Answer:

g(-1) = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

this is a function, when it says f(x) or g(x), whatever, and then gives, in this case g(-1), it wants you to substitute -1 into all the x values.

Therefore, our equation is g(-1)= -5 (-1) +2

this simplifies to g(-1)= 7

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to plug in -1 for x. Here's what we get:

$-5(-1)+2$ multiplying two negative numbers gives us a positive number

$5+2$

= 7

You estimated the average rental cost of a 2 bedroom apartment in Denton. A random sample of 16 apartments was taken. The sample

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

The new sample size required in order to have the same confidence 95% and reduce the margin of erro to $60 is:

n=28

Step-by-step explanation:

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

Assuming the X follows a normal distribution

$X \sim N(\mu, \sigma=160)$

And the distribution for $\bar X$ is:

$\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{160}{\sqrt{n}})$

We know that the margin of error for a confidence interval is given by:

$Me=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

The next step would be find the value of $\z_{\alpha/2}$ , $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$ and $\alpha/2=0.025$

Using the normal standard table, excel or a calculator we see that:

$z_{\alpha/2}=\pm 1.96$

If we solve for n from formula (1) we got:

$\sqrt{n}=\frac{z_{\alpha/2} \sigma}{Me}$

$n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2} \sigma}{Me})^2$

And we have everything to replace into the formula:

$n=(\frac{1.96(160)}{78.4})^2 =16$

And this value agrees with the sample size given.

For the case of the problem we ar einterested on Me= $60, and we need to find the new sample size required to mantain the confidence level at 95%. We know that n is given by this formula:

$n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2} \sigma}{Me})^2$

And now we can replace the new value of Me and see what we got, like this:

$n=(\frac{1.96*160}{60})^2 =27.32$

And if we round up the answer we see that the value of n to ensure the margin of error required $Me=\pm 60$ $ is n=28.

Which are the coordinates of the x-intercept in the equation −4x+5y=20 ?

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer: (-5,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

-4x + 5y = 20 the x intercept is when y is zero so input zero into the equation and solve for x.

-4x + 5(0) = 20

-4x = 20

x = -5
