Answer:

Both solutions are correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Expression:

14x - 2x +3 = 3(5x + 9)

See attachment for Clare and Lins' solution

Required

Determine if they are correct or not

14x - 2x +3 = 3(5x + 9)

Open bracket

14x - 2x + 3 = 15x + 27

Collect like terms

14x - 2x -15x  = -3 + 27

-3x  = 24

Divide by -3

x = \frac{24}{-3}

x = -8

<em>Both solutions are correct</em>

60*20% are red
60*30% are orange
60*30% are green
60*20% are blue = 12 * 20% = 2.4 blue candy chocolates that are damaged

A Pew Internet poll asked cell phone owners about how they used their cell phones. One question asked whether or not during the
EastWind [94]

Answer:

a) \hat p=\frac{471}{1024}=0.460

The standard error is given by:

SE= \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.460(1-0.460)}{1024}}=0.0156

And the margin of error is given by:

ME=z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}=1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.460(1-0.460)}{1024}}=0.0305

b) The 99% confidence interval would be given by (0.429;0.491)

Step-by-step explanation:

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}})

Data given and notation  

n=1024 represent the random sample taken    

X=471 represent the people responded that they had used their cell phone while in a store within the last 30 days to call a friend or family member for advice about a purchase they were considering

\hat p=\frac{471}{1024}=0.460 estimated proportion of people responded that they had used their cell phone while in a store within the last 30 days to call a friend or family member for advice about a purchase they were considering    

p= population proportion of people responded that they had used their cell phone while in a store within the last 30 days to call a friend or family member for advice about a purchase they were considering

Part a

The confidence interval would be given by this formula

\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}

For the 95% confidence interval the value of \alpha=1-0.95=0.05 and \alpha/2=0.025, with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.

z_{\alpha/2}=1.96

The standard error is given by:

SE= \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.460(1-0.460)}{1024}}=0.0156

And the margin of error is given by:

ME=z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}=1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.460(1-0.460)}{1024}}=0.0305

Part b

If we replace the values obtained we got:

0.460-1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.460(1-0.460)}{1024}}=0.429

0.460+1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.460(1-0.460)}{1024}}=0.491

The 99% confidence interval would be given by (0.429;0.491)

Complete the table of values for y=2x squared + x
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

y=2x^2 + 2x - 3 x -2 -1 0 1 2

Step By Step Explanation:

The values can be find by plugging the x values in the equation which gives us the y value ,

x -2 -1 0 1 2

y 1 -3 -3 1 9

(b) Plot the points on the graph and join by a smooth curve.

(c) The line y=1 will be passing through 1 and parallel to x-axis.

(d) solve 2x^2 + 2x - 3 = 1

Subtract 1 from both the sides ,

2x^2 + 2x - 2 = 0

Factoring out the 2 from the equation ,

2(x^2 + x - 1) = 0

x^2 + x - 1 = 0

Apply the quadratic formula

x=(-1-sqrt(5))/2 and x = (-1+sqrt(5))/5

Find y into the nearest hundredth place
vichka [17]

Answer:

12.43ft

Step-by-step explanation:

 From the given diagram, we simply apply the sin rule

According to the sine rule

=

   y is the side y

    y° = (90 - 43) = 47

    z = 17

    z° = 90

Input the parameters and solve;

            \frac{y}{sin 47}  = \frac{17}{sin 90}

       ysin 90 = 17 sin 47

         y = 12.43ft
