Given:
n = 332, sample size
p = 113/332 = 0.3404, sample proportion
99% confidence interval

The confidence interval for the population is calculated from
$p \pm z^{*} \sqrt{ \frac{p(1-p)}{n} }$
where z* = 2.58 for the 99% confidence level (from tables)..

$2.58 \sqrt{ \frac{0.3404(1-0.3404)}{332} } =0.0671$
Therefore the 99% confidence interval is
(0.3404 - 0.0671, 0.3404 + 0.0671) = (0.2733, 0.4075)

Answer:
The 99% confidence interval is (0.273, 0.408) or (27%, 41%).
That is, between 27% and 41% of the students own cars.

Given :

Brianna is a waitress in an upscale restaurant. On Friday she waited on 12 groups of customers who spent an average of $186 per group.

Her tips averaged 18% of the total amount spent by all the groups of customers that day.

To Find :

Brianna's tip income earnings on Friday.

Solution :

Total amount of money spent by 12 groups :

P = $ 12×186 = $2232 .

She got tip of 18% of the total amount spent by all the groups of customers.

$T = P\times \dfrac{20}{100}\\\\T= 2232\times \dfrac{20}{100}\\\\T=\$446.4$

Brianna's tip income earnings on Friday is $446.4 .

Hence, this is the required solution.

$\bf \begin{array}{lllll}

% slope = m
slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\implies \cfrac{1-3}{3-5}\implies \cfrac{-2}{-2}\implies 1$

The position of an object moving along an x axis is given by x = 3.24 t - 4.20 t2 + 1.07 t3, where x is in meters and t in secon

Pavel [41]

Answer and explanation:

Given : The position of an object moving along an x axis is given by $x=3.24t-4.20t^2+1.07t^3$ where x is in meters and t in seconds.

To find : The position of the object at the following values of t :

a) At t= 1 s

$x(t)=3.24t-4.20t^2+1.07t^3$

$x(1)=3.24(1)-4.20(1)^2+1.07(1)^3$

$x(1)=3.24-4.20+1.07$

$x(1)=0.11$

b) At t= 2 s

$x(t)=3.24t-4.20t^2+1.07t^3$

$x(2)=3.24(2)-4.20(2)^2+1.07(2)^3$

$x(2)=6.48-16.8+8.56$

$x(2)=-1.76$

c) At t= 3 s

$x(t)=3.24t-4.20t^2+1.07t^3$

$x(3)=3.24(3)-4.20(3)^2+1.07(3)^3$

$x(3)=9.72-37.8+28.89$

$x(3)=0.81$

d) At t= 4 s

$x(t)=3.24t-4.20t^2+1.07t^3$

$x(4)=3.24(4)-4.20(4)^2+1.07(4)^3$

$x(4)=12.96-67.2+68.48$

$x(4)=14.24$

(e) What is the object's displacement between t = 0 and t = 4 s?

At t=0, x(0)=0

At t=4, x(4)=14.24

The displacement is given by,

$\triangle x=x(4)-x(0)$

$\triangle x=14.24-0$

$\triangle x=14.24$

(f) What is its average velocity from t = 2 s to t = 4 s?

At t=2, x(2)=-1.76

At t=4, x(4)=14.24

The average velocity is given by,

$\triangle x=x(4)-x(2)$

$\triangle x=14.24-(-1.76)$

$\triangle x=14.24+1.76$

$\triangle x=16$
