Answer:
Jim's current weight = 119 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
1 Stone = 14 pounds
stone = 1.5 stone
1.5 stone = 1.5 (14 pounds) = 21 pounds
Jim lost 21 pounds
Let X be Jim's Original Weight
Y be his present weight
As per given statement in the Question:
After losing 1.5 stones (21 pounds of weight) Jim now weighs Y
Present weight = original weight - 21
Y = X -21 <u> Equation 1</u>
Also Current Weight = 85 % (Original weight)
Y = 85 % (X) =
Y=
put in Equation 1
= X-21
85X = (X-21) 100
85 X = 100 X -2100
or
2100 = 100 X - 85X
2100 = 15X
or
15 X = 2100
X= 140 pounds ( Original Weight)
Current Weight = Y = Original weight - 21 <u><em>(From Equation 1)</em></u>
Y = X -21
Y = 140 -21
Y = 119 pounds (Current Weight)

Answer:
n = 400
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the error in our estimate is given by:
Standard Error : √ ( p(1-p)/ n)
Error = SE = Zα/2 √ ( p(1-p)/ n) where
Zα/2= critical value for 95% confidence level = 1.96
and we know our error is 3.5 %
But we do not the sample proportion p. Then what we can do is give an estimate of p in the absence of any other information.
In this case we will use p= 0.5 which is the value that maximizes the expression for the standard error :
if p = 0.8 then SE= 0.040
p = 0.3 then SE =0.036
p = 0.1 then SE = 0.030
p = 0.5 then SE = 0.050
Substituting
3.5/100 = 1.96 x √ (( 0.5 x 0.5 ) /n )
3.5/ (100 x 1.96 x 0.5 ) = 1/ √n
0.0357 = 1 /√n
n = 20²
n = 400
Answer:
The graph is a horizontal shift of the function two units to the left.
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph is a horizontal shift of the function two units to the left.
Remember that horizontal shifts appear as additions of a constant "c" to the x-coordinate inside the function. When the constant is negative the shift is to the right in |c| units, and when the constant is positive (like in this case) the shift is to the left in |c| units.
