Answer:

The 99% confidence interval estimate for the proportion of all 17-year-old students in 2012 who had at least one parent graduate from college is (0.4964, 0.5236).

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}.

Sample of 9000, 51% of students had at least one parent who was a college graduate.

This means that n = 9000, \pi = 0.51

99% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.01, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.01}{2} = 0.995, so Z = 2.575.

The lower limit of this interval is:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.51 - 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.51*0.49}{9000}} = 0.4964

The upper limit of this interval is:

\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.51 + 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.51*0.49}{9000}} = 0.5236

The 99% confidence interval estimate for the proportion of all 17-year-old students in 2012 who had at least one parent graduate from college is (0.4964, 0.5236).

A 5 mile jogging path diagonal divides a rectangular park in half. The park is 4 miles long. Find the width of the park.
levacccp [35]

Answer:  The required width of the park is 3 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that a 5 mile jogging path diagonal divides a rectangular park in half and the park is 4 miles long.

We are to find the width of the park.

As shown in the attached figure below, the diagonal BD divides the rectangle ABCD into two equal parts,

where length DA = 5 miles, BD = 4 miles and AB = width = ?

Since each angle of a rectangle is right-angle, so triangle ABD will be a right-angled triangle.

Using Pythagoras theorem in triangle ABD, we have

BD^2=AB^2+DA^2\\\\\Rightarrow AB=\sqrt{BD^2-DA^2}\\\\\Rightarrow AB=\sqrt{5^2-4^2}\\\\\Rightarrow AB=\sqrt{25-16}\\\\\Rightarrow AB=\sqrt{9}\\\\\Rightarrow AB=3.

Thus, the required width of the park is 3 miles.

Which of the following expressions is equal to 3x^2 + 27
Kisachek [45]
Factor: 
3x^2 + 27
= 3(x^2  + 9)
Answer is 3(x^2 + 9), when factored.


A) (3x + 9i)(x + 3i)
= (3x + 9i)(x + 3i)
= (3x)(x) + (3x)(3i) + (9i)(x) + (9i)(3i)
= 3x^2 + 9ix + 9ix + 27i^2
= 27i^2 + 18ix + 3x^2



B) (3x - 9i)(x + 3i)
= (3x +  - 9i)(x + 3i)
= (3x)(x) + (3x)(3i) + ( - 9i)(x) + (- 9i)(3i)
= 3x^2 + 9ix - 9ix - 27i^2
= 27i^2 + 3x^2


C) (3x - 6i)(x + 21i)
= (3x +  - 6i)(x + 21i)
= (3x)(x) + (3x)(21i) + (- 6i)(x) + ( -6i)(21i)
= 3x^2 + 63ix - 6ix - 126i^2
=  - 126i^2 + 57ix + 3x^2






D) (3x - 9i)(x - 3i)
=  (3x +   - 9)(x +  - 3)
= (3x)(x) + (3x)( - 3i) + (- 9)(x) + ( - 9)( - 3i)
= 3x^2 - 9ix - 9x + 27i
= 9ix + 3x^2 + 27i - 9x









Hope that helps!!!
