Which is the absolute value function corresponding to the graph with these characteristics?

The parent function for an absolute value function is:

$y=a|x-h|+k$

If a is positive, the graph will open upward, and if a is negative, it will open downward. Given that the graph opens downward, we know a must be negative.

Next, h represents the horizontal shift of the graph. Given that the vertex is at (-2,k), we know that h = 2.

The k value does not matter because in the given characteristics we are given a general k value that will work with any graph.

Finally, we need to find which graph passes through (-3, -1). To meet the requirements discussed above, we can narrow the answer to C or D. Now just plug in -3 for x in both functions, and whichever one equals -1 at x=-3 is our answer:

C) -4|-3 + 2| + 3 = -4(1) + 3 = -1

D) -4|-3 + 2| - 3 = -4(1) - 3 = -7

The answer is C.

When one quarter of a number is subtracted from one third of the number, the result is 7

Rzqust [24]

The number ... n
one quarter of the number ... 1/4 of n = 1/4 * n
one third of the number ... 1/3 of n = 1/3 * n
one quarter of the number is subtracted from one third of the number ... 1/3 * n - 1/4 * n
the result is 7 ... = 7

We can put it together:
1/3 * n - 1/4 * n = 7
4/12 * n - 3/12 * n = 7
1/12 * n = 7 /*12
n = 7 * 12
n = 84

The number you are looking for is 84.

Solve each equation. check you solution.<br> (7t - 2) - (-3t + 1) = -3(1 - 3t)

Lynna [10]

(7t-2) - (-3t+1) = -3*(1-3t)
First distribute:
7t-2+3t-1 = -3+9t
Now get all the terms with 't' on the same side by subtracting/adding:
7t+3t-9t = -3+2+1
Combine the terms:
1t=0
t=0

Check:
Plug in 0 for t and see if both sides of the equation come out the same:
Does (7(0)-2) - (-3(0)+1) = -3(1-3(0)) ?
(-2) - (1) = -3(1) ?
-3 = -3 ?
Yes! It works, so t=0!

In a survey of 2065 adults in a certain country conducted during a period of economic uncertainty, 63 % thought that wages paid

LenKa [72]

Answer:

a) D.The interpretation is flawed. No interval has been provided about the population proportion.

b) D.The interpretation is flawed. The interpretation indicates that the level of confidence is varying.

c) A.The interpretation is reasonable.

d) C.The interpretation is flawed. The interpretation suggests that this interval sets the standard for all the other intervals, which is not true.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) We are 95 % confident 63 % of adults in the country during the period of economic uncertainty felt wages paid to workers in industry were too low. Is the interpretation reasonable?

D.The interpretation is flawed. No interval has been provided about the population proportion.

The sample proportion alone will not give us any confidence in estimating the true proportion of adults in the country during the period of economic uncertainty felt wages paid to workers in industry were too low.

We need a 95% confidence interval to claim that the true proportion is within this interval. In this case, as the margin of error is 4%, the 95% CI is 59% and 67%.

(b) We are 91 % to 99 % confident 63 % of adults in the country during the period of economic uncertainty felt wages paid to workers in industry were too low. Is the interpretation reasonable?

D.The interpretation is flawed. The interpretation indicates that the level of confidence is varying.

The confidence is set at a fixed value and from that value the confidence interval is estimated. It still uses the sample proportion instead of the confidence interval to estimate the true proportion.

(c) We are 95 % confident the proportion of adults in the country during the period of economic uncertainty who believed wages paid to workers in industry were too low was between 0.59 and 0.67. Is the interpretation reasonable?

A.The interpretation is reasonable.

It uses the right sample data and interpret correctly the meaning of the confidence interval.

(d) In 95 % of samples of adults in the country during the period of economic uncertainty, the proportion who believed wages paid to workers in industry were too low is between 0.59 and 0.67. Is the interpretation reasonable?

C.The interpretation is flawed. The interpretation suggests that this interval sets the standard for all the other intervals, which is not true.

This confidence interval is an estimation about the parameter of the population. It doesn't give information to estimate the sampling distribution, as it only has information of one specific sample.
