A health magazine reported that 27% of adult males smoke cigarettes. A competing magazine thinks this claim is false. To test th

is claim, they select 40 adult males at random and record if they smoke cigarettes. They calculate a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of adult males who smoke and find it is 0.22 to 0.28.
(a) Interpret the confidence interval.
(b) Calculate the point estimate and margin of error used to create this confidence interval.

Point estimate:___________
Margin of error:___________

(c) Based on the confidence interval, is it plausible that the true proportion of adult males who smoke cigarettes is 27%? Explain.

What is the quotient written in scientific notation? 6 x 10^24 /8 x 10^8
Artist 52 [7]

When you divide 6x10^24 by 8x10^8 you end up with \frac{6}{8} x10^{16}

This simplifies to 0.75x10^{16}

Now this number is not written in scientific notation as it does not have its first digit before the decimal, so we must move the decimal of this one to the right.

To do that you must multiply the number by 10.

This means that the exponet of 10 must decrease by 1.

This makes the answer 7.5x10^{15}

The endpoint is the ___ of the angle
Phoenix [80]

Hey there!

ANSWER: <u>vertex</u>

<h2>EXPLANATION:</h2>

Fill in the blank:

The endpoint is the <u>vertex</u> of the angle.

This is your answer because an angle is formed by two rays which are the sides of an angle and they have an endpoint called the vertex.

Hope this helps!

I’m too lazy to do all of this and I’m also a little confused on it, and I also have more hw besides this one, so ima need all t
Oliga [24]

Answer:

14. 70% of 20000 is 14000. 25% of 14000 is 3500. 3500 students applied.

15. The percentage of 4000 that 2600 equates to would be 65%.

16. 4% of 33000 is 1320.

16b. Double of 1320 is 2640.

17. 3% of 110 + 275 + 200 + 145 is 21.9. 97% of that is 711.1. Total is 730.

18. There are 1656 men working. Total of 1380 + 1656 is 3036. Two ways to solve this are:

Honestly I can't think of two. Sorry, my brain is completely fried today.

19. 760 in sales commissions to meet the wage amount.

20. The agency gets 21010. 30% of that is 6303. This is explained by owning a calculator or simple value elimination.

Solve for x and y:<br> 3/x -1/y =13/10<br> 1/x + 2/y =9/10
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

  (x, y) = (2, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

I find it easier to solve equations like this by solving for x' = 1/x and y' = 1/y. The equations then become ...

  3x' -y' = 13/10

  x' +2y' = 9/10

Adding twice the first equation to the second, we get ...

  2(3x' -y') +(x' +2y') = 2(13/10) +(9/10)

  7x' = 35/10 . . . . . . simplify

  x' = 5/10 = 1/2 . . . . divide by 7

Using the first equation to find y', we have ...

  y' = 3x' -13/10 = 3(5/10) -13/10 = 2/10 = 1/5

So, the solution is ...

  x = 1/x' = 1/(1/2) = 2

  y = 1/y' = 1/(1/5) = 5

  (x, y) = (2, 5)

_____

The attached graph shows the original equations. There are two points of intersection of the curves, one at (0, 0). Of course, both equations are undefined at that point, so each graph will have a "hole" there.
