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)

madreJ [45]
The range of a function is representative of the values on the y-axis. In this case, the graph will contain distance on the y-axis at is the dependent variable, while the independent variable is time.

We know that the minimum value of the distance will be 0, given that there can be no negative distance. Moreover, the maximum value is 26.2 miles, since the marathon will then be over. Therefore, a good range for the situation will be 0-27 miles.

So that means that 9 is multiplying by the SUM (adding) of 13 and a number (n)

Which ordered pair is the best approximation of the exact solution?
tino4ka555 [31]
For this case what you should do is observe the table that the values of y of both functions are as similar as possible.
 We observed that:
 For the x 1.6 coordinate we have:
  y = 1.2

y = 1.4
 Therefore, a good approximation of the solution is:
 \frac{(1.2 + 1.4)}{2} = 1.3 


 The ordered pair solution is:
 (1.6, 1.3)
 Answer:
 
(1.6, 1.3)option A

Write an expression that shows how to multiply 7 x 256 using expanded form and Distributive property.
Mashutka [201]
To multiply any number <span>using expanded form and Distributive property, we need two steps:
1. Write the greater factor in expanded form, and
2. Record partial products by using Distributive property.

Step 1.
</span><span>7 x 256  = 7 x (200 + 50 + 6)
</span>
Step 2. 
7 x (200 + 50 + 6) = 7 x 200 + 7 x 50 + 7 x 6

Hence, the complete expression should look like:
7 x 256  = 7 x (200 + 50 + 6) = 7 x 200 + 7 x 50 + 7 x 6
