We wish to determine the proportion of small- to medium-sized streams in eastern North Carolina which have runoff from hog farms

in order to prepare for issues arising from water quality in the aftermath of hurricanes. A random sample of 242 small- to medium-sized streams is selected and it is found that 55 of them have runoff from hog farms. Which of the following is the value of the parameter of interest in this setting?
a. 0.555
b. 0.03298
c. 0.445
d. The value of the parameter of interest cannot be determined from the given information.

Answer:

The value of the parameter of interest in this setting is:

d. The value of the parameter of interest cannot be determined from the given information.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the parameter of interest in this setting, we need information about the population figure of the small-to-medium-sized streams in eastern North Carolina.  We also require the population proportion of these streams, which have runoff from hog farms.  But in this situation, the information is lacking.  Instead, we are given information about the sample, which only produces statistics.  For example, we can calculate the average (mean) proportion of the sample of 242 small-to-medium-sized streams using the 55 that were found to have runoff from hog farms.

How many complex zeros does the polynomial function have? <br><br> F(x)=2x^4 +5x^3 - x^2 +6x-1
klio [65]

Answer:

Two complex roots.

Step-by-step explanation:

F(x)=2x^4 +5x^3 - x^2 +6x-1

is a polynomial in x of degree 4.

Hence F(x) has 4 roots.  There can be 0 or 2 or 4 complex roots to this polynomial since complex roots occur in conjugate pairs.

Use remainder theorem to find the roots of the polynomial.

F(0) = -1 and F(1) = 2+5-1+6-1 = 11>0

There is a change of sign in F from 0 to 1

Thus there is a real root between 0 and 1.

Similarly by trial and error let us find other real root.

F(-3) = -1 and F(-4) = 94

SInce there is a change of sign, from -4 to -3 there exists a real root between -3 and -4.

Other two roots are complex roots since no other place F changes its sign

________is an acute angle and sin theta and cos theta are given. Use identities to find tangent theta, cosecant theta, secant th
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

tangent theta = 12/5,

cosecant theta = 13/12

secant theta = 13/5

Cotangent theta = 5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sine theta= 12/13, cosine theta= 5/13.

According to SOH CAH TOA

Sintheta = Opposite/Hypotenuse = 12/13

Cosine theta = Adjacent/Hypotenuse = 5/13

Opposite = 12, Adjacent = 5, Hypotenuse = 13

Tan theta = Opposite/Adjacent = 12/5.

cosecant theta = 1/sintheta = 1/{12/13}

cosecant theta = 13/12

secant theta = 1/cos theta = 1/{5/13}

Secant theta = 13/5.

Cotangent theta = 1/tan theta = 1/{12/5} = 5/12

viktelen [127]

Answer:

a. Is the answer..

Let's solve for y.

y=−x+3

Answer:

y = −x + 3 = y = −x + 3

Hence f(x) = -x + 3 is equivalent to y = −x + 3

Hope it helps
