The confidence interval would be (0.122, 0.278).

We first find our z-score.  We want a 95% confidence interval:

0.95/2 = 0.475

Looking this up in the z-table, (http://www.statisticshowto.com/tables/z-table/) we see the z-score is 1.96.

The formula we will use is:

p \pm z\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}

In this problem, p = 20/100 = 0.2, and n=100:

0.2 \pm 1.96\sqrt{\frac{(0.2)(0.8)}{100}}
\\
\\0.2\pm 0.0784
\\
\\(0.2-0.0784, 0.2+0.0784)
\\
\\(0.1216,0.2784)

ΔABC is dilated using a scale factor of 12 to produce ΔA'B'C'. Select all of the statements that apply to the transformation.
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Options (3) and (6)

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔABC is a dilated using a scale factor of \frac{1}{2} to produce image triangle ΔA'B'C'.

Since, dilation is a rigid transformation,

Angles of both the triangles will be unchanged or congruent.

m∠A = m∠A' and m∠B = m∠B'

Since, sides of ΔA'B'C' = \frac{1}{2} of the sides of ΔABC

Area of ΔA'B'C' = \frac{1}{2}(\text{Area of triangle ABC})

Area of ΔABC > Area of ΔA'B'C'

Since, angles of ΔABC and ΔA'B'C' are congruent, both the triangles will be similar.

ΔABC ~ ΔA'B'C'

Therefore, Option (3) and Option (6) are the correct options.

If m□ebd=4x-8 and m□ebc=5x+20,find the value of x and m□ebc
RoseWind [281]

m□ebd=4 x-8 and m□ebc=5 x+20

This is solvable only if e b is the initial side and b d and b c lies on opposite side of each other and lies on a line i.e c,b,d are Collinear.

∠ebd and ∠ebc will form a linear pair.The meaning of linear pair is that angles forming on one side of a straight line through a common vertex which are adjacent is 180°.

i.e

∠ ebd + ∠ebc = 180°

4 x- 8 + 5x + 20= 180°

adding like terms

⇒ 9 x +12 =180°

⇒ 9 x = 180° - 12

⇒ 9 x = 168°

⇒ x =( 168/9)°=(56/3)°

now  m□ebc =5 x +20

       = 5 × 56/3 + 20

       = 280/3 + 20

      =340/3

m□ebc=( 340/3)°

So, solution set is x =(56/3)° and  m□ebc =(340/3)°

The growth of a species of fish in a lake can be modeled by the function ƒ(x) = 500(1.10)x, where x is time in months since Janu
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

f(x) = 500(1.1)^x

And we want to know what repreent the value 500 for this equation. If we see the general expression for an exponential function we have:

y= ab^x

Where a is the constant or the initial amount, b te base and x the independnet variable (time)

For this special  case we know that:

a = 500, b =1.1

And 500 represent the constant or initial value for the function

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following function given:

f(x) = 500(1.1)^x

And we want to know what repreent the value 500 for this equation. If we see the general expression for an exponential function we have:

y= ab^x

Where a is the constant or the initial amount, b te base and x the independnet variable (time)

a = 500, b =1.1

And 500 represent the constant or initial value for the function

A local museum charges $25 per adult and $12 per child for admission fees. At the end of a day, the museum made $9,014 in total
Natali [406]

Answer:

There were 172 guests that were children and 278 guests that were adults

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: State what is known

It is $25 per adult

It is $12 per child

The made $9014 dollars

There were 450 guests

Step 2: Define equations

25y + 12x = 9014 -----1

x + y = 450 ------------2

Step 3: Rearrange equation 2 for x

x + y = 450

x = 450 - y --------------3

Step 4: Substitute 3 into 1 for y and solve for y

25y + 12(450 - y) = 9014

25y + 5400 - 12y = 9014

13y = 3614

y = 3614/13

y = 278

Step 5: Substitute y = 278 into 3 to solve for x

x = 450 - (278)

x = 172

Therefore 172 children and 278 adults visited the museum
