^2}
\\\\\\
d=\sqrt{(-9)^2+(-1)^2}\implies d=\sqrt{81+1}\implies d=\sqrt{82}$

What is the measure of Zx?

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

x = 145

Step-by-step explanation:

x and 35 are adjacent angles and are supplementary, sum to 180° , then

x + 35 = 180 ( subtract 35 from both sides )

x = 145
