Based on a poll of 100 citizens, a community action group claims that 38% of the population is in favor of the construction of a

senior center using tax dollars. A business group claims that the poll is not valid and that 65% of the citizens favor the construction of the senior center using tax dollars.
To determine whether this sample supports the population proportion of 0.38, a simulation of 100 trials is run, each with a sample size of 200 and a point estimate of 0.65. The minimum sample proportion from the simulation is 0.42, and the maximum sample proportion from the simulation is 0.72.

The margin of error of the population proportion is found using an estimate of the standard deviation.

What is the interval estimate of the true population proportion?

Answer:

(0.55, 0.75)

Step-by-step explanation:

The range can be estimated to be 6 standard deviations wide.  Therefore, the standard deviation is:

σ = (0.72 - 0.42) / 6

σ = 0.05

The margin of error is ±2σ, so:

ME = ±0.10

Therefore, the interval estimate is:

(0.65 - 0.10, 0.65 + 0.10)

(0.55, 0.75)

Which function has x-intercepts of 3 and 8 and contains the point (–1, –2)?
mojhsa [17]
This is how you do it.

y = a(x - 3)(x - 8) 
<span>-2 = a(-1 - 3)(-1 - 8) </span>
<span>-2 = 36a </span>
<span>- 1 / 18 = a </span>
<span>y = ( - 1 / 18)(x^2 - 11x + 24) </span>
<span>y = (- 1 / 18)x^2 + (11 / 18)x - (3 / 2)
</span>

A King in ancient times agreed to reward the inventor of chess with one grain of wheat on the first of the 64 squares of a chess
statuscvo [17]
Let's start by visualising this concept.

Number of grains on square:
1   2   4   8   16 ...

We can see that it starts to form a geometric sequence, with the common ratio being 2.

For the first question, we simply want the fifteenth term, so we just use the nth term geometric form:
T_n = ar^{n - 1}
T_{15} = 2^{14} = 16384

Thus, there are 16, 384 grains on the fifteenth square.

The second question begs the same process, only this time, it's a summation. Using our sum to n terms of geometric sequence, we get:
S_n = \frac{a(r^{n} - 1)}{r - 1}
S_{15} = \frac{2^{15} - 1}{2 - 1}
S_{15} = 2^{15} - 1 = 32767

Thus, there are 32, 767 total grains on the first 15 squares, and you should be able to work the rest from here.
