Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

180-160 = 20 which equals the exterior angle

the sum of exterior angles is 360 so 360/20 = the number of sides as there is an exterior angle for every side

360/20 = 18

So

y=ax^2+bx+c
(x,y)
sub the points and solve

(4.28,6.48)
6.48=a(4.28)^2+b(4.28)+c

(12.61,15.04)
15.04=a(12.61)^2+b(12.61)+c
well, for 3 variables, we need equations and therefor 3 points

maybe we are supposed to assume it starts at (0,0)
so then
0=a(0)^2+b(0)+c
0=c
so then
6.48=a(4.28)^2+b(4.28)
15.04=a(12.61)^2+b(12.61)

solve for a by subsitution
first equation, minut a(4.28)^2 from both sides
6.48-a(4.28)^2=b(4.28)
divide both sides by 4.28
(6.48/4.28)-4.28a=b
sub that for b in other equation

15.04=a(12.61)^2+b(12.61)
15.04=a(12.61)^2+((6.48/4.28)-4.28a)(12.61)
expand
15.04 =a(12.61)^2+(81.7128/4.28)-53.9708a
minus (81.7128/4.28) both sides
15.04-(81.7128/4.28)=a(12.61)^2-53.9708a
15.04-(81.7128/4.28)=a((12.61)^2-53.9708)
(15.04-(81.7128/4.28))/(((12.61)^2-53.9708))=a
that's the exact value of a
to find b, subsitute to get
(6.48/4.28)-4.28((15.04-(81.7128/4.28))/(((12.61)^2-53.9708)))=b

if we aprox
a≈-0.038573167896199
b≈1.6791118501845
so then the equation is
y=-0.038573167896199x²+1.6791118501845x

An automobile manufacturer would like to know what proportion of its customers are not satisfied with the service provided by th

monitta

Answer:

a) n =1623

b) $ME=2.0538\sqrt{\frac{0.21 (1-0.21)}{1623}}=0.0208$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Notation and definitions

$n$ random sample taken

$\hat p=0.19$ estimated proportion of customers are not satisfied with the service provided by the local dealer

Confidence =0.96 or 96%

Me= 0.02 represent the margin of error

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

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".

The population proportion have the following distribution

$p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})$

Part a

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 96% of confidence, our significance level would be given by $\alpha=1-0.96=0.04$ and $\alpha/2 =0.02$ . And the critical value would be given by:
