Mkey [24]

Answer:

Tony make 4 half-court shots and misses 16 half-court shots.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Points earned for every successful, half-court shots = $20$

Points deducted for missing the shots = $5$ or $-5$

Total number of shots in the game = $20$

Final points earned by Tony = $0$

According to the question:

Let the number of successful half-court shot be $x$

And the number of shots missed be $20-x$

So,

In terms of points we can re-write it as:

⇒ $20(x)-5(20-x) =0$

⇒ $20x-100+5x=0$

⇒ $25x-100=0$

⇒ $25x-100+100=100$

⇒ $25x=100$

⇒ $\frac{25x}{25} =\frac{100}{25}$

⇒ $x=\frac{100}{25}$

⇒ $x=4$

Tony make 'x' shots that is 4 and the number of shot he missed is (20-x) =(20-4)=16

PRACTICE ANOTHER A piece of wire 18 m long is cut into two pieces. One piece is bent into a square and the other is bent into an

sergejj [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equations

4x + 3y = 18 where x = the side of the square and y = the side of the triangle

For the areas:

A = x^2 + √3y/2* y/2

A = x^2 + √3y^2/4

From the first equation x = (18 - 3y)/4

So substituting in the area equation:

A = [ (18 - 3y)/4]^2 + √3y^2/4

A = (18 - 3y)^2 / 16 + √3y^2/4

Now for maximum / minimum area the derivative = 0 so we have

A' = 1/16 * 2(18 - 3y) * -3 + 1/4 * 2√3 y = 0

-3/8 (18 - 3y) + √3 y /2 = 0

-27/4 + 9y/8 + √3y /2 = 0

-54 + 9y + 4√3y = 0

y = 54 / 15.93

= 3.39 metres

So x = (18-3(3.39) / 4 = 1.96.

This is a minimum value for x.

So the total length of wire the square for minimum total area is 4 * 1.96

= 7.84 m

There is no maximum area as the equation for the total area is a quadratic with a positive leading coefficient.

There are 9,481 eligible voters in a precinct. 500 were selected at random and asked to indicate whether they planned to vote fo

maria [59]

Answer:

The confidence limits for the proportion that plan to vote for the Democratic incumbent are 0.725 and 0.775.

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 $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$ .

Of the 500 surveyed, 350 said they were going to vote for the Democratic incumbent.

This means that $n = 500, \pi = \frac{350}{500} = 0.75$

80% confidence level

So $\alpha = 0.2$ , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{0.2}{2} = 0.9$ , so $Z = 1.28$ .

The lower limit of this interval is:

$\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.75 - 1.28\sqrt{\frac{0.75*0.25}{500}} = 0.725$

The upper limit of this interval is:

$\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.75 + 1.28\sqrt{\frac{0.75*0.25}{500}} = 0.775$

The confidence limits for the proportion that plan to vote for the Democratic incumbent are 0.725 and 0.775.
