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

Write an exponential function in the form y=ab^x that goes through the point (0,17) and (6,1088)
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

y = 17(2)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

If the graph of y = ab^x goes through (0, 17), then

                        17 = ab*0, or a = 17

Then the function is y = ab^x with a = 17, or

                                  y = 17*b^x and we must find b.

If the graph of y = 17*b^x also goes through (6, 1088), then the following must be true:   1088 = 17*b^6

which reduces to 64 = b^6

Taking the sixth root of both sides, we get 64^(1/6) = b, and so b = 2

Then the desired exponential function is

y = 17(2)^x

-2^2-3(-2)+1 evaluate the polynoimal
Phoenix [80]

We must follow order of operations rules (PEMDAS) here: exponentiation first, followed by multiplication and division, followed by addition and subtraction.

Thus, -2^2-3(-2)+1 becomes:

-[4] + 6 + 1 = 2 + 1 = 3 (answer)

B' (-3,-4) is the image of B after a reflection in the y-axis,What are the coordinates of B?
gladu [14]

Answer:

The coordinates of B will be (3,-4).

Step-by-step explanation:

If a point on the coordinate plane reflects across the y-axis then its y-coordinate will not alter but the x-coordinate will change by its sign only.

Now, if B'(-3,-4) is the image of B after a reflection in the y-axis then we can say B is the image point when the original point is B'(-3,-4) after reflection in the y-axis.

Therefore, the coordinates of B will be (3,-4). (Answer)
