Complete question :

Two researchers, Jaime and Mariya, are each constructing confidence intervals for the proportion of a population who is left-handed. They find the point estimate is 0.13. Each independently constructed a confidence interval based on the point estimate, but Jaime’s interval has a lower bound of 0.097 and an upper bound of 0.163, while Mariya’s interval has a lower bound of 0.117 and an upper bound of 0.173. Which interval is wrong? Why?

Answer:

Mariya's interval

Step-by-step explanation:

Point estimate = 0.13

Mariya's confidence interval :

Lower boundary = 0.117

Upper boundary = 0.173

Jamie's confidence interval :

Lower boundary = 0.097

Upper boundary = 0.163

The correct confidence interval should have an average value equal to the value of the point estimate ;

Jamie's confidence interval average :

(0.097 + 0.163) / 2 = 0.26 / 2 = 0.13

Mariya's confidence interval average :

(0.117 + 0.173) / 2 = 0.29 / 2 = 0.145

Based on the confidence interval average obtained we can conclude that Mariya's interval is wrong as it the average obtained is greater than the point estimate.

0.145 > 0.13

Answer:

24) D

25) D

Step-by-step explanation:

24) D

We want to find the equation of a line (in slope-intercept form) that passes through (2, -2) and is perpendicular to y=\frac{2}{5}x+2.

First, let's find the slope of our new line.

Remember that perpendicular slopes are negative reciprocals of each other.

Therefore, to find the slope of our new line, we will flip our old slope and add a negative.

Therefore, the slope of our new line is -5/2.

Now, we can use the point-slope form:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Where m is the slope and (x₁, y₁) is a point.

So, let's substitute -5/2 for our slope and (2, -2) for our point (x₁, y₁). This yields:

y-(-2)=-\frac{5}{2}(x-2)

Simplify:

y+2=-\frac{5}{2}(x-2)

Let's convert this to slope-intercept form. Distribute the right:

y+2=-\frac{5}{2}x+5

Subtract 2 from both sides. So, our equation is:

y=-\frac{5}{2}x+3

Our answer is D.

25)

We know that the cost for buying x items is given by the function:

C(x)=6x

We also know that the items are sold in packages of 10 only. And no one can buy more than 5 packages. In other words, we can buy 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 packages.

So, let's see how much it will be if we buy 0 packages. This will just be:

C(0)=6(0)=\$0

If we buy 1 package, there will be 10 items in them. So:

C(10)=6(10)=\$60

If we do this for 2 packages (20 items), 3 packages (30 items), and so on, we will get:

C(20)=6(20)=\$120\\C(30)=6(30)=\$180\\C(40)=6(40)=\$240\\C(50)=6(50)=\$300

So, our range is:

\{0, 60, 120, 180, 240, 300\}

The correct answer is D.

And we're done!

Hey!!

here is your answer >>>

Let us group them,

we get,

The groups are =

(X3 and 8x^2 ) ( 6x and 48)

Now, let's take common in these numbers!. We get,

X^2 ( X + 8) + 6(X + 8) !.

X+8 is common!.

so, it will become ,

(X^2+6)(X+8).

Hope my answer helps!

3. Samuel tiene 11 cajas con mosaicos cuadrados de 20 cm por
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

Primero veamos el área de la pared, es decir, el área total que Samuel debe cubrir.

La pared es de 3m por 2m.

Entonces el area es:

A = 3m*¨2m = 6m^2.

Ahora veamos los mosaicos.

Cada mosaico es un cuadrado de 20cm por 20cm.

El primer paso sería cambiar las unidades para tener metros aca también.

1cm = 0.01m

entonces.

20cm = 20*0.01m = 0.2m.

Entonces cada mosaico es:

0.2m por 0.2m

El área de cada mosaico es:

a = 0.2m*0.2m = 0.04m^2.

En una caja de mosaicos hay 14 mosaicos, entonces con una caja Samuel puede cubrir 14 veces a, o:

14*0.04m^2 = 0.56m^2.

Y Samuel tiene 11 cajas, entonces tenemos 11 veces lo de arriba:

11*0.56m^2 = 6.16m^2.

Y el área de la pared es 6m^2.

6.16m^2 > 6m^2

Entonces con las 11 cajas de mosaicos podemos cubrir completamente esa pared, y vamos a tener algunos mosaicos sobrantes.

Entonces Samuel no debe comprar mas cajas.
