I've attached a plot of one such cross-section (orange) over the region in the x-y plane (blue), including the bounding curves (red). (I've set

for this example.)
The length of each cross section (the side lying in the base) has length determined by the horizontal distance

between the y-axis

and the curve

. In terms of

, this distance is

. The height of each cross section is twice the value of

, so the area of each rectangular cross section should be

.
This means the volume would be given by the integral
The decimal of the fraction 2/7 is 0.2857142857
Answer:
Confidence interval: (0.04649,0.04913)
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
Sample size, n = 100,000
Number of people who donated, x = 4781
95% Confidence interval:
Putting the values, we get:
is the required 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of their entire mailing list who may donate.
To estimate the degree of a polynomial, you just have to take a look at the highest power in the expression. Since here, that is number 4, then it means that this polynomial is a fourth degree polynomial, or quartic polynomial, if you want to sound smart. :)
