You and your friend each collect rocks and fossils. Your friend collects three times as many rocks and half as many fossils as y

Answer:

I collect 4 rocks and 16 fossils. While my friend collects 12 rocks and 8 fossils.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of total objects collected by me = 20

The number of objects collected by my friend = 20

Let us assume:

The number of rocks collected by me = m

The number of fossils collected by me = 2 k

⇒ m + 2 k = 20 .... (1)

So, according to the question:

The number of rocks collected by my friend = 3 x (rocks collected by me)

= 3 x (m) = 3 m

The number of fossils collected by my friend = 1/2 x (fossils collected by me) = 1/2 x (2k ) = k

⇒ 3 m + k = 20 .... (2)

Solving (1)and (2) for the value of m and k, we get:

m + 2 k = 20 ⇒ m = 20 - 2 k ... Put this in (2)

3 m + k = 20 ⇒ 3 (20 - 2 k) + k = 20

⇒ 60 - 6 k + k = 20

or, - 5k = -40

or, k = 40/5 = 8

⇒ k= 8

m + 2(8) = 20

or, m = 4

Hence, the number of rocks collected by me = m = 4

The number of fossils collected by me = 2 k = 2 (4) = 16

Hence, the number of rocks collected by my friend = 3 m = 3 x 4 = 12

The number of fossils collected by my friend = k = 8

Hence, I collect 4 rocks and 16 fossils. While my friend collects 12 rocks and 8 fossils.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(6) = -3 * 6 + 10 = -18 + 10 = -8

g(f(6)) = g(-8)

g(-8) = $(-8)^{2} + 3 * (-8) - 12$ = 64 - 24 - 12 = 64 - 36 = 28

12. Using the value of 0.538 for the proportion of those surveyed who said they exercise at least 30 minutes three or more days

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

$ME=1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.538 (1-0.538)}{15235}}=0.00792$

The margin of error on this case is approximated $\pm 0.792\%$ who is very clos to the +1% reported by the Gallup.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this previous info : "Results are based on telephone interview conducted as part of the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index survey June 1–30,2013, with a random sample of 15,235 adults, aged 18 and older, living in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia.

For results based on the total sample of national adults, one can say with 95% confidence that the maximum margin of sampling error is ±1 percentage point."

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

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

Solution to the problem

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval 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:
