Answer:

a) f(-1) = 1

b) f(0) = 6

c) f(2) = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is lesser than 0, we have that:

f(x) = 4x + 5

Otherwhise

f(x) = x + 6

(a) f(-1)

Here x = -1.

-1 is lesser than 0

Then

f(x) = 4x + 5

f(-1) = 4*(-1) + 5 = -4 + 5 = 1

(b) f(0)

Here x = 0

When x equals 0

f(x) = x + 6

Then

f(0) = 0 + 6 = 6

(c) f(2)

Here x = 2

When x = 2

f(x) = x + 6

Then

f(2) = 2 + 6 = 8

Of 1000 randomly selected cases of lung cancer, 823 resulted in death within 10 years.

Arada [10]

Answer:

a) $0.823 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.823(1-0.823)}{1000}}=0.799$

$0.823 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.823(1-0.823)}{1000}}=0.847$

The 95% confidence interval would be given by (0.799;0.847)

b) $n=\frac{0.823(1-0.823)}{(\frac{0.03}{1.96})^2}=621.79$

And rounded up we have that n=622

c) $n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.03}{1.96})^2}=1067.11$

And rounded up we have that n=1068

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a

$\hat p=\frac{823}{1000}=0.823$

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:

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

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}$

If we replace the values obtained we got:

$0.823 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.823(1-0.823)}{1000}}=0.799$

$0.823 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.823(1-0.823)}{1000}}=0.847$

The 95% confidence interval would be given by (0.799;0.847)

Part b

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 $ME =\pm 0.03$ 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)

And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:

$n=\frac{0.823(1-0.823)}{(\frac{0.03}{1.96})^2}=621.79$

And rounded up we have that n=622

Part c

$n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.03}{1.96})^2}=1067.11$

And rounded up we have that n=1068

Anna walks at a constant rate of 8 miles every 2 hours Graph a line to show the relationship between the time in hours, 1 and th

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

We see that the only complete time-distance pair indicates that she walked 6.4 miles in 2 hours. If she walked at a constant speed, we can conclude that girl walked 3.2 miles in 1 hour. Using this speed, we can find the remaining values in the table. The easier entry to complete is finding out how far she walked in 5 hours: 5 hours⋅3.2 miles/hour=16 miles. To find out how long it took to walk 8 hours we can either notice that 8 is half of 16, so it took half the time to walk half the distance or we can divide 8 miles by 3.2 miles per hour to find that it took 2.5 hours
