Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of all voters in the state who favor approval is (0.4384, 0.5050).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

For this problem, we have that:

n = 865, \pi = \frac{408}{865} = 0.4717

95% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.05, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975, so Z = 1.96.

The lower limit of this interval is:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.4717 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.4717*0.5283}{865}} = 0.4384

The upper limit of this interval is:

\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.4717 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.4717*0.5283}{865}} = 0.5050

The 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of all voters in the state who favor approval is (0.4384, 0.5050).

Solve the following equation by factoring 2x^2-5x-12=0
Korolek [52]
Answer: x = 4 and x = -3/2

Procedure:

1) Given: 2x^2 - 5x - 12 = 0

2) Multiply both sides by : 2(2x^2) - 2(5x) - 2(12) = 0

3) Rearrange: (2x)^2 -5(2x) - 24 = 0

4) Notice that the common factor is (2x)

5) Set the parenthesis with the common factor inside:

(2x     ) (2x     ) =0

6) The first sign is the same sign of the second term of the trinomial, which is negative, the second sign is the product of the signs of the second and the third terms of the polynomial, which is (-)*(-) = + (positive)

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

7) find two numbers that sum up - 5x and its product is -24.

- 8 + 3 = - 5
(-8)(+3) = -24

=> the numbers in the factors are -8 and +3

(2x - 8) (2x + 3) = 0

That is the factored equation. Now you can solve

8) a) 2x - 8 = 0 => 2x = 8 => x = 8/2 => x = 4

b) 2x + 3 = 0 => 2x = - 3 => x = - 3/2

Answer: the two solutions are x = 4 and x = -3/2
