all right for the wife to refuse to have children?" of 720 respondents, 578 said yes. (a) find a 95% confidence interval for the population proportion who would say yes. round to two decimal places.

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

7. Given f(x) = 6(1 - x) +11, what is the value of f(8) ?
enot [183]

Answer:

f(8)=-31

Step-by-step explanation:

since 8 replaces x in f(x), x should be substituted as 8 in the expression. From there, after you substitute, it becomes 6(1-8)+11. Simplifying that expression is now 6(-7)+11. Multiply 6 and -7, you get -42. -42+11=-31. I hope this helps :)

In 15 words or fewer, describe what happens to the coordinates when
andriy [413]

Answer:  The graph becomes narrower

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The vertex form of a quadratic equation is: y = a(x - h)² + k   where

  • |a| represents the vertical stretch if |a| > 1, vertical shrink if |a| < 1
  • (h. k) represents the vertex

A vertical stretch means the curve gets narrower.

A vertical shrink/compression means the curve gets wider.
