Answer:

13 carnations

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you meant 2/5 because 2.5 would mean there are more roses in the vase than there are flowers in the vase, heres how to solve this.

Understanding

Each fraction is referring to "flowers" not "remaining flowers" and as such each time we will be comparing to the total.

2/5 of the total flowers are roses. This is written in words as for every 5 flowers two are roses, which means we will multiply 2 by how many sets of five we have in 30 flowers.

(30/5) x 2 =

(6) x 2 = 12 roses

Though with fractions its written as 30/1*2/5 which is the same as (30 x 2)/5

60/5 = 12 roses

Following this logic for every 6 flowers one is a daisy.

30/1 * 1/6 = (30 x 1)/6 = 30/6 = 5 daisies

Because the rest are carnations we want to subtract the amount of daisies and roses from the total amount of flowers to find the remaining flowers.

30 - 5 - 12 = 13 carnations

Hope this helps,

Use the sample data and confidence level to construct the confidence interval estimate of the population proportion p. n equals

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

(0.767,0.833)

Step-by-step explanation:

The 95% confidence interval for population proportion p can be computed as

$p-z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } \sqrt{\frac{pq}{n} }$

The z-value associated with 95% confidence level is 1.96.

whereas p=x/n

We are given that x=440 and n=550.

p=440/550=0.8

$0.8-1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.8(0.2)}{550} }$

$0.8-1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.16}{550} }$

$0.8-1.96\sqrt{0.00029 }$

$0.8-1.96(0.01706)$

$0.8-0.03343$

$0.76657$

Thus, the required confidence interval is

0.767<P<0.833 (rounded to 3 decimal places)

Hence, we are 95% confident that our true population proportion will lie in the interval (0.767,0.833)

If f'(x) = 12x^3 - 2x^2 - 17 and f(1) = 8 , find f(x).

Cloud [144]

Answer:

f(x) = 3x⁴ - $\frac{2X^{3} }{3}$ - 17x + $\frac{68}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find f'(x), we will follow the steps below:

We will start by integrating both-side of the equation

∫f'(x) = ∫(12x^3 - 2x^2 - 17)dx

f(x) = 3x⁴ - $\frac{2X^{3} }{3}$ - 17x + C

Then we go ahead and find C

f(1) = 8

so we will replace x by 1 in the above equation and solve for c

f(1) = 3(1)⁴ - $\frac{2(1)^{3} }{3}$ - 17(1) + C

8 = 3 - $\frac{2}{3}$ - 17 + C

C =8 - 3 + 17 + $\frac{2}{3}$

C = 22 + $\frac{2}{3}$

C = $\frac{66 + 2}{3}$

C = $\frac{68}{3}$

f(x) = 3x⁴ - $\frac{2X^{3} }{3}$ - 17x + $\frac{68}{3}$

Find the value of questions

Zolol [24]

Answer:

The simplified expression is:

$\frac{3^9y}{2\times \:81}=\frac{243y}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

$\frac{3^9\times \:y}{2\times 81}$

solving the expression

$\frac{3^9\times \:y}{2\times 81}=\frac{3^9y}{162}$

$=\frac{3^9y}{3^4\times \:2}$ ∵ $162=3^4\times \:2$

$=\frac{3^5y}{2}$ ∵ $\mathrm{Apply\:exponent\:rule}:\quad \frac{x^a}{x^b}=x^{a-b}$

$=\frac{243y}{2}$ ∵ $3^5=243$

Therefore, the simplified expression is:

$\frac{3^9y}{2\times \:81}=\frac{243y}{2}$
