It was reported that in a survey of 4764 American youngsters aged 6 to 19, 12% were seriously overweight (a body mass index of a

t least 30; this index is a measure of weight relative to height). Calculate a confidence interval using a 99% confidence level for the proportion of all American youngsters who are seriously overweight. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

confidence level for the proportion of all American youngsters who are seriously overweight is (0.137, 0.163)

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of , and a confidence level of , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue

1.) Determine the type of solutions for the function (Picture 1)
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

1) 2 nonreal complex roots

2) 1 Real Solution

3) 16

4) Reflected, narrower by a factor of 2/5, slides right 4 units and slides up 6 (units)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The graph does not intercept the x-axis, therefore, there are no real solutions at the point y = 0

We get;

y = a·x² + b·x + c

At y = 6, x = -2

Therefore;

6 = a·(-2)² - 2·b + c = 4·a - 2·b + c

6 = 4·a - 2·b + c...(1)

At y = 8, x = 0

8 = a·(0)² + b·0 + c

∴ c = 8...(2)

Similarly, we have;

At y = 8, x = -4

8 = a·(-4)² - 4·b + c = 16·a - 4·b + 8

16·a - 4·b = 0

∴ b = 16·a/4 = 4·a

b = 4·a...(3)

From equation (1), (2) and (3), we have;

6 = 4·a - 2·b + c

∴ 6 = b - 2·b + 8 = -b + 8

6 - 8 = -b

∴ -b = -2

b = 2

b = 4·a

∴ a = b/4 = 2/4 = 1/2

The equation is therefor;

y = (1/2)·x² + 2·x + 8

Solving we get;

x = (-2 ± √(2² - 4 × (1/2) × 8))/(2 × (1/2))

x =( -2 ± √(-12))/1 = -2 ± √(-12)

Therefore, we have;

2 nonreal complex roots

2) Give that the graph of the function touches the x-axis once, we have;

1 Real Solution

3) The given function is f(x) = 2·x² + 8·x + 6

The general form of the quadratic function is f(x) = a·x² + b·x + c

Comparing, we have;

a = 2, b = 8, c = 6

The discriminant of the function, D = b² - 4·a·c, therefore, for the function, we have;

D = 8² - 4 × 2 × 6 = 16

The discriminant of the function, D = 16

4.) The given function is g(x) = (-2/5)·(x - 4)² + 6

The parent function of a quadratic equation is y = x²

A vertical translation is given by the following equation;

y = f(x) + b

A horizontal to the right by 'a' translation is given by an equation of the form; y = f(x - a)

A vertical reflection is given by an equation of the form; y = -f(x) = -x²

A narrowing is given by an equation of the form; y = b·f(x), where b < 1

Therefore, the transformations of g(x) from the parent function are;

g(x) is a reflection of the parent function, with the graph of g(x) being narrower by 2/5 than the graph of the parent function. The graph of g(x) is shifted right by 4 units and is then slides up by 6 units.

Solve for t if p≠q<br> (t+p)/q - q/p = (t-q)/p + p/q
german

Answer:

.. q T 0 = (q/p)a (q/p)a − (q/p)T−10 if p ≠ q and qT0 = 1 − T0/a if p = q = 1/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that there are two different solutions, p and q, in [a, b]. Thus p =g(p) q =g(q) p ≠ q The function g(x) satisfies the hypotheses of the mean-value ... that g(p) –g(q) = (p – q) g׳(t) Because g(p) =p and g(q) = q, the left side of Eq. (1-3) may...

3. Given the image below, find the measure of ZYVZ, in degrees.<br> (3x + 5)º<br> N
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

∠ YVZ = 56°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠ WVZ = 90° ( given ), thus

∠ WVY + ∠ YVZ = 90, substitute values

2x + 3x + 5 = 90

5x + 5 = 90 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

5x = 85 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 17

Thus

∠ YVZ = 3x + 5 = 3(17) + 5 = 51 + 5 = 56°

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

To obtain this form use the method of completing the square.

Given

f(x) = - 0.6x² + 4.2x + 240 ← factor out - 0.6 from the first 2 terms

     = - 0.6(x² - 7x) + 240

To complete the square

add/ subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to x² - 7x

f(x) = - 0.6(x² + 2(- 3.5)x + 12.25 - 12.25 ) + 240

      = - 0.6 (x - 3.5)² + 7.35 + 240

     = - 0.6(x - 3.5)² + 247.35

with vertex = (3.5, 247.35 )

The maximum value is the y- coordinate of the vertex

Then

f(x) = - 0.6(x - 3.5)² + 247.35 has a maximum value of 247.35
