Legalization of marijuana, Part I. The 2010 General Social Survey asked 1,578 US res- idents: \Do you think the use of marijuana

mixer [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Sample statistics are used to estimate population value. Since 48% is a sample proportion, therefore, it is a sample statistic.

b) For 95% confidence level, z* = 1.96.

\hat{p}\pm z^* \sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}= 0.61\pm 0.61\sqrt{\frac{0.61(1-0.61)}{1578}}=0.61\pm 0.024 \ or (0.586, 0.634).

We are 95% confident that the true proportion of US residents who think marijuana should be made legal lies between 58.6% and 63.4%.

c)

\\np=1578(0.61)=962.58

\\n(1-p)=1578(1-0.61)=615.42

Since both np and n(1-p), are at least 10, the normal model is a good approximation for these data.

d) As the lower limit of confidence interval is less than 0.5, less than 50% population is also a plausible value of true proportion. This means the statement "Majority of Americans think marijuana should be legalized" is not justified.

The function g(x) = 5x2 – 10x written in vertex form is g(x) = 5(x – 1)2 – 5. The function g(x) is shown on the graph along with

natka813 [3]

The general vertex form of the a quadratic function is y = (x - h)^2 + k. In this form, the vertex is (h,k) and the axis of symmetry is x = h. Then, you only need to compare the vertex form of g(x) with the general vertex form of the parabole to conclude the vertex point and the axis of symmetry. g(x) = 5(x-1)^2 - 5 => h = 1 and k = - 5 => theis vertex = (1, -5), and the axis of symmetry is the straight line x = 1. <span>Answer: the vertex is (1,-5) and the symmetry axis is x = 1.</span>

Suppose you were exploring the hypothesis that there is a relationship between parents’ and children’s party identification. Wou

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

No

It could be purely due to chance.

Step-by-step explanation:

A population is defined as the whole group which has the same characteristics. For example a population of the college belongs to the same college . But a sample may be an element of a population.

So it is not necessary for a population to have the same characteristics as the sample.

But it is essential for the sample to have at least one same characteristics as the population.

So we would not be correct in inferring that such a relationship also exists in the population.

It is a hypothesis which can be true or false due to certain conditions or limitations as the case maybe.

For example in a population of smokers some may be in the habit of taking cocaine. But a sample of cocaine users does not mean the whole population uses it.

It could be purely due to chance if we find out that there is a relationship between parents’ and children’s party identification in the population.

You have a budget of $48. You want to buy fruit and granola bars. Fruit costs $4 per pound, and the granola bars are $1 each. Yo

zzz [600]

1)Define the variables you will use in your model.

Let

x------->total pounds of the fruit

y-------> the total number of granola bars

TC----> total cost

Tf------> total cost of the fruit

Tg----> total cost of the granola bars

2) Write an inequality representing the total cost of your purchase. (3 points)

a. Each pound of fruit costs $4. Write an expression that shows the total cost of the fruit. Use the variable you identified in question 1

Tf=4*x

b. Each granola bar costs $1. Write an expression that shows the total cost of the granola bars. Use the variable you identified in question 1.

Tg=1*y--------> Tg=y

c. Combine the expressions from parts a and b to write an expression for the total cost. Then use this expression to write an inequality that compares the total cost with the amount you have to spend.

TC=Tf+Tg

TC=4*x+y

inequality-------> $4x+y \leq 48$

3. Write the inequality that models the number of granola bars you need to buy.

You need at least 10 granola bars

so

$y\geq 10$

4. Describe in words what each of your inequalities means

inequality 1

$4x+y \leq 48$

the total cost of fruits plus the total cost of granola bars must be less than or equal to 48 dollars

inequality 2

$y\geq 10$

5. Graph your system of inequalities.

using a graph tool

see the attached figure

6. Identify one point on the graph that represents a viable solution to the problem, and then identify one point that does not represent a viable solution.

Let

A-------> one point on the graph that represents a viable solution

B-------> one point on the graph that does not represent a viable solution

A(4,20)

x=4-------> total pounds of the fruit

y=20------> the total number of granola bars

check point A

substitute the values of x and y in the inequality 1

$4x+y \leq 48$

$4*4+20\leq 48\\ 36\leq 48$ -------> is ok
