The Consumer Reports National Research Center conducted a telephone survey of 2,000 adults to learn about the major economic concerns for the future. The survey results showed that 1,740 of the respondents think the future health of Social Security is a major economic concern.

Required:
a. What is the point estimate of the population proportion of adults who think the future health of Social Security is a major economic concern.
b. At 90% confidence, what is the margin of error?
c. Develop a 90% confidence interval for the population proportion of adults who think the future health of Social Security is a major economic concern.
d. Develop a 95% confidence interval for this population proportion.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a. 0.87

b. The margin of error is of 0.0124.

c. The 90% confidence interval for the population proportion of adults who think the future health of Social Security is a major economic concern is (0.8576, 0.8824).

d. The 95% confidence interval for this population proportion is (0.8553, 0.8847).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

The margin of error is of:

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

The confidence interval is:

[tex]\pi \pm M[/tex]

a. What is the point estimate of the population proportion of adults who think the future health of Social Security is a major economic concern.

The sample proportion, that is, 1740 out of n = 2000. So

[tex]\pi = \frac{1740}{2000} = 0.87[/tex]

0.87 is the point estimate.

b. At 90% confidence, what is the margin of error?

90% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.1[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.1}{2} = 0.95[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.645[/tex].

Then the margin of error is of:

[tex]M =  z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]M =  1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.87*0.13}{2000}}[/tex]

[tex]M = 0.0124[/tex]

The margin of error is of 0.0124.

c. Develop a 90% confidence interval for the population proportion of adults who think the future health of Social Security is a major economic concern

[tex]\pi - M = 0.87 - 0.0124 = 0.8576[/tex]

[tex]\pi + M = 0.87 + 0.0124 = 0.8824[/tex]

The 90% confidence interval for the population proportion of adults who think the future health of Social Security is a major economic concern is (0.8576, 0.8824).

d.

95% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.96[/tex].

Then the margin of error is of:

[tex]M =  z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]M =  1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.87*0.13}{2000}}[/tex]

[tex]M = 0.0147[/tex]

The confidence interval will be of:

[tex]\pi - M = 0.87 - 0.0147 = 0.8553[/tex]

[tex]\pi + M = 0.87 + 0.0147 = 0.8847[/tex]

The 95% confidence interval for this population proportion is (0.8553, 0.8847).

If f(x)=x^3−5x^2−2x+24 and (x+2) is a factor, what are the remaining factors?

Factor 1:
Factor 2:
Factor 3:

Answers

Answer:

(x+2), (x-4), (x-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the rational root theorem to get started, then factor the remaining quadratic to find:

x^3 − 5x^2 − 2x + 24 = (x + 2)(x − 4)(x − 3)

Explanation:

Let  f(x) =x^3 − 5x^2 − 2x + 24

By the rational root theorem, any rational zeros of  f(x)  must be expressible in the for p/q for integers p, q with p a divisor of the constant term 24 and q a divisor of the coefficient 1 of the leading term.

That means that the only possible rational zeros are the factors of 24, namely:

± 1, ± 2, ± 3, ± 4, ± 6, ± 12, ± 24

Try each in turn:

f(1) = 1 − 5 − 2 + 24 = 18

f(−1) = −1 − 5 + 2 + 24 = 20

f(2) = 8 − 20 − 4 + 24 = 8

f(−2) = −8 − 20 + 4 + 24 = 0

So  x = −2  is a zero and (x + 2) is a factor.

x^3 − 5x^2 − 2x + 24 = (x + 2)(x^2 − 7x + 12)

We can factor  

x^2 − 7x + 12 by noting that 4 × 3 = 12 and 4 + 3 = 7, so:

x^2 − 7x + 12 = (x − 4)(x − 3)

Putting it all together:

x^3 − 5x^2 − 2x + 24  =  (x + 2)(x − 4)(x − 3)

What is a polynomial?

Polynomials are mathematical expressions involving variables raised with non-negative integers and coefficients(constants who are in multiplication with those variables) and constants with only operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and non-negative exponentiation of variables involved.

Coefficients, variables, operators, constants, terms, expressions, and the equal to sign are some of the components of an equation. The "=" sign and terms on both sides must always be present when writing an equation.

