Answer:

She still has to cut 1 3 /16

Step-by-step explanation:

Olivia wants to cut 3 3/4 inches from a piece of string. Converting 3 3/4 to improper fraction, it becomes 15/4 inches.

She already cut off 2 9/16 inches converting to improper fractions it becomes 41/16 inches.

15/4 - 41/16 = (60-41)/16 = 19/16 inches

19/16 = 1.187 ~ 1

19 - (16 x 1) =3

A College Alcohol Study has interviewed random samples of students at four-year colleges. In the most recent study, 494 of 1000

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the difference between the proportion of women who drink alcohol and the proportion of men who drink alcohol is (-0.102, -0.014) or (-10.2%, -1.4%).

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to calculate the bounds of a 95% confidence interval of the difference between proportions.

For a 95% CI, the critical value for z is z=1.96.

The sample 1 (women), of size n1=1000 has a proportion of p1=0.494.

$p_1=X_1/n_1=494/1000=0.494$

The sample 2 (men), of size n2=1000 has a proportion of p2=0.552.

$p_2=X_2/n_2=552/1000=0.552$

The difference between proportions is (p1-p2)=-0.058.

$p_d=p_1-p_2=0.494-0.552=-0.058$

The pooled proportion, needed to calculate the standard error, is:

$p=\dfrac{X_1+X_2}{n_1+n_2}=\dfrac{494+552}{1000+1000}=\dfrac{1046}{2000}=0.523$

The estimated standard error of the difference between means is computed using the formula:

$s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_1}+\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_2}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.523*0.477}{1000}+\dfrac{0.523*0.477}{1000}}\\\\\\s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{0.000249+0.000249}=\sqrt{0.000499}=0.022$

Then, the margin of error is:

$MOE=z \cdot s_{p1-p2}=1.96\cdot 0.022=0.0438$

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

$LL=(p_1-p_2)-z\cdot s_{p1-p2} = -0.058-0.0438=-0.102\\\\UL=(p_1-p_2)+z\cdot s_{p1-p2}= -0.058+0.0438=-0.014$

The 95% confidence interval for the difference between proportions is (-0.102, -0.014).

ALSO WORTH 50 POINTS Which graph matches the inequality: 2(4x - 5) < 14x + 8?

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

The correct answer is: C

Step-by-step explanation:

2(4x - 5) < 14x + 8

First multiply 2 by 4x and -5

8x - 10 < 14x + 8

Now find out what x is

Move 14x to the left

8x - 14x - 10 = 8

Then move 10 to the right and change it's sign to plus

8x - 14x = 8 + 10

Now combine like terms

-6x = 18

Now divide 18 by 6 to get x

x = 18/-6

x = -3

Let f(x) = x + 8 and g(x) = x2 − 6x − 7. Find f(g(2)).

just olya [345]

Mathematical Work:
f(x)=x+8
g(x)=x2-6x-7
f(g(2))=(2^2-6(2)-7)+8
f(g(2))=(4-12-7)+8
f(g(2))=-7
Explanation:
f(x)=x+8
g(x)=x2-6x-7
f(g(2))=?
2 was given as the x for function g and when you substitute 2 into function g's equation(g(2)=(2^2-6(2)-7)=-15, you would get -15. The answer to function g would be the x for function f. Which would be f(-15)=-15+8 and the answer for f(g(2)) is -7.
