Let "x" be the positive integer 
Twenty times a square of a positive integer plus 50:
20x² + 50
Negative 40 times the square of the positive integer plus one-hundred and ten times the positive integer:
-40x² + 100x

The equation could be used is shown below:
20x² + 50 = -40x² +100x
20x² + 40x² -100x + 50 = 0
60x² - 100x +50 =0

o-na [289]

Answer:

a) n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.02}{1.96})^2}=2401  

And rounded up we have that n=2401

b) n=\frac{0.07(1-0.07)}{(\frac{0.02}{1.96})^2}=625.22  

And rounded up we have that n=626

And we see that if we have previous info about p the sample size varies a lot.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 95% of confidence, our significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.95=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025. And the critical value would be given by:

z_{\alpha/2}=-1.96, z_{1-\alpha/2}=1.96

Part a

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:  

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}    (a)  

And on this case we have that ME =\pm 0.02 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:  

n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}   (b)  

Since we don't have prior information about the population proportion we can use ase estimator \hat p =0.5. And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:

n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.02}{1.96})^2}=2401  

And rounded up we have that n=2401

Part b

For thi case the estimator for p is \hat p =0.07

n=\frac{0.07(1-0.07)}{(\frac{0.02}{1.96})^2}=625.22  

And rounded up we have that n=626

And we see that if we have previous info about p the sample size varies a lot.

Find the distance between points A (10,-1) and B (-2,5). Round to the nearest tenth
bija089 [108]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is 13.4 units</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between two points can be found by using the formula

d =  \sqrt{ ({x1 - x2})^{2}  +  ({y1 - y2})^{2} }  \\

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

A (10,-1) and B (-2,5)

The distance is

|AB|  =  \sqrt{ ({10 + 2})^{2} +  ({ - 1 - 5})^{2}  }  \\  =  \sqrt{ {12}^{2}  +  ({ - 6})^{2} }  \\  =  \sqrt{144 + 36}  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:   \\  =  \sqrt{180}  \\  = 6 \sqrt{5}  \:  \:  \\  =13.416407

We have the final answer as

<h3>13.4 units to the nearest tenth</h3>

Hope this helps you

If point A is located at (-3,-1) and there are 10 points between A and B, what could be the possible coordinates for point B?
Nataly [62]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

By drawing the point (-3,-1) in the coordinate plane we find the graph shown below. Since there are 10 points between points A and B, we need to start at point A and then we have to move 11 units either to the right, to the left, up, or down .

1. MOVING TO THE RIGHT:

From point A, move 11 units horizontally to the right to come to point B:

(-3+11, -1) = (8, -1)

2. MOVING TO THE LEFT:

From point A, move 11 units horizontally to the left to come to point B:

(-3-11, -1) = (-14, -1)

3. MOVING UPWARD:

From point A, move 11 units vertically upward to come to point B:

(-3, -1+11) = (-3, 10)

4. MOVING DOWNWARD:

From point A, move 11 units vertically downward to come to point B:

(-3, -1-11) = (-3, -12)

So this are the basic movements you can get to find point B. You also can move diagonally upwards or downwards  in whose case you would find other four points. The graph below shows a red point which is A, and the other points are in black color and represent B.
