Doug’s family buys 7 postcards while on vacation. Each postcard costs 0.25$ including tax. How can Doug use the number line to f

larisa [96]

Answer: Total cost is $1.75

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of postcards bought by Doug's family= 7

Cost of each postcard including tax = $0.25

Total cost is given by

$7\times 0.25=\$1.75$

Now, we want to show this in number line :

On the number line put all the number with a difference of 0.25 and run the number line seven times and we get the answer.

Each step is of length 0.25 and there are 7 jumps to reach required answer.

So, after 7 jumps we reach at 1.75 which is the required answer.

Hence total cost is $1.75

Factor the polynomial completely. 4x3 – 12x2 7x – 21 4x2(x – 3) 7(x – 3) Which is the completely factored polynomial? 4x2(x 4) 3

bixtya [17]

Answer:

(d) (4x² +7)(x -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

This polynomial can be factored by factoring pairs of terms.

= (4x³ -12x²) +(7x -21)

= 4x²(x -3) +7(x -3)

= (4x² +7)(x -3)

<em>Additional comment</em>

The answer choices suggest we're not interested in irrational or complex factors. The quadratic (4x² +7) could be factored into linear terms involving irrational complex numbers. The form for "difference of squares" would be used for the purpose.

The Information Technology Department at a large university wishes to estimate the proportion of students living in the dormitor

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

$n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.05}{1.96})^2}=384.16$

And rounded up we have that n=385

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

Solution to the problem

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 99% of confidence, our significance level would be given by $\alpha=1-0.99=0.01$ and $\alpha/2 =0.005$ . And the critical value would be given by:

$z_{\alpha/2}=-2.58, z_{1-\alpha/2}=2.58$

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}$ (a)

And on this case we have that $ME =\pm 0.05$ and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

$n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}$ (b)

We can use as an estimator for p $\hat p =0.5$ . And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:

$n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.05}{1.96})^2}=384.16$

And rounded up we have that n=385
