Answer:

Add 2

Step-by-step explanation:

When distributing, pay attention to the negatives both inside and outside the parentheses. Imagine a 1 directly after the second negative symbol in the equation:

-5-1(-2)

Don't subtract 1 from 5! Instead multiply -1 by -2 (you're distributing, remember?)

A negative multiplied by another negative equals a positive!

-5+2

-5+2=-3

Art [367]

Answer: 0.813

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the event describes the number of residents believed that the amount of violent television programming had increased over the past 10 years.

& B be the event describes the number of residents believed that the amount of violent television programming had decreased over the past 10 years.

Given : n(A)=721   ;  n(B)=454  ;  n(A∩B)=362

We know that ,

n(A\cup B)=n(A)+n(B)-n(A\cap B)

i.e. n(A\cup B)=721+454-362=813

Also, the total number of U.S. residents surveyed n(S)= 1,000

Then, the  proportion of the 1,000 U.S. residents believed that either the amount of violent programming had increased or the overall quality of programming had decreased over the past 10 years will be :-

P(A\cup B)=\dfrac{n(A\cup B)}{n(S)}=\dfrac{813}{1000}=0.813

Hence, the required answer = 0.813

g In a survey of 500 residents, 300 were opposed to the use of the photo-cop for issuing traffic tickets.The standard error of t
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

Z-score 1.96

Margin of error d= 0.04323

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The study variable in this case is

X: Number of people that oppose the use of photo-cop for issuing traffic tickets in a sample of 500.

n= 500

The parameter of interest is the proportion of people that opposes it.

The estimated proportion is p'= 300/500= 0.6

To estimate the population proportion per Confidence interval you have to approximate the distribution of the sample proportion p' to normal:

p'≈N(p;p(1-p)1/n)

The mean of this distribution is p and the variance is p*(1-p)*1/n

To construct the Confidence interval, since the value of the population proportion is unknown, an estimated variance is used:

p'(1-p')*1/n ⇒ then the estimated standard error is √(p'(1-p')*1/n)

The formula for the confidence interval is:

p' ± Z_{1-\alpha /2} * \sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} }

Where "Z_{1-\alpha /2} * \sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} }" represents the margin of error of the interval.

Now for a confidence level of 0.95 the value of Z is Z_{0.975}= 1.965

The estimated standard error is already calculated: \sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} } = 0.022

The margin of error (d) is then:

d= Z_{1-\alpha /2} * \sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} }= 1.965 * 0.022

d= 0.04323

I hope it helps!

Jackie bought a 3-pack of tubes of glue. She used 0.27 ounce of the glue from the 3-pack
adell [148]

This question is not correct because one of its options was not written correctly.

Correct question:

Jackie bought a 3-pack of tubes of glue. She used 0.27 ounce of the glue from the 3-pack

and had 1.35 ounces left in total. Which describes a way to determine the number of ounces

sold in each tube of glue?

a) Solve for x in the equation 3x - 0.27 = 1.35.

b) Divide 1.35 by 3 and then subtract 0.27 from the quotient.

c) Subtract 0.27 from 1.35 and the divide the difference by 3.

d) Solve for w in the equation 3 (x - 0.27) = 1.35.

Answer:

a) Solve for x in the equation 3x - 0.27 = 1.35.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that 0.27 ounces of glue was sold from a 3 pack glue and we have 1.35 ounces of glue left in total.

The first step would be represent the 3 pack of glue as 3x where x represents each pack of the glue.

Therefore, mathematically, we have the Algebraic equation:

3x - 0.27 = 1.35..... Equation 1

This is because when we solve for x, we would be able to find the number of ounces sold in each tube.

Solving for x in the equation 3x - 0.27 = 1.35.

3x - 0.27 = 1.35.

3x = 1.35 + 0.27

3x = 1.62 ...... Equation 2

3x = The three pack tube containing the glue.

Where x represents each of the tubes.

This means, the three pack tube contained 1.62 ounces of glue.

To find out he amount of glue sold from each pack, we go back to our equation 2

3x = 1.62

x = 1.62 ÷ 3

x = 0.54 ounces.

This means from each tubes, 0.54 ounces of glue was sold.

Therefore, Option a) "Solve for x in the equation 3x - 0.27 = 1.35" is correct.
