An elevator is traveling underground at a constant rate. The equation y= -2x - 10 can be used to represent this situation, where
y is the position of the elevator underground in feet and x is the number of seconds the elevator has been traveling Which statement best describes the position of the elevator, given this equation? O From a starting position of 2 feet underground, the elevator is descending 10 feet per second
O From a starting position of 10 feet underground, the elevator is descending 2 feet per second
O From a starting position of 2 feet underground, the elevator is ascending 10 feet per second
O From a starting position of 10 feet underground, the elevator is ascending 2 feet per second
Let p be the true proportion of US adults who believe raising the minimum wage will help the economy. A point estimate for p is and a good aproximation (because we have a large sample) for the standard deviation of is . Therefore, a 99% confidence interval for p is given by where and is the th quantile of the standard normal distribution, so we have, , i.e., or equivalently (0.3798, 0.4602).
