An environmental science teacher at a high school with a large population of students wanted to estimate the proportion of stude

nts at the school who regularly recycle plastic bottles. The teacher selected a random sample of students at the school to survey. Each selected student went into the teacher’s office, one at a time, and was asked to respond yes or no to the following question.
Do you regularly recycle plastic bottles?

Based on the responses, a 95 percent confidence interval for the proportion of all students at the school who would respond yes to the question was calculated as (0.584, 0.816)

How many students were in the sample selected by the environmental science teacher?

Answer:

60 students

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval of a proportion is given by:

p\pm z*\sqrt{\frac{p*(1-p)}{n} }

Where 'p' is the proportion of students who responded 'yes', 'z' is the z-score for a 95% confidence interval (which is known to be 1.960), and 'n' is the number of students in the sample.

If the confidence interval is from 0.584 to 0.816, then:

p=\frac{0.584+0.816}{2}=0.7 \\0.816-0.584=2*(1.96*\sqrt{\frac{p*(1-p)}{n}}) \\0.116=1.96*\sqrt{\frac{0.7*(1-0.7)}{n}}\\n=16.8966^2*(0.7*0.3)\\n=60\ students

60 students were in the sample.

The area of a rectangle is given by the expression x2 + 5x + 4. If the length of one side is given by x + 2, what is the length
BabaBlast [244]
Please use " ^ " to denote exponentiation.

Divide <span>x^2 + 5x + 4 by x+2, using synth. div.:
     ______________
-2 /    1       5       4
                  -2      -6
     ------------------------
          1       3       -2

Strange outcome!  But if the area is truly x^2 + 5x + 4 and we divide that by side length x + 2, the quotient (result) is x + 3 with a remainder of -2.  Ensure that you have copied down the original problem correctly.</span>

8+(x divided by 3)=-2
KIM [24]

Answer:

x=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: 8+ (x/3)=-2

Step 1: 8+(x/3 times 3) = -2 times 3 which leads to 8+x=-6

Step 2: 8(-8)+x=-6 which leads to x=-6

Answer: x=-6
