Answer: To determine Rocco´s weight jake must use this expression

  • p = 55 - 0.5 w

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi to solve this problem we have to analyze the information given:

  • Rocco´s initial weight: 55 pounds
  • Pounds lost per week: 0.5 pounds  

So, we have to write an equation where p is Rocco's weight after w weeks.

Each week Rocco will lose 0.5 pounds so the expression is 0.5w, where w is the number of weeks.

Mathematically speaking:

  • p = 55 - 0.5 w

By replacing w by the number of weeks, Jake will obtain Rocco´s weight.

For example, if the number of weeks is 20:

p= 55-0.5x 10

p= 55 - 20

p= 35

After 20 weeks Rocco will lose 10 pounds.

otez555 [7]

Answer: (0.132132, 0.274368)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A simple random sample of 123 people living in Gastown and finds that 25 have an annual income that is below the poverty line.

i.e. n= 123

\hat{p}=\dfrac{25}{123}\approx0.203252

Critical value for 95% confidence interval : z_{\alpha/2}=1.96

Confidence interval for population :

\hat{p}\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}

i.e. 0.203252\pm (1.96)\sqrt{\dfrac{0.203252(1-0.203252)}{123}}

0.203252\pm (1.96)\sqrt{\dfrac{0.203252(1-0.203252)}{123}}\\\\\0.203252\pm0.071118\\\\=(0.20325-0.071118,\ 0.203252+0.071118)\\\\=(0.132132,\ 0.274368)

Hence, the 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of Gastown residents living below the poverty line : (0.132132, 0.274368)

Last year Boris paid £256 for his car insurance.
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

The percentage increase in the cost of Boris car insurance cost is 249%

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we want to calculate the percentage increase in the cost of car insurance paid by Boris

Mathematically, to calculate this percentage increase, we shall need to make use of a mathematical formula.

Mathematically, the percentage increase would be;

{(new value paid-old value paid)/old value paid} * 100%

From the question, we can identify that the old value paid is £256 while the new value paid is £894

Thus, the percentage increase would be ;

(894-256)/256 * 100% = 638/256 * 100 = 2.4921875 * 100 = 249.21875 which is 249% increase to the nearest whole percentage
