Answer:

P(-3\% < x < 3\%) = 0.901

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

p = 21\%

n = 498

Required

P(-3\% < x < 3\%)

First, we calculate the z score

z = \sqrt{p * (1 - p)/n}

z = \sqrt{21\% * (1 - 21\%)/498}

z = \sqrt{21\% * (79\%)/498}

z = \sqrt{0.1659/498}

z = \sqrt{0.000333}

z = 0.0182

So:

P(-3\% < x < 3\%) = P(-3\%/0.0182 < z

P(-3\% < x < 3\%) = P(1.648 < z

From z probability, we have:

P(-3\% < x < 3\%) = 0.901

Which statement describes the end behavior of the exponential function f(x) = 2x – 3?
charle [14.2K]
The <u>correct answer</u> is:

As x→-∞, y→-3.
As x→∞, y→∞.

Explanation:

As our values of x get further into the negative numbers, the value of 2ˣ will approach 0.  This is because raising a number to a negative exponent "flips" the number below the denominator and raises it to a power; we end up with smaller and smaller fractions, eventually so small that they nearly equal 0.  

This will make the value of the function 0-3=-3.

As x gets larger and larger (towards ∞), the value of y, 2ˣ, continues to grow as well.  Since it continues to grow exponentially, we say the value approaches ∞.
