Answer:

33%

Step-by-step explanation:

In 2003, there were 78.9 thousand jobs in the industry and it increases annually by 2.65 thousand jobs from 2003 to 2013.

Hence, from 2003 to 2013, i.e. 10 years the jobs have increased by (2.65×10) = 26.5 thousand.

Therefore, the percent increase in jobs in the industry from 2003 to 2013 is given by \frac{26.5*100}{78.9} = 33.6 % ≈ 33%. (Answer)

The vertex of this parabola is at (-2,-3). When the x-value is -1, the y-value is -5. What is the coefficient of the squared exp
elena55 [62]

Answer:

Option C is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: vertex of this parabola is at (-2,-3)

To find: coefficient of the squared expression in the parabola’s equation if the x-value is -1, the y-value is -5

Solution:

The equation of parabola is of the form y=a(x-h)^2+k

Here, a is the coefficient of the squared expression in the parabola’s equation.

Put (h,k)=(-2,-3)\,,\,(x,y)=(-1,-5)

-5=a(-1+2)^2-3\\-5+3=a(1)^2\\-2=a\\a=-2

So, the coefficient of the squared expression in the parabola’s equation is -2

In the envelope game, there are two players and two envelopes. One of the envelopes is marked ''player 1 " and the other is mark
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The game tree for k = 5 has been drawn in the uploaded picture below where C stands for continuing and S stands for stopping:

b) Say we were to use backward induction we can clearly observe that stopping is optimal decision for each player in every round. Starting from last round, if player 1 stops he gets $3 otherwise zero if continues. Hence strategy S is optimal there.

Given this, player 2’s payoff to C is $3, while stopping yields $4, so second player will also chooses to stop. To which, player 1’s payoff in k = 3 from C is $1 and her payoff from S is $2, so she stops.

Given that, player 2 would stop in k = 2, which means that player 1 would stop also in k = 1.

The sub game perfect equilibrium is therefore the profile of strategies where both players always stop: (S, S, S) for player 1, and (S, S) for player 2.

c) Irrespective of whether both players would be better off if they could play the game for several rounds, neither can credibly commit to not stopping when given a chance, and so they both end up with small payoffs.

i hope this helps, cheers

Find the simplified quotient. (2x^2 + 5x +3 / x^2 - 3x -4) / (4x^2 + 2x - 6 / x^2 - 8x + 16)
irinina [24]

ANSWER

\frac{x - 4}{2x - 2}

EXPLANATION

The given expression is;

\frac{2 {x}^{2}  + 5x + 3}{ {x}^{2}  - 3x - 4}  \div  \frac{4 {x}^{2}  + 2x - 6}{ {x}^{2}  - 8x + 16}

We factor to obtain;

\frac{(x + 1)(2x + 3)}{(x - 4)(x + 1)}  \div  \frac{2(x - 1)(2x + 3)}{(x - 4)(x - 4)}

Multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction

\frac{(x + 1)(2x + 3)}{(x - 4)(x + 1)}  \times \frac{(x - 4)(x - 4)}{2(x - 1)(2x + 3)}

Cancel out common factors to get,

\frac{1}{1}  \times \frac{(x - 4)}{2(x - 1)}

\frac{x - 4}{2x - 2}

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

We can claim with 95% confidence that the proportion of executives that prefer trucks is between 19.2% and 32.8%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a sample of executives, of size n=160, and the proportion that prefer trucks is 26%.

We have to calculate a 95% confidence interval for the proportion.

The sample proportion is p=0.26.

 

The standard error of the proportion is:

\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.26*0.74}{160}}\\\\\\ \sigma_p=\sqrt{0.0012}=0.0347

The critical z-value for a 95% confidence interval is z=1.96.

The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:

MOE=z\cdot \sigma_p=1.96 \cdot 0.0347=0.068

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

LL=p-z \cdot \sigma_p = 0.26-0.068=0.192\\\\UL=p+z \cdot \sigma_p = 0.26+0.068=0.328

The 95% confidence interval for the population proportion is (0.192, 0.328).

We can claim with 95% confidence that the proportion of executives that prefer trucks is between 19.2% and 32.8%.

Find a line that lies entirely in the set defined by the equation x2 + y2 − z2 = 1.
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

x=1\,,\,y=t\,,\,z=t

Step-by-step explanation:

A line is a one-dimensional figure that has no thickness and extends infinitely in both directions.

A line segment is a line that has two end-points and a ray is a line that has one end-point.

Given equation is x^2+y^2-z^2=1

To find : a line that lies entirely in the set defined by the given equation.

Solution:

Take x=1\,,\,y=t\,,\,z=t

Check:

L.H.S=1^2+t^2-t^2=1+0=1=R.H.S

Therefore, x=1\,,\,y=t\,,\,z=t satisfy the given equation.
