5 0

Answer: Yes. The data provides convincing evidence.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a random sample of 40 teenagers, 18 enjoy reading for fun. The percentage of teenagers who enjoy reading for fun will be:

= 18/40 × 100

= 45%

In a random sample of 40 adults, 12 enjoy reading for fun. The percentage of adults who enjoy will be:

= 12/40 × 100

= 30%

Therefore, the proportion of adults who enjoy reading for fun is less than that of teenagers. Therefore, the data provides convincing evidence.

Find the standard form of the equation of the parabola with a focus at (5, 0) and a directrix at x = -5.
Elena-2011 [213]
Let's notice, the focus is at (5,0) and the directrix at x = -5.

keep in mind that there's a distance "p" from the vertex to either of those fellows, therefore, if the focus is at 5,0 and the directrix x = -5, the vertex is half-way between them, check the picture below.

notice the distance "p" there, now, is a horizontal parabola, opening to the right, meaning the value for "p" is positive, or just 5, thus

\bf \textit{parabola vertex form with focus point distance}\\\\&#10;\begin{array}{llll}&#10;\boxed{(y-{{ k}})^2=4{{ p}}(x-{{ h}})}&#10;\\\\&#10;(x-{{ h}})^2=4{{ p}}(y-{{ k}})&#10;\end{array}&#10;\qquad &#10;\begin{array}{llll}&#10;vertex\ ({{ h}},{{ k}})\\\\&#10;{{ p}}=\textit{distance from vertex to }\\&#10;\qquad \textit{ focus or directrix}&#10;\end{array}\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\&#10;\begin{cases}&#10;h=0\\&#10;k=0\\&#10;p=5&#10;\end{cases}\implies (y-0)^2=4(5)(x-0)\implies y^2=20x&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{y^2}{20}=x\implies \cfrac{1}{20}y^2=x
