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)

Given circle X with radius 10 units and chord AB with length 12 units, what is the length of segment CX, which bisects the chord
andrew-mc [135]
Consider the circle with center X, as shown in the figure. 

Draw the diameter of the circle which is parallel to cherd AB, as shown in the figure.

Since the diameter and AB are parallel, then the line segment XC which bisects AB at C, will be perpendicular to AB.

SO triangle XCB is a right triangle. Thus the length of CX, by the Pythagorean theorem is  

\sqrt{ XB^{2}- CB^{2}} = \sqrt{ 10^{2}- CB^{6}}= \sqrt{100-36}= \sqrt{64}=8 units.


Answer: 8 units

What does it mean in context of the example that Alyssa’s rate of change is greater than Sarah’s?
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

Part 1) The rate of change is the amount of money saved by week

Part 2) The amount of money saved weekly by Alyssa is greater than the amount of money saved weekly by Sarah.

Part 3) see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

<u><em>The complete question is</em></u>

Part 1) What does the rate of change in the example represent?

Part 2)  What does it mean in context of the example that Alyssa’s rate of change is greater than Sarah’s?

Part 3) Write ordered pairs for the initial values of each function. Tell what the initial values represent

Part 1) we know that

The rate of change is the slope or unit rate of the linear equation

The formula of slope is "rise over run", where the "rise" (means change in y, up or down) and the "run" (means change in x, left or right)

In this context the rate of change is the amount of money saved by week

Part 2) we know that

Alyssa’s rate of change is equal to $8 per week

Sarah’s rate of change is equal to $6 per week

That means ----> The amount of money saved weekly by Alyssa is greater than the amount of money saved weekly by Sarah.

Part 3) we know that

The initial value or y-intercept is the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero

In this context , the initial value is the amount of money available at the time of beginning to save

so

<em>Sarah's Savings</em>

Looking at the graph

The initial value is the point (0,8)

That means ----> At the beginning (x=0), Sarah already had $8 saved.

<em>Alyssa's Savings</em>

Looking at the graph

The initial value is the point (0,0)

That means ----> At the begin (x=0), Alyssa had nothing saved.

Rounded 6,289,002 to the nearest 1,000,000
kotegsom [21]
<span>6,289,002 rounded to the nearest 1,000,000 is 6,000,000. This is because the number in the hundred thousands column, the one to the right of the first digit, is less than five, so it gets rounded down.</span>
