IgorC [24]

Answer:

The 98% confidence interval would be given by (0.326;0.354)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Notation and definitions

$X=63$ number of people who live within 20 miles of the coast in high hurricane risk counties of eight southern states

$n=6138$ random sample taken

$\hat p=0.34$ estimated proportion of people who live within 20 miles of the coast in high hurricane risk counties of eight southern states

$p$ true population proportion of people who live within 20 miles of the coast in high hurricane risk counties of eight southern states

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The population proportion have the following distribution

$p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})$

2) Confidence interval

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 98% of confidence, our significance level would be given by $\alpha=1-0.98=0.02$ and $\alpha/2 =0.01$ . And the critical value would be given by:

$z_{\alpha/2}=-2.33, z_{1-\alpha/2}=2.33$

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}$

If we replace the values obtained we got:

$0.34 - 2.33\sqrt{\frac{0.34(1-0.34)}{6138}}=0.326$

$0.34 + 2.33\sqrt{\frac{0.34(1-0.34)}{6138}}=0.354$

The 98% confidence interval would be given by (0.326;0.354)

Mustafa, Heloise, and Gia have written more than a combined total of 22 articles for the school newspaper.

Ghella [55]

Answer: The required inequality is $x+\dfrac{1}{4}x+\dfrac{3}{2}x>22.$ and its solution is $x>8.$

Step-by-step explanation: Given that Mustafa, Heloise, and Gia have written more than a combined total of 22 articles for the school newspaper.

Also, Heloise has written $\frac{1}{4}$ as many articles as Mustafa has and Gia has written $\frac{3}{2}$ as many articles as Mustafa has.

We are to write an inequality to determine the number of articles, m, Mustafa could have written for the school newspaper. Also, to solve the inequality.

Since m denotes the number of articles that Mustafa could have written. Then, according to the given information, we have

$x+\dfrac{1}{4}x+\dfrac{3}{2}x>22.$

And the solution of the above inequality is as follows :

$x+\dfrac{1}{4}x+\dfrac{3}{2}x>22\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{4x+x+6x}{4}>22\\\\\\\Rightarrow 11x>88\\\\\Rightarrow x>\dfrac{88}{11}\\\\\Rightarrow x>8.$

Thus, the required inequality is $x+\dfrac{1}{4}x+\dfrac{3}{2}x>22.$ and its solution is $x>8.$

The indicated function y1(x) is a solution of the given differential equation. Use reduction of order or formula (5) in Section

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

y2 = C1xe^(4x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y1 = e^(4x) is a solution to the differential equation

y'' - 8y' + 16y = 0

We want to find the second solution y2 of the equation using the method of reduction of order.

Let

y2 = uy1

Because y2 is a solution to the differential equation, it satisfies

y2'' - 8y2' + 16y2 = 0

y2 = ue^(4x)

y2' = u'e^(4x) + 4ue^(4x)

y2'' = u''e^(4x) + 4u'e^(4x) + 4u'e^(4x) + 16ue^(4x)

= u''e^(4x) + 8u'e^(4x) + 16ue^(4x)

Using these,

y2'' - 8y2' + 16y2 =

[u''e^(4x) + 8u'e^(4x) + 16ue^(4x)] - 8[u'e^(4x) + 4ue^(4x)] + 16ue^(4x) = 0

u''e^(4x) = 0

Let w = u', then w' = u''

w'e^(4x) = 0

w' = 0

Integrating this, we have

w = C1

But w = u'

u' = C1

Integrating again, we have

u = C1x

But y2 = ue^(4x)

y2 = C1xe^(4x)

And this is the second solution
