A first-time bungee jumper is about to make his first jump. When the bungee jumper jumps, he will fall 5 feet every 0.5 second.

Describe the transformation f(x) = √x + 1 − 5 in words. The parent function f(x) = √x has been shifted 1 unit and 5 units.

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

The translation is $1$ unit to the left and $5$ units down

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$g(x)=\sqrt{x+1}-5$

$f(x)=\sqrt{x}$ -----> parent function

we know that

The transformation

f(x)-----> g(x) has the following rule

$(x,y)-------> (x-1,y-5)$

That means

The translation is $1$ unit to the left and $5$ units down

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

6 tractors take 10days to collect the harvest. How long would it take 18 tractors to do the same amount of work?

Nutka1998 [239]

This is a question of proportionality. However, it is not direct proportionality as it is expected that as the number of tractors increases, the work is finished faster as opposed to fewer number of tractors. This is referred to as inverse proportionality.

Therefore;
6 tractors ----- 10 days
18 tractors --- x days

Then,
x = (6*10)/18 = 10/3 days = 3 days, and 8 hours.

This means that 18 tractors will take 3 days and 8 hours to collect the same harvest.

Complete the statements for the graph of f(x) = |x|. The domain of the function is . The range of the function is . The graph is

ioda

Answer:

Domain of f(x): All real numbers

Range of f(x): $f(x) \geq0$ ---> [0, ∞)

The graph is over the interval (0, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

The function absolute value of x that is written: f(x) = | x | assigns only positive values to f(x) at any value of x.

For example, if for f(x) = | x | we make

f(-23) = | -23 | then the absolute value of x "transforms" the number -23 to +23.

Then f(-23) = | -23 | = 23

This means that f(x) will be positive for any value of x.

Therefore, we can conclude that:

Domain of f(x): All real numbers

Range of f(x): $f(x) \geq0$ ---> [0, ∞)

The graph is over the interval (0, ∞)

A pharmaceutical company proposes a new drug treatment for alleviating symptoms of PMS (premenstrual syndrome). In the first sta

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

95% confidence interval for p, the true proportion of all women who will find success with this new treatment is [0.238 , 0.762].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a pharmaceutical company proposes a new drug treatment for alleviating symptoms of PMS (premenstrual syndrome).

In the first stages of a clinical trial, it was successful for 7 out of the 14 women.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for 95% confidence interval for the true proportion is given by;

P.Q. = $\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\hat p$ = sample proportion of women who find success with this new treatment = $\frac{7}{14}$ = 0.50

n = sample of women = 14

Here for constructing 95% confidence interval we have used One-sample z proportion statistics.

So, 95% confidence interval for the true proportion, p is ;

P(-1.96 < N(0,1) < 1.96) = 0.95 {As the critical value of z at 2.5%

level of significance are -1.96 & 1.96}

P(-1.96 < $\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ < 1.96) = 0.95

P( $-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ < ${\hat p-p}$ < $1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ) = 0.95

P( $\hat p-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ < p < $\hat p+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ) = 0.95

95% confidence interval for p = [ $\hat p-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ , $\hat p+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ]

= [ $0.50-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.50(1-0.50)}{14} } }$ , $0.50+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.50(1-0.50)}{14} } }$ ]
