Solve the following inequality: –1 6(–1 – 3x) > –39 – 2x

1 answer:

5 0

If you would like to solve the inequality –1 + 6 * (–1 – 3x) > –39 – 2x, you can do this using the following steps:

–1 + 6 * (–1 – 3x) > –39 – 2x
-1 - 6 - 18x > -39 - 2x
-7 + 39 > -2x + 18x
32 > 16x
32/16 > x
x < 2

The correct result would be x < 2.

Answer: (0.076, 0.140)

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval for population proportion (p) is given by :-

$\hat{p}\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}$

, where $\hat{p}$ = sample proportion.

n= sample size.

$\alpha$ = significance level .

$z_{\alpha/2}$ = critical z-value (Two tailed)

As per given , we have

sample size : n= 500

The number of Independents.: x= 54

Sample proportion of Independents $\hat{p}=\dfrac{x}{n}=\dfrac{54}{500}=0.108$

Significance level 98% confidence level : $\alpha=1-0.98=0.02$

By using z-table , Critical value : $z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.01}=2.33$

The 98% confidence interval for the true percentage of Independents among Haywards 50,000 registered voters will be :-

$0.108\pm (2.33)\sqrt{\dfrac{0.108(1-0.108)}{500}}\\\\=0.108\pm2.33\times0.013880634\\\\=0.108\pm0.03234187722\\\\\approx0.108\pm0.032=(0.108-0.032,\ 0.108+0.032)=(0.076,\ 0.140)$
