What are the coordinates of the point LaTeX: \frac{3}{4}\:3 4of the way from A to B? coordinate plane with line segment AB. Poin

Answer: $\left(\dfrac{-7}{2},\dfrac{5}{4}\right)$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Point A is at (-5, -4) and point B at (-3, 3).

We need to find the coordinates of the point which is 3/4 of the way from A to B.

Let the required point be P.

$AP:AB=3:4$

$AP:PB=AP:(AB-AP)=3:(4-1)=3:1$

It means, point P divides segment AB in 3:1.

Section formula: If a point divides a line segment in m:n, then

$\left(\dfrac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},\dfrac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}\right)$

Using section formula, we get

$P=\left(\dfrac{3(-3)+1(-5)}{3+1},\dfrac{3(3)+1(-4)}{3+1}\right)$

$P=\left(\dfrac{-9-5}{4},\dfrac{9-4}{4}\right)$

$P=\left(\dfrac{-14}{4},\dfrac{5}{4}\right)$

$P=\left(\dfrac{-7}{2},\dfrac{5}{4}\right)$

Therefore, the required point is $\left(\dfrac{-7}{2},\dfrac{5}{4}\right)$ .

According to a recent study of 7335 young people in the US, 30% had been arrested for a crime other than a traffic violation by

victus00 [196]

Answer:

a) Statistic.

b) The population proportion is expected to be between 0.29 and 0.31 with a 94% degree of confidence.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The proportion of 30% is a statistic, as it is a value that summarizes data only from the sample taken in the study from USA Today. Other samples may yield different proportions.

b) We can use the statistic to estimate a confidence interval for the parameter of the population.

The standard error for the proportion is calculated as:

$\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{N}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.3\cdot 0.7}{7335}}=\sqrt{2.83\cdot10^5}= 0.00535$

The margin of error is 0.01. We can use this value to determine the level of confidence that represents.

The formula for the margin of error is:

$E=z\cdot \sigma_p=0.01\\\\z\cdot 0.0535=0.01\\\\z=1.87$

This z-value, according to the the standard normal distribution, corresponds to a confidence interval of 94%.

The interval for this margin of error is:

$p-E\leq \pi \leq p+E\\\\0.30-0.01\leq \pi \leq 0.30+0.01\\\\0.29\leq \pi \leq 0.31$

Then, we can conclude that the population proportion is expected to be between 0.29 and 0.31 with a 94% degree of confidence.

On a youth soccer team, 3 out of 12 players played in previous years. Based on this info, if 180 kids are in youth soccer league

Mama L [17]

3 is 25% of 12, so if you apply the same proportion to 180, a quarter of 180 is 45!!
