Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Like terms are terms whose variables (and their exponents) are the same.

$-5x+2y+5x-8y$

We have the terms:

$-5x;\ 2y;\ 5x;\ -8y$

Like terms:

$-5x\ \text{and}\ 5x,\ 2y\ \text{and}\ -8y$

Combine like terms:

$(-5x+5x)+(2y-8y)=0x+(-6y)=-6y$

The sample size of the confidence interval test of a proportion is considered appropriately large if np and n(1 - p) > 5.

<span>Given that Arthur is conducting a study on the preferred study options of students from East County College and that 25% of those surveyed preferred studying abroad. Thus, p = 25% = 0.25 and 1 - 0.25 = 0.75

np = 32(0.25) = 8

n(1 - p) = 32(0.75) = 24

Thus, the sample size is appropriately large.

The margin of error is given by:

</span> $\pm z_{ \alpha /2} \sqrt{ \frac{p(1-p)}{n} }$
<span>
The </span> $z_{ \alpha /2}$ for 95% confidence interval is 1.96

Thus, the margin of error is given by:

$\pm1.96 \sqrt{ \frac{0.25(1-0.25)}{32} } =\pm1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.25(0.75)}{32}} \\ \\ =\pm1.96 \sqrt{ \frac{0.1875}{32} } =\pm1.96 \sqrt{0.005859375} \\ \\ =\pm1.96(0.0765)=\pm0.15$

Therefore, the statement that holds true is "a<span>s the sample size is appropriately large, the margin of error is ±0.15".</span>
