A health magazine reported that 27% of adult males smoke cigarettes. A competing magazine thinks this claim is false. To test this claim, they select 40 adult males at random and record if they smoke cigarettes. They calculate a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of adult males who smoke and find it is 0.22 to 0.28.

(a) Interpret the confidence interval.
(b) Calculate the point estimate and margin of error used to create this confidence interval.

Point estimate:___________
Margin of error:___________

(c) Based on the confidence interval, is it plausible that the true proportion of adult males who smoke cigarettes is 27%? Explain.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Thanks, so cube root of 512 is 8 and reciprocal of 0.4 is 2.5 then:

8 : 2.5 / divide both by 2.5 to get:

3.2 : 1 that's my answer right?

The correct form of the ratio of cube root of 512: reciprocal of 0.4 is 3.2:1

What is a cube root?

It is a number y such that y to the power 3 is equal to x.

How to find ratio?

We have to find the ratio of cube root of 512 and the reciprocal of 0.4  which will be as follows

cube root of 512:  reciprocal of 0.4

8: 1/0.4

8=2.5

dividing by 2.5

3.2 : 1

Hence the ratio will be 3.2 :1 of cube root of 512 and the reciprocal of 0.4

Three years ago the sum of the ages of father and his son was
48 years and three years hence father's age will be three times
that of his son. Find the present ages of the father and his son.​

Answers

Answer:

The father is 42 years old and the son is 12 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since three years ago the sum of the ages of father and his son was 48 years, and three years hence father's age will be three times that of his are his, to find the present ages of the father and his are his, the following calculations must be performed:

F + S = 48

F + 6 + S + 6 = 3S

34 + 14 = 48 /// 34 + 6 = 40 --- 14 + 6 = 20 (x 3 = 60)

38 + 10 = 48 /// 38 + 6 = 44 --- 10 + 6 = 16 (x 3 = 48)

40 + 8 = 48 /// 40 + 6 = 46 --- 8 + 6 = 14 (x 3 = 42)

39 + 9 = 48 /// 39 + 6 = 45 --- 9 + 6 = 15 (x 3 = 45)

39 + 3 = 42

9 + 3 = 12

Therefore, the father is 42 years old and the son is 12 years old.

A vector is used to express a car's change in position, or displacement, by tracking its motion over a large area defined by a coordinate grid. If the car begins at (−3,−5) and ends at (5,9), which of these expresses the car's displacement in vector form?

A
(14,8)

B
(10,12)

C
(8,14)

D
(2,4)

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is option C: (8, 14).

Step-by-step explanation:

The car's displacement in vector form can be found by subtracting the initial points from the final points.    

Initial: (x₁, y₁) = (-3, -5)

Final: (x₂, y₂) = (5, 9)          

For the x-coordinate, we have:  

[tex] d_{x} = x_{2} - x_{1} = 5 - (-3) = 8 [/tex]

And for the y-coordinate, we have:

[tex] d_{y} = y_{2} - y_{1} = 9 - (-5) = 14 [/tex]

The car's displacement in vector form is:

[tex] d = (d_{x}, d_{y}) = (8, 14) [/tex]  

Therefore, the correct answer is option C: (8, 14).

Find a polynomial equation that has roots of -2 and double root 3

Answers

Answer:

x³ + 2x² -3x +6

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the polynomial whose roots are ,

-2 , √3 and √3.

Say of we have zeroes as , α , β and γ , then the polynomial is ,

=> p(x) = k[ (x - α ) ( x - β) ( x - γ) ]

where k is constant. Substituting the respective values , we have ,

=> p(x) = k [ ( x - (-2)) ( x - √3) ( x -√3)]

=> p(x) = k[ (x+2)(x² - 3)]

=> p(x) = k[ x(x² - 3) + 2(x² - 3) ]

=> p(x) = k[ x³ - 3x + 2x² - 6 ]

=> p(x) = k[ + 2x² - 3x - 6 ]

Hence the cubic polynomial is + 2x² - 3x + 6 .
