Answer:

The point estimate = 0.507

Margin error of a given confidence interval = 0.032

Step-by-step explanation:

The point estimate is calculated by using the sample statistics of a population.

Thus; point estimate can be expressed with the formula:

$\overline x = \dfrac{\sum \limits ^n _{i=1} \ x _i}{n}$

Given that : 0.475 < p < 0.539

$\overline x = \dfrac{0.475+0.539}{2}$

$\overline x = \dfrac{1.014}{2}$

$\overline x = 0.507$

The point estimate = 0.507

The margin of error which shows the percentage of points that the derived results would differ from that of the given population value can be calculated with the formula:

Margin error of a given confidence interval = $\mathtt{\dfrac{upper \ confidence \ limit - lower \ confidence \ limit }{2}}$

Margin error of a given confidence interval = $\dfrac{0.539-0.475}{2}$

Margin error of a given confidence interval = $\dfrac{0.064}{2}$

Margin error of a given confidence interval = $0.032$

The line passing through (-2,5) and (2,p) has a gradient of -1/2. <br><br> Fnd the value of p

makkiz [27]

Given:

The line passing through (-2,5) and (2,p) has a gradient of $-\dfrac{1}{2}$ .

To find:

The value of p.

Solution:

If a line passes through two points, then the slope of the line is:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

The line passing through (-2,5) and (2,p). So, the slope of the line is:

$m=\dfrac{p-5}{2-(-2)}$

$m=\dfrac{p-5}{2+2}$

$m=\dfrac{p-5}{4}$

It is given that the gradient or slope of the line is $-\dfrac{1}{2}$ .

$\dfrac{p-5}{4}=-\dfrac{1}{2}$

On cross multiplication, we get

$2(p-5)=-4(1)$

$2p-10=-4$

$2p=-4+10$

$2p=6$

Divide both sides by 2.

$p=3$

Therefore, the value of p is 3.

Find the gradient of the function at given point. f(x,y)=ln(x^2+y^2)

N76 [4]

$\nabla f(x,y)=\left\langle\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x},\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}\right\rangle=\left\langle\dfrac{2x}{x^2+y^2},\dfrac{2y}{x^2+y^2}\right\rangle$

You didn't provide the "given point", but I assume you're capable of plugging it in.
