The confidence interval would be
0.80\pm0.03.

We use the formula
p\pm z*\sigma_p, where

\sigma_p=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{N}}, with p being the sample proportion and N being the sample size.

First we find the z-score associated with this level of confidence:
Convert 95% to a decimal:  95/100 = 0.95
Subtract from 1:  1-0.95 = 0.05
Divide by 2:  0.05/2 = 0.025
Subtract from 1:  1-0.025 = 0.975

Using a z-table (http://www.z-table.com) we see that this value is associated with a z-score of 1.96.

Since 578/720 said yes, this gives us p=0.80:
\sigma_p=\sqrt{\frac{0.80(1-0.80)}{720}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.8(0.2)}{720}=0.015

This gives us
0.80\pm1.96(0.015)=0.80\pm 0.03

Y-1=0 is what form:<br> Standard<br> Point-Slope Form<br> Brainliest for first Answer
hammer [34]

This would be point-slope form.

Slope-intercept form is in the form: y = mx + b

Standard is in the form ax + by = c

Point-slope form is in the form y - y.1 =m(x - x.1)

The form this most closely resembles is point-slope.

The cup was filled at a constant rate. It started empty. After 2 seconds, it held 70 cm cubed of water.Find the percent of the c
Helen [10]

Answer:

In 3 seconds the cup is filled with 105\ cm^3<u>.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

2 seconds = 70\ cm^3 water

We need to find the percent of the cup that is filled with water after 3 seconds.

Solution:

Now Given:

The cup was filled at a constant rate.

First we will find the volume of water filled in the cup after 1 seconds.

2 seconds = 70\ cm^3 water

1 seconds = Volume of water filled in 1 second.

By Using Unitary method we get;

Volume of water filled in 1 second = \frac{70}{2}= 35\ cm^3

Now we will find the volume of water filled in the cup after 3 seconds.

1 second = 35\ cm^3 of water is filled

3 seconds = volume of water filled in the cup after 3 seconds

Again by using Unitary method we get;

volume of water filled in the cup after 3 seconds = 35 \times 3 = 105\ cm^3

Hence In 3 seconds the cup is filled with 105\ cm^3.

To find the percent of the cup filled with water after 3 seconds we would required the dimensions of the cup which is not available in the question.

A Crane Lifts a load of 4000N to a height of 20m in 5 seconds. Calculate the power of the Crane in horse power​
Digiron [165]

Answer:

2.54379284 hp.

Step-by-step explanation: Torque is defined as the engines rotational force.  First we find the distance =  m in equation- then we use the formula Power = work/time = 16.7/ 5 = 3.34 and Horsepower formula is given by. Horsepower = (Torque × Speed) / 5252. HP = (3.34 × 4000) / 5252. HP = 13360/5252. HP = 2.54379284 hp.  

Given :    W=4000    m=?        h=20 m                      

Time of operation         t =5 s

Work done in lifting a box            W=mgh= ? ×12×20=4000 = m = 4000/240=16.6666667 = 16.7KG

Power required         P=  W/t   =  w/p = 120000/120 =1000 watts    We divide 60/5 = 120 then divide by 10 = 12 (being g)
