Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle

tan A = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} = \frac{BC}{AC} = \frac{7}{8} , then

∠ A = tan^{-1} (\frac{7}{8} ) ≈ 41° ( to the nearest degree )

The sum of the angles in the triangle = 180° , then

∠ B + 41° + 90° = 180°

∠ B + 131° = 180° ( subtract 131° from both sides )

∠ B = 49°

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle

AB² = BC² + AC² = 7² + 8² = 49 + 64 = 113 ( take square root of both sides )

AB = \sqrt{113} ≈ 10.6 ( to the nearest tenth )

2.3×10⁹=(1×10³)(2.3×10^n)​
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

<em>n = 6 </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

2.3 × 10^{9} = (1 × 10³)(2.3 × 10^{n} )

(1 × 10³)(2.3 × 10^{n} ) = (1)(2.3) × (10³)( 10^{n} ) = 2.3 × 10^{3+n}

2.3 × 10^{3+n} = 2.3 × 10^{9} ⇒ 3 + n = 9 ⇒ <em>n = 6</em>

a line passes through (9, –9) and (10, –5).write an equation for the line in point-slope form. rewrite the equation in standard
Cerrena [4.2K]
The equation of the line in point-slope form is given by:
 y-yo = m (x-xo)&#10;
 Where,
 (xo, yo): point that belongs to the line
 m: slope of the line
 The slope is given by:
 m = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}
 Substituting values:
 m = \frac{-5-(-9)}{10-9}
 Rewriting:
 m = \frac{-5+9}{10-9}
 m = \frac{4}{1}
 m=4
 Now we choose an ordered pair:
 (xo, yo) = (10, -5)&#10;
 Substituting values we have:
 y-(-5)=4(x-10)
 y+5=4(x-10)
 We now rewrite the equation in its standard form:
 y = mx + b&#10;
 Where,
 b: cut with the y axis.
 We have then:
 y = 4x - 40 - 5&#10;&#10;y = 4x - 45
 Answer:
 point-slope form:
 y+5=4(x-10)
 or
 y+9=4(x-9)
 standard form
 y = 4x- 45

Suppose that a researcher is designing a survey to estimate the proportion of adults in your state who oppose a proposed law tha
irinina [24]

Answer:

n=\frac{0.5 (1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.02}{1.96})^2}= 2401

So without prior estimation for the population proportion, using a confidence level of 95% if we want a margin of error about 2% we need al least a sample size of 2401.

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".  

The population proportion have the following distribution  

p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}})  

Solution to the problem

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)  

If solve n from equation (a) we got:  

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

The margin of error desired for this case is ME= \pm 0.02 equivalent to 2% points

For this case we need to assume a confidence level, let's assume 95%. And since we don't have prior estimation for the population proportion of interest the best value to do an approximation is \hat p =0.5

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the margin of error for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 95% of confidence, our significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.95=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025. And the critical value would be given by:  

z_{\alpha/2}=\pm 1.96  

Now we have all the values needed and if we replace into equation (b) we got:

n=\frac{0.5 (1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.02}{1.96})^2}= 2401

So without prior estimation for the population proportion, using a confidence level of 95% if we want a margin of error about 2% we need al least a sample size of 2401.