Given data ,

Let the polynomial equation be represented as A

Now , the value of A is

A = 3x² + 8x + 5

On simplifying the equation , we get

The leading coefficient of a polynomial is the coefficient of the term with the highest degree. In this case, the polynomial 3x² + 8x + 5 has a term with degree 2 (the x² term) and the coefficient of that term is 3

Hence , the lead coefficient of this polynomial is 3

Options;

a) 0.111

b) 0.310

c) 0.500

d) 0.900

Answer:

The required probability is 0.9

Option d) 0.900 is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:'

Given the data in the question;

Total number of people in the survey or sample size n = 58

Number of people with college degree who live in 2 or more state = 18

P(2 states or more and college degree) = Number of people with college degree who live in 2 or more state / Total number of people in the survey

P(2 states or more and college degree)  = 18 / 58

Also, Total number of people with college degree = 2 + 18 = 20

so, P( College Degree ) =  Total number of people with college degree / Total number of people in the survey

P( College Degree ) = 20 / 58

Therefore, P(2 state or more | College Degree) will be;

⇒ P(2 states or more and college degree) / P( College Degree )

⇒ ( 18 / 58 ) / ( 20 / 58 )

⇒ ( ( 18 / 58 )58 ) / 20

⇒ (( 18 × 58 ) / 58 ) / 20

⇒ 18 / 20

0.9

Therefore, The required probability is 0.9

Option d) 0.900 is the correct answer.

Just help please need to pass

Answers

Answer: [tex]\frac{1}{10}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find the common denominator

The easiest way to do this is by multiplying the two given denominators, which are 2 and 5.

2 × 5 = 10

So, our common denominator is 10. Then, multiply the numerators of the two fractions by 2 and 5. Here's why:

[tex]\frac{3*2}{5*2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{6}{10}[/tex]         We multiplied the top and bottom by 2 to make sure our new fraction stays equivalent to the original fraction.

Do the same thing for the other one:

[tex]\frac{1*5}{2*5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{5}{10}[/tex]

Finally, subtract the two fractions to find the difference between the two times:

[tex]\frac{6}{10} -\frac{5}{10}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{10}[/tex]

The reason we used the common denominator is because we can only add or subtract fractions if they have the same denominator.

1/10 is the answer:)

You spend some time in the kitchen making sure the recipe is just right for
the cooking show. You spend 2 3/4 hours baking and half of an hour
cleaning up the kitchen. How much time were you in the kitchen?

Answers

Answer: 3¼ hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of hours used in baking = 2¾ hours

Number of hours used in cleaning up the kitchen = ½ hour

Therefore, the time used in the kitchen will be the addition of the time used in baking plus the time used in cleaning the kitchen which will be:

= 2¾ + ½

= 2 3/4 + 2/4

= 2 5/4

= 2 + 1¼

= 3¼ hours

Therefore, 3¼ hours was used in the kitchen.

f(x) = 3√4x
g(x) = 2x + 3
Find ( f/g) (x). Include any restrictions on the domain

Answers

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

To find [tex](\frac{f}{g} )(x)[/tex] you can write the expression as [tex]\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}[/tex]. We can substitute the f(x) and g(x) into the expression to get: [tex]\frac{\sqrt[3]{4x} }{2x+3}[/tex]. Now we need to find the domain. The numerator is fine, and the domain is all real numbers, but in a fraction, the denominator cannot equal 0. We can write:  [tex]2x + 3\neq 0[/tex] and we can solve it:

[tex]2x\neq -3[/tex]

[tex]x\neq -\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

This is the same as option B.

The required function (f/g)(x) is 3√4x/2x+3 where x ≠ -3/2. Option C is correct

Given the functions

f(x) = 3√4x

g(x) = 2x + 3

We are to find the resulting function (f/g)(x)

(f/g)(x) = f(x)/g(x)

(f/g)(x) = 3√4x/2x+3

Restriction to the function occurs at the point where the denominator is zero.

2x = 3 = 0

2x = -3

x = -3/2

Hence the required function (f/g)(x) is 3√4x/2x+3 where x ≠ -3/2
