Complete Question

The  complete question is shown on the first uploaded image  

Answer:

The  95% confidence interval is  -0.00870

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The first sample  size  is  n_1  =  1068000

     The first proportion  \r p_1 = 0.084

     The second  sample size is  n_2  =  1476000

     The  second  proportion is  \r p_2 =  0.092

Given that the confidence level is  95%  then the level of significance is mathematically represented as

      \alpha =  (100 - 95)\%

     \alpha =  0.05

From the normal distribution table  we obtain the critical value of  \frac{ \alpha }{2}  the value is  

      Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =z_c=  1.96

Now using the formula from the question to construct the 95% confidence interval we have  

  (\r p_1 - \r p_2  )- z_c \sqrt{ \frac{\r p_1 \r q_1 }{n_1} + \frac{\r p_2 \r q_2 }{n_2} }

Here \r q_1 =  1 - \r p_1

  =>   \r q_1 =  1 - 0.084

 =>    \r q =  0.916

and  

   \r q_2 =  1 - \r p_2

 =>   \r q_2 =  1 - 0.092

=>   \r q_2 = 0.908

So  

 (0.084 - 0.092 )- (1.96)*  \sqrt{ \frac{0.092* 0.916 }{1068000} + \frac{0.084* 0.908 }{1476000} }

  -0.00870

Well the ratio would be 8:24, or in reduced form, 1:3. you would solve it by taking sale of strawberry yogurt for the first half of the ratio, and then adding up all of the values to get the total.

Use this graph of velocity vs. time for two objects to answer the question.
Lynna [10]

Using derivatives, it is found that the correct option is:

A. Object C has an acceleration that is greater than the acceleration for D.

The acceleration is the <u>derivative of the velocity</u>, given by change in velocity divided by change in time, that is:

a = \frac{\Delta_v}{\Delta_t}

In this problem:

  • The change in time for objects C and T is the same.
  • The <u>change in velocity for object C is greater</u>, thus, it has a greater acceleration, and the correct option is:

A. Object C has an acceleration that is greater than the acceleration for D.

A rectangle has a perimeter of 16p centimeters. It has a width of 2p centimeters. Find the length of the rectangle in terms of p
DIA [1.3K]
If the width is 2p then the width of both sides is 4p. Subtract that from the total perimeter and you get 16p-4p= 12p. Divide that by two because there are 2 side lengths. So, one side length is 6p.

to start to solve the system of equations below, which number would you multiply in the equation -2x-5y=-1? The two equations ar
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

  The first equation can be multiplied by 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-coefficients are -2 and 4. If the first one of these is multiplied by 2, it will be the opposite of the second of these. That is 2·(-2) = -4. When -4 and 4 are added, the result is 0, so the x-variable will be eliminated.

To solve these equations by "elimination", you look for simple relationships between the coefficients that will let you combine them to get zero.

_____

Here's the rest of the solution.

  2(-2x-5y) +(4x+2y) = 2(-1) +(8) . . . . after multiplying the first equation by 2 and adding the second equation

  -4x -10y +4x +2y = -2 +8 . . . . . the result of eliminating parentheses

  -8y = 6 . . . . . the result of collecting terms

  y = -6/8 = -3/4 . . . . divide by the y-coefficient

Since all of the coefficients in the second equation are even, a factor of 2 can be removed, and the equation written as ...

   2x +y = 4

This can be solved for x, so you have ...

  x = (4 -y)/2 = 2 -(y/2)

Filling in the above value of y, we find x to be ...

  x = 2 -(-3/4)/2

  x = 2 3/8

_____

<em>Comment on eliminating y instead of x</em>

If you divide the second equation by 2 so that y has a coefficient of 1, then you can multiply this equation by 5 to give y a coefficient that is the opposite of the coefficient -5 in the first equation. Then the elimination looks like

  (-2x -5y) +5(2x +y) = (-1) +5(4)

  -2x -5y +10x +5y = -1 +20 . . . . eliminate parentheses

  8x = 19 . . . . simplify

  x = 19/8 = 2 3/8 . . . . divide by the coefficient of x
