Answer:

The correct option is (A).

Step-by-step explanation:

The (1 - <em>α</em>)% confidence interval for the population proportion is:

CI=\hat p \pm MOE

The information provided is:

\hat p = 0.24

MOE = 0.089

The 85% confidence interval for the population proportion of adults who dreaded​ Valentine's Day is:

CI=\hat p \pm MOE

     =0.24\pm 0.089\\=(0.151, 0.329)

So, the 85% confidence interval for the population proportion of adults who dreaded​ Valentine's Day is (0.151, 0.329).

The (1 - <em>α</em>)% confidence interval for population parameter implies that there is a (1 - <em>α</em>) probability that the true value of the parameter is included in the interval.

Or, the (1 - <em>α</em>)% confidence interval for the parameter implies that there is (1 - <em>α</em>)% confidence or certainty that the true parameter value is contained in the interval.

So, the 85%  confidence interval for the population proportion, (0.151, 0.329), implies that there is 85% confidence that the proportion of the adult citizens of the nation that dreaded​ Valentine's Day is between 0.151 and 0.329.

Or there is 0.85 probability that the true proportion of the adult citizens of the nation that dreaded​ Valentine's Day is between 0.151 and 0.329.

Thus, the correct option is (A).

Start with the point-slope form: y-y_1 = m(x-x_1).

Then you substitue in the slope and coordinates from the point:

    y-5 = 2(x-(-7))

You don't do a lot of clean up to the form, with the exception of turning "minus negative 7" into "plus 7".

    y-5 = 2(x+7)

Thar be yer answer!

Two common names for streets are FirstFirst Street and MainMain ​Street, with 14 comma 86614,866 streets bearing one of these
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:  There are 7,677 streets named as " First Street" and 7, 189 streets named as  "Main Street" .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of streets named as First Street .

y be the number of streets named as Main Street.

AS per the given information, we have the following system of equations :

x+y=14866-------------(1)\\\\x=488+y-------------(2)

Substitute the value of x from (2) in (1) , we get

488+y+y=14866\\\\ 2y =14866- 488\\\\ 2y=14378\\\\ y=7189

Put value of y in (2), we get

x=488+7189=7677

Hence , there are 7,677 streets named as " First Street" and 7, 189 streets named as  "Main Street" .

Question 22 Petrolyn motor oil is a combination of natural oil and synthetic oil. It contains 8 liters of natural oil for every
Setler [38]

Answer:

897 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

The motor oil is composed of 8 liters of natural oil and 5 liters of synthetic oil. This means there is a ratio of 8/5. We have 552 liters of natural oil to y liters of synthetic. This is the ratio 552/y. Create a proportion that compares the two ratios.

\frac{8}{5}=\frac{552}{y}

Solve by cross multiplying.

8y = 5(552)

8y = 2,760

y= 345

345 liters of synthetic oil.

Together 552+345= 897 liters of motor oil.

Shele bought a box of eggs. She wrote this equation to show the number of eggs in one box. e = 6 If Shele bought 4 boxes of eggs
dangina [55]
The equation e = 6 tells you for each box, e, there are 6 eggs. If she bought 4 boxes, you would be multiplying the number of boxes, 4, by e. That means:
4 x e 

Now you need to set 4 x e equal to the total number of eggs she has now. Since you know e = 6 eggs, plug in 6 into 4 x e!
4 x e = ?
4 x 6 = 24

That means you complete equation is:
4 x e = 24

-----

Answer: <span>A) 4 × e = 24</span>
