Answer:

<u>Marge's</u> present age = 14 ; <u>Dan's</u> present age = 29

Step-by-step explanation:

Present age

Let Marge's present age be = M

Dan's present age [D] : 14 years elder than Marge = M + 14

8 years ago

Marge Age = M - 8

Dan's Age = D - 8 = (M + 14) - 8 = M + 6

{Given} : Dan's age = 3 times Marge's age

M + 6 = 3 (M - 8)

M + 6 = 3M - 24

6 + 24 = 3M - M

30 = 2M

M = 30/2

M = 15 [Marge's present age]

Dan's present age [D] = M + 14 = 29

The truth table represents statements p, q, and r. p q r p ∧ q p ∧ r A T T T T T B T T F T F C T F T F T D T F F F F E F T T F F

maksim [4K]

The table shows the results of (p ^ q) and results of (p ^ r) for all possible outcomes. We have to tell which of the outcomes of union of both these events will always be true.

(p ^ q) V (p ^ r) means Union of (p ^ q) and (p ^ r). The property of Union of two sets/events is that it will be true if either one of the event or both the events are true i.e. there must be atleast one True(T) to make the Union of two sets to be True.

So, (p ^ q) V (p ^ r) will be TRUE, if either one of (p ^ q) and (p ^ r) or both are true. From the given table we can see that only the outcomes A, B and C will result is TRUE. The rest of the outcomes will all result in FALSE.

Therefore, the answer to this question is option 2nd

Answer: a. A point estimate for p is 0.597 .

b. The 95% confidence interval for p.

Lower limit = 0.48

Upper limit = 0.71

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Sample size of professional actors : n= 67

Number of extroverts : x= 40

Let p represent the proportion of all actors who are extroverts.

a. The point estimate for p = sample proportion = $\hat{p}=\dfrac{x}{n}$

$=\dfrac{40}{67}=0.597$

b. Confidence interval for population proportion :

$\hat{p}\pm z^*\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}$

Since the critical value for 95% confidence interval is 1.96 , so the 95% confidence interval for p would be

$0.597\pm (1.96)\sqrt{\dfrac{0.597(1-0.597)}{67}}$

$0.597\pm (1.96)\sqrt{0.0036}$

$0.597\pm (1.96)(0.06)$

$0.597\pm 0.1176$

$(0.597-0.1176,\ 0.597+0.1176)\\\\=(0.4794,\ 0.7146)\\\\\approx(0.48,\ 0.71)$

In the 95% confidence interval for p.

Lower limit = 0.48

Upper limit = 0.71

Why does a calculator return an error when trying to find inverse sine of 1.055?

anyanavicka [17]

Sin(x) is a function bounded between -1 and 1. A value greater than 1 or smaller than -1 (-1.1, for instance) does not correspond to any real angle.

It then returns error
