A tree diagram allows you to show how each possible outcome of one event affects the probabilities of the other events.

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

405

Step-by-step explanation:

To find sample size, use the following equation, where n = sample size, za/2 = the critical value, p = probability of success, q = probability of failure, and E = margin of error.

$n=\frac{(z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} })^{2} *p*q }{E^2}$

The values that are given are p = 0.84 and E = 0.03.

You can solve for the critical value which is equal to the z-score of (1 - confidence level)/2. Use the calculator function of invNorm to find the z-score. The value will given with a negative sign, but you can ignore that.

(1 - 0.9) = 0.1/2 = 0.05

invNorm(0.05, 0, 1) = 1.645

You can also solve for q which is 1 - p. For this problem q = 1 - 0.84 = 0.16

Plug the values into the equation and solve for n.

$n =\frac{(1.645)^2*0.84*0.16}{(0.03)^2}\\n= 404.0997333$

Round up to the next number, giving you 405.

1. Given points A(3, -5) and B(19, -1), find the coordinates of point C that sit 3/8 of the way along line AB, closer to A than

zaharov [31]

1. C(x, y) = (7.3, –3.9)

2. C(x, y) = (17, –1.5)

Solution:

Question 1:

Let the points are A(3, –5) and B(19, –1).

C is the point that on the segment AB in the fraction $\frac{3}{8}$ .

Point divides segment in the ratio formula:

$$C(x, y)=\left(\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n} , \frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}\right)$

Here, $x_1=3, y_1=-5, x_2=19, y_2=-1$ and m = 3, n = 8

$$C(x, y)=\left(\frac{3\times19+8\times3}{3+8} , \frac{3\times(-1)+8\times(-5)}{3+8}\right)$

$$=\left(\frac{57+24}{11} , \frac{-3-40}{11}\right)$

$$=\left(\frac{81}{11} , \frac{-43}{11}\right)$

C(x, y) = (7.3, –3.9)

Question 2:

Let the points are A(3, –5) and B(19, –1).

C is the point that on the segment AB in the fraction $\frac{3}{8}$ .

Point divides segment in the ratio formula:

$$C(x, y)=\left(\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n} , \frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}\right)$

Here, $x_1=3, y_1=-5, x_2=19, y_2=-1$ and m = 7, n = 1

$$C(x, y)=\left(\frac{7\times19+1\times3}{7+1} , \frac{7\times(-1)+1\times(-5)}{7+1}\right)$

$$=\left(\frac{133+3}{8} , \frac{-7-5}{8}\right)$

$$=\left(\frac{136}{8} , \frac{-12}{8}\right)$

C(x, y) = (17, –1.5)

Can you please help me

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

7. 7.1+5.4+2.9=15.7

10.3+5.4=15.7

8. 373.4 - 152.9 = 220.5

373.4 - 153 = 220.4

220.4 - 0.1 = 220.5

9. 18.25 + 7.99 + 4.75 = 30.99

10. 1.05 + 3 + 4.28 + .95 = 9.28

What is the distance between -7.5 and -15.3 on a number line

timama [110]

Okay. To find the distance apart from each other, subtract 15.3 and 7.5. When you do that, you should get 7.8. -7.5 and -15.3 are 7.8 units away on a number line.
