2. An economist reports that 576 out of a sample of 1,200 middle-income American households participate in the stock market. A confidence interval of [0.468, 0.492] was calculated. What confidence level was used in this calculation
Answer:
Confidence level = 59.46%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
An economist reports that 576 out of a sample of 1,200 middle-income American households participate in the stock market.
sample mean = 576
sample size = 1200
The sample proportion [tex]\hat p[/tex] = x/n
The sample proportion [tex]\hat p[/tex] = 576/1200 = 0.48
A confidence interval of [0.468, 0.492] was calculated. What confidence level was used in this calculation?
The confidence interval level can be determined by using the formula:
[tex]M.E =Z_{critical} \times \sqrt{\dfrac{\hat p (1- \hat p)}{n}}[/tex]
If the calculated confidence interval was [0.468, 0.492]
Then,
[tex]\hat p[/tex] - M.E = 0.468
0.48 -M.E = 0.468
0.48 - 0.468 = M.E
0.012 = M.E
M.E = 0.012
NOW;
[tex]0. 012 =Z_{critical} \times \sqrt{\dfrac{0.48 (1- 0.48)}{1200}}[/tex]
[tex]0. 012 =Z_{critical} \times \sqrt{\dfrac{0.48 (0.52)}{1200}}[/tex]
[tex]0. 012 =Z_{critical} \times \sqrt{\dfrac{0.2496}{1200}}[/tex]
[tex]0. 012 =Z_{critical} \times \sqrt{2.08\times10^{-4}}[/tex]
[tex]0. 012 =Z_{critical} \times 0.01442[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{0. 012}{0.01442} =Z_{critical}[/tex]
[tex]Z_{critical} =0.8322[/tex]
From the standard normal tables,
the p - value at [tex]Z_{critical} =0.8322[/tex] = 0.7973
Since the test is two tailed
[tex]1 - \alpha/2= 0.7973[/tex]
[tex]\alpha/2= 1-0.7973[/tex]
[tex]\alpha/2= 0.2027[/tex]
[tex]\alpha= 0.2027 \times 2[/tex]
[tex]\alpha= 0.4054[/tex]
the level of significance = 0.4054
Confidence level = 1 - level of significance
Confidence level = 1 - 0.4054
Confidence level = 0.5946
Confidence level = 59.46%

A boat takes 3 days to travel from town A to town B, but it takes 4 days to travel from town B to town A. If a motor-less raft is left alone in the water by town A, how long will it take for the raft to float to town B?
Answer:
24 days
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance from A to B equals the distance from B to A.
Let the distance between A and B be d.
3 days = 72 hours
4 days = 96 hours
speed = distance/time
speeds are in miles per hour
speed from A to B = d/72
speed from B to A = d/96
difference in speeds:
d/72 - d/96 = d/288
The speed of the water is half of the difference.
speed = d/576
When the raft floats from A to B, it uses only the speed of the water.
d/576 / d/72 = 1/8
The speed of the water is 1/8 the overall speed of the trip from A to B, so traveling by the speed of the water alone must take 8 times longer than with the boat motor.
8 * 3 days = 24 days

Customers arrive at a rate of 24 people per hour to a bank. Assume that the number of customers arriving can be described using the Poisson distribution. What is the probability that at most 30 customers arrive in the next hour
Answer:
0.90415
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following :
Arrival rate = mean(μ) = 24
Probability that at most 30 customers arrive in the next hour:
The poisson distribution formula :
P(x, μ) = [(e^-μ) * (μ^x)] / x!
Where :
e = euler's constant
P(x ⩽ 30) = p(0) + p(1) + p(2) +.... + p(30)
Using the online poisson probability distribution calculator :
P(x ⩽ 30, 24) = 0.90415
Therefore there is about 90.4% probability that at most 30 customers will arrive in the next hour.

