Mathematical word describes both 27x and 6x in the expression 27x+6x?

Maslowich

The mathematical word describing both $27x$ and $6x$ in the expression $27x+6x$ is "<u><em>addition</em></u>"

<h3>How to form mathematical expression from the given description?</h3>

You can represent the unknown amounts by the use of variables. Follow whatever the description is and convert it one by one mathematically. For example if it is asked to increase some item by 4 , then you can add 4 in that item to increase it by 4. If something is for example, doubled, then you can multiply that thing by 2 and so on methods can be used to convert description to mathematical expressions.

For the given case, the terms were $27x$ and $6x$ and the expression formed from them is $27x+6x$

This means both the terms were added together, as denoted by '+' (called 'plus') sign.

When two terms are written with 'plus' sign in between, then that means they're added to each other and the result will be addition of both of their's values.

Thus, the mathematical word describing both $27x$ and $6x$ in the expression $27x+6x$ is <u><em>addition</em></u>"

"A cable TV company wants to estimate the percentage of cable boxes in use during an evening hour. An approximation is 20 percen

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

The company should take a sample of 148 boxes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The cable TV company whats to know what sample size to take to estimate the proportion/percentage of cable boxes in use during an evening hour.

They estimated a "pilot" proportion of p'=0.20

And using a 90% confidence level the CI should have a margin of error of 2% (0.02).

The CI for the population proportion is made using an approximation of the standard normal distribution, and its structure is "point estimation" ± "margin of error"

[p' ± $Z_{1-\alpha /2} * \sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} }$ ]

Where

p' is the sample proportion/point estimator of the population proportion

$Z_{1-\alpha /2} * \sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} }$ is the margin of error (d) of the confidence interval.

$Z_{1-\alpha /2} = Z_{1-0.05} = Z_{0.95}= 1.648$

So

$d= Z_{1-\alpha /2} * \sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} }$

$d *Z_{1-\alpha /2}= \sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} }$

$(d*Z_{1-\alpha /2})^2= \frac{p'(1-p')}{n}$

$n*(d*Z_{1-\alpha /2})^2= p'(1-p')$

$n= \frac{p'(1-p')}{(d*Z_{1-\alpha /2})^2}$

$n= \frac{0.2(1-0.2)}{(0.02*1.648)^2}$

n= 147.28 ≅ 148 boxes.

I hope it helps!
