Answer:

$\frac{1}{2}x$

Step-by-step explanation:

If the greater number is x and it is two times greater than the other number then the other number is half as big. This is true because 2* $\frac{1}{2}$ x = x

A computer manufacturing company has sent a mail survey to 2,800 of its randomly selected customers that have purchased a new la

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

The 96% confidence interval for the population proportion of customers satisfied with their new computer is (0.77, 0.83).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate a 96% confidence interval for the proportion.

We consider the sample size to be the customers that responded the survey (n=800), as we can not assume the answer for the ones that did not answer.

The sample proportion is p=0.8.

$p=X/n=640/800=0.8$

The standard error of the proportion is:

$\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.8*0.2}{800}}\\\\\\ \sigma_p=\sqrt{0.0002}=0.014$

The critical z-value for a 96% confidence interval is z=2.054.

The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:

$MOE=z\cdot \sigma_p=2.054 \cdot 0.014=0.03$

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

$LL=p-z \cdot \sigma_p = 0.8-0.03=0.77\\\\UL=p+z \cdot \sigma_p = 0.8+0.03=0.83$

The 96% confidence interval for the population proportion is (0.77, 0.83).

Clayton has $500 in his retirement account, and Jason has $400 in his. Clayton is adding $10 per day, whereas Jason is contribut

daser333 [38]

Answer:

$1000

Step-by-step explanation:

We can form an equation for Clayton's account: C = 500 + 10x

We can form an equation for Clayton's account: J = 400 +12x

(where x is the number of days)

When the two accounts will contain the same amount, it means: C = J

<=> 500 + 10x = 400 +12x

<=> x =50

After 50 days, there accounts will be balance. Then, we substitue x into any of the 2 equation to find out the amount: 500 + 10(50) = $1000