Answer:
The value of k is [tex]k = 214285.7[/tex]
The percentage of the oil that will be cleaned is [tex]x = 80.77\%[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The cost of cleaning up the spillage is [tex]C = \frac{ k x }{100 - x }[/tex] [tex]x \le x \le 100[/tex]
The cost of cleaning x = 70% of the oil is [tex]C = \$500,000[/tex]
Now at [tex]C = \$500,000[/tex] we have
[tex]\$ 500000 = \frac{ k * 70 }{100 - 70 }[/tex]
[tex]\$ 500000 = \frac{ k * 70 }{30 }[/tex]
[tex]\$ 500000 = \frac{ k * 70 }{30 }[/tex]
[tex]k = 214285.7[/tex]
Now When [tex]C = \$900,000[/tex]

Gerald graphs the function f(x) = (x – 3)2 – 1. Which statements are true about the graph? Select three options.
Answer:
The answer is "Choice B, C, and F is correct".
Step-by-step explanation:
The following are choices, which is missing in the question, that can be defined as follows:
A) {x| x ≥ 3} is the domain.
B) The set shall be {y| y ≥ –1}.
C) over the interval (–∞, 3), is the function, that decreases.
D) it's over the duration the function increases its value, that is (–1, ∞).
E) The symmetry axis will be x = – 1.
F) vertex is (3, – 1).
In choice A, It is incorrect even though f is the domain, which is all true numbers because it has a quadrant function. In choice B, it is correct. In choice C, It is valid because it was a parable open with vertex so if we exploded view f (3, -1). Because as value opens up, its value with x from-∞ to 3 drops while it goes up from increasing from 3 to ∞. In choice D, It is wrong since we have just said f decreases from-∞ to 3. Therefore, f decreases from -1 to 3, too. Therefore, f doesn't grow from -1 to ∞. In choice E, It is incorrect because the symmetry axis is x = 3. In choice F, it is true.Answer:
the answers are b, c, e

Question
The point (-2,r) lies on the graph of 2x + y = 7 in the xy-plane. What is the value of r?
Answer: r = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the point (-2, r) lies on the graph of:
2*x + y = 7.
Then, if we that point is on the graph of the equation, we can replace the values and we will have:
2*(-2) + r = 7
and now we solve this for r-
-4 + r = 7
r = 7 + 4 = 11
r = 11

Open the graphing tool. Move the slider for the equation y = kx3 to a position of your choice, where k ≠ 1. Next, move the slider of y = (kx)3 so the two graphs lie on top of one another. How do the values of k compare with one another in this situation? Why do you think that is?
Answer:
For the functions to coincide, the value of k in y = (kx)3 must be smaller than in y = kx3. This is because the value of y changes more rapidly when k is cubed inside the parentheses. The behavior of the functions is similar since a vertical stretch is similar to a horizontal compression.

The graph of F(x), shown below in pink, has the same shape as the graph of
G(x) = x3, shown in gray. Which of the following is the equation for F(x)?
Greetings from Brasil...
In this problem we have 2 translations: 4 units horizontal to the left and 3 units vertical to the bottom.
The translations are established as follows:
→ Horizontal
F(X + k) ⇒ k units to the left
F(X - k) ⇒ k units to the right
→ Vertical
F(X) + k ⇒ k units up
F(X) - k ⇒ k units down
In our problem, the function shifted 4 units horizontal to the left and 3 units vertical to the bottom.
F(X) = X³
4 units horizontal to the left: F(X + 4)
3 units vertical to the bottom: F(X + 4) - 3
So,
F(X) = X³
F(X + 4) - 3 = (X + 4)³ - 3The transformed function is f ( x ) = ( x + 4 )³ - 3 and the graph is plotted
What happens when a function is transformed?Every modification may be a part of a function's transformation.
Typically, they can be stretched (by multiplying outputs or inputs) or moved horizontally (by converting inputs) or vertically (by altering output).
If the horizontal axis is the input axis and the vertical is for outputs, if the initial function is y = f(x), then:
Vertical shift, often known as phase shift:
Y=f(x+c) with a left shift of c units (same output, but c units earlier)
Y=f(x-c) with a right shift of c units (same output, but c units late)
Vertical movement:
Y = f(x) + d units higher, up
Y = f(x) - d units lower, d
Stretching:
Stretching vertically by a factor of k: y = k f (x)
Stretching horizontally by a factor of k: y = f(x/k)
Given data ,
Let the function be represented as g ( x )
Now , the value of g ( x ) = x³
And , the transformed function has coordinates as A ( -4 , -3 )
So , when function is shifted 4 units to the left , we get
g' ( x ) = ( x + 4 )³
And , when the function is shifted vertically by 3 units down , we get
f ( x ) = ( x + 4 )³ - 3
Hence , the transformed function is f ( x ) = ( x + 4 )³ - 3
