How do I solve this problem?

A recent survey of 128 high school students indicated the following information about release times from school.

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

A) Interval estimate for those that want to get out earlier = (35%) ± (4%) = (31%, 39%)

Interval estimate for those that want to get out later = (39%) ± (4%) = (35%, 43%)

B) The group that wants to get out of school earlier can win after all the votes are counted if their true population proportion takes on a value that is higher than the closest true population proportion (for the group that wants to get out of school later)

That is, in the (31%, 39%) and (35%, 43%) obtained in (a), a range of (35.1%, 39%) and (35%, 38.9%) show how possible that the group that wants to get out of school earlier can win after all the votes are counted.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Interval estimate for the proportion is basically an interval of range of values where the true population proportion can be found with a certain level of confidence.

Mathematically,

Interval estimate = (Sample proportion) ± (Margin of error)

Margin of Error is the width of the confidence interval about the proportion.

a) Find the interval estimates

i) for those that want to get out earlier and

ii) those that want to get out later.

i) Sample proportion of those that want to get out earlier = 35%

Margin of Error = 4%

Interval estimate for those that want to get out earlier = (35%) ± (4%) = (31%, 39%)

ii) Sample proportion of those that want to get out later = 39%

Margin of Error = 4%

Interval estimate for those that want to get out later = (39%) ± (4%) = (35%, 43%)

b) Explain how it would be possible for the group that wants to get out of school earlier to win after all the votes are counted.

Since the interval estimates represent the range of values that the true population proportion can take on for each group that prefer a particular option, the group that wants to get out of school earlier van have their proportion take on values between 31% and 39%. If their true population takes on a value that is highest (which is very possible from the interval estimate), and the group with the highest proportion in the sample, (the group that wants to get out of school later, whose true population proportion can take between 35% and 43%) has a true population proportion that is less than that of the group that wants to get out of school earlier, then, the group that wants to get out of school earlier can win after all the votes are counted.

Hope this Helps!!!

Naomi has 45 minutes to get ready for school she spends x minutes getting dressed write an expression that respetents the number

andriy [413]

ANSWER

$(45 - x) \: minutes$

EXPLANATION

Total minutes Naomi has at her disposal is 45 minutes.

The number of minutes she spends getting dressed is

$x$

To find the number of minutes she still has to get ready, we subtract the minutes spent from the total minutes.

The number of minutes she still have to get ready is

$(45 - x) \: minutes$

The equation of a quadratic is =2^2+3−2and after you factorizing 2^2+3−2=0you got x = -2 and x = 1/2 and the curve crosses the y

Lelechka [254]

Given the next quadratic function:

$y=2x^2+3x-2$

to sketch its graph, first, we need to find its vertex. The x-coordinate of the vertex is found as follows:

$x_V=\frac{-b}{2a}$

where <em>a</em> and <em>b</em> are the first two coefficients of the quadratic function. Substituting with a = 2 and b = 3, we get:

$\begin{gathered} x_V=\frac{-3}{2\cdot2} \\ x_V=-\frac{3}{4}=-0.75 \end{gathered}$

The y-coordinate of the vertex is found by substituting the x-coordinate in the quadratic function, as follows:

$\begin{gathered} y_V=2x^2_V+3x_V-2 \\ y_V=2\cdot(-\frac{3}{4})^2+3\cdot(-\frac{3}{4})-2 \\ y_V=2\cdot\frac{9}{16}+3\cdot(-\frac{3}{4})-2 \\ y_V=\frac{9}{8}-\frac{9}{4}-2 \\ y_V=-\frac{25}{8}=-3.125 \end{gathered}$

The factorization indicates that the curve crosses the x-axis at the points (-2, 0) and (1/2, 0). We also know that the curve crosses the y-axis at (0,-2). Connecting these points and the vertex (-0.75, -3.125) with a U-shaped curve, we get:

Helppppppp pleaseeee find the value of x. Step by step please

Artist 52 [7]

Wouldn’t you add both of the equations together and set them equal to 180 and whatever you get for x just plug back in to find the values of the angles??
