36 out of 100 randomly selected taxpayers knew about tax incentives for installing energy-saving furnaces. Find a 90% confidence

tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

The 90% confidence interval for the population proportion who knew about the incentives is (0.28, 0.44).

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:

$n = 100, \pi = \frac{36}{60} = 0.6$

90% confidence level

So $\alpha = 0.1$ , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{0.1}{2} = 0.95$ , so $Z = 1.645$ .

The lower limit of this interval is:

$\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.36 - 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.36*0.64}{100}} = 0.28$

The upper limit of this interval is:

$\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.36 + 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.36*0.64}{100}} = 0.44$

The 90% confidence interval for the population proportion who knew about the incentives is (0.28, 0.44).

Two cargo ships are sailing a direct course into harbor. Ship A is 22 miles from harbor. Ship Bis sailing into harbor on a cours

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

The distance of ship B from the Harbor is 32.26 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, great question. These types are questions are the beginning steps for learning more advanced Equations.

I have added a visual aid of the problem. As we can see the courses of both ship to the harbor forms a triangle with ship B being the hypotenuse. Since we are given the distance of the course for ship A and the angle between both ships, we can use this information with the COSINE operator to solve for the length of the course of ship B.

$cos(x) = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$

$cos(47) = \frac{22miles}{hypotenuse}$ .... flip both fractions.

$\frac{1}{cos(47)} = \frac{hypotenuse}{22miles}$ .... multiply both sides by 22

$\frac{22mi}{cos(47)} = hypotenuse$

$32.26mi = hypotenuse = B$

So the distance of ship B from the Harbor is 32.26 miles

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.

Fill in the steps to solve the log log base x of (2x)^3=6

arsen [322]

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

logx (2x)^3 = 6

We can rewrite without the exponent

3 logx (2x) = 6

Divide by 3

3/3 logx (2x) = 6/3

logx (2x) = 2

Raise each side to the base x

x^ logx (2x) =x^ 2

2x = x^2

Subtract 2x from each side

2x-2x = x^2 -2x

0 = x^2 -2x

Factor an x

0 = x(x-2)

Using the zero product property

x =0 x-2 =0

x =0 x=2

We cannot have a base of 0, so x cannot equal 0

x=2

A motorcycle cost $12,000 when it was purchased. The value of a motorcycle decreases by 6% each year. Find the rate of decay eac

dalvyx [7]

the rate of decay each month can calculated using the following formula:

6%/year × 1 year/(12 months) = 0.5%/month
0.06 x 1/12 = 0.005/month
So the 0.5% is the right answer.
I hope it helped.
