The margin of error for 324 adults surveyed with 1.6 standard deviations is 0.1742.

<h3>What is the margin of error?</h3>

The margin of error can be defined as the amount of random sampling error in the results of a survey. It is given by the formula,

\text{MOE}_{\gamma}=z_{\gamma} \times \sqrt{\frac{\sigma^{2}}{n}}

\text{MOE} = margin of error

\gamma = confidence level

z_{\gamma} = quantile

σ = standard deviation

n = sample size

As it is given that the sample size of the survey is 324, while the standard deviation of the survey is 1.6.

We know that the value of the z for 95% confidence interval is 1.96. Therefore, using the formula of the standard of error we can write it as,

\text{MOE}_{\gamma}=z_{\gamma} \times \sqrt{\dfrac{\sigma^{2}}{n}}\\\\\text{MOE}_{\gamma}=1.96 \times \sqrt{\dfrac{1.6^{2}}{324}}\\\\\text{MOE}_{\gamma}=0.1742

Hence, the margin of error for 324 adults surveyed with 1.6 standard deviations is 0.1742.

Which of the sets of equations represent the two lines graphed?
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

B) y = x + 2 and y = -x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equation of a straight line with x-intercept 'a' and y-intercept 'b' be

\frac{x}{a}  +  \frac{y}{b}  = 1

The line with positive slope has x-intercept a=-2 and y-intercept b=2.

Its equation is:

\frac{x}{ - 2}  +  \frac{y}{2}  = 1

Multiply through by 2

- x + y = 2

Solve for y,

\boxed {y = x + 2}

For the line with a negative slope,

the x-intercept is a=-4 and the y-intercept is b=-4

Its equation is

\frac{x}{ - 4}  +  \frac{y}{ - 4}  = 1

Multiply through by -4

x + y =  - 4

Solve for y

\boxed {y =  - x - 4}

A baseball is thrown with an upward velocity of 32 feet per second. The equation h=-16t^2+32t gives the height of the ball t sec
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

The function of height has a maximum value.

Step-by-step explanation:

Maximum or Minimum:

A given function f(x).

  1. Find out f'(x) and f''(x)
  2. Then set f'(x)=0 which gives x=a.
  3. f''(a) > 0 , then at x=a , f(x) has minimum value.
  4. If f''(a)<0 , then at x=a, f(x) has maximum value.

Given that, a baseball is thrown with with an velocity of 32 feet per second.

The equation of height is

h=-16t^2+32t

Differentiating with respect to t

h'=-32 t+32

Again differentiating with respect to t

h''=-32

Next, we set h'=0

-32 t+32=0

\Rightarrow 32t=32

\Rightarrow t=1

Now h''|_{t=1}=-32

Since at t=1, h''<0.

The function of height has a maximum value.

The maximum of h is = -16.(1)²+32

                                     = -16+32

                                     =16 feet
