Answer:

She will need 13.2 gallons to drive 286 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Consider the expression below;

T=G×N

where;

T-total miles traveled

G-number of miles per gallon

N=quantity of gas consumed

This can also be expressed as;

Total miles=number of miles per gallon×number of gallons

In our case;

T=260 miles

G=unknown

N=12 gallons

replacing;

260=G×12

12 G=260

G=260/12

G=21.67 miles per gallon

Step 2

Using the same expression;

T=G×N

where;

T=286 miles

G=21.67 miles per gallon

N=unknown

replacing;

286=21.67×N

21.67 N=286

N=286/21.67

N=13.2 gallons

She will need 13.2 gallons to drive 286 miles

Which graph represents the function over the interval [−3,3] ?<br><br> f(x)=⌈x+1⌉

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer: The correct graph is the bottom left graph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function is f(x)=ceil(x+1)

To plot graph of f(x) in interval of(-3,3) :

ceil(x+1) is ceiling function

The output of ceil(x) is least integer greater than x

for example ceil(5.5)=6

For an interval of (-3,-2):

Take x=(-2.4)

x+1=(-1.4)

y=f(x)=ceil(x+1)=(-1)

Similarly,

For an interval of (-2,-1):

Take x=(-1.4)

x+1=(-0.4)

y=f(x)=ceil(x+1)=(0)

For an interval of (-1,0)

y=f(x)=1

For an interval of (0,1)

y=f(x)=2

For an interval of (1,2)

y=f(x)=3

For an interval of (2,3)

y=f(x)=4

Thus, The correct graph is the bottom left graph.

A newsgroup is interested in constructing a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of all Americans who are in favor of a ne

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

a. With 90% confidence the proportion of all Americans who favor the new Green initiative is between 0.6290 and 0.6948.

b. If the sample size is changed, the confidence interval changes as the standard error depends on sample size.

About 90% percent of these confidence intervals will contain the true population proportion of Americans who favor the Green initiative and about 10% percent will not contain the true population proportion.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate a 90% confidence interval for the proportion.

The sample proportion is p=0.6619.

$p=X/n=370/559=0.6619$

The standard error of the proportion is:

$\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.6619*0.3381}{559}}\\\\\\ \sigma_p=\sqrt{0.0004}=0.02$

The critical z-value for a 90% confidence interval is z=1.6449.

The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:

$MOE=z\cdot \sigma_p=1.6449 \cdot 0.02=0.0329$

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

$LL=p-z \cdot \sigma_p = 0.6619-0.0329=0.6290\\\\UL=p+z \cdot \sigma_p = 0.6619+0.0329=0.6948$

The 90% confidence interval for the population proportion is (0.6290, 0.6948).
