Answer:

0.48

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Mean = 17 hours

Standard deviation = 6 hours

n = population size =600

To Find: what is the margin of error for a 95% confidence interval?

Solution:

n= 600

$\sigma = 6$

z = 1.96 for a 95 % confidence interval;

Margin of error formula:

$ME=\frac{z \times \sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

Substitute the values

$ME=\frac{1.96 \times 6}{\sqrt{600}}$

$ME=0.48$

Hence the margin of error for a 95% confidence interval is 0.48

Find the difference in simplest form for 3/5-1/7

morpeh [17]

Answer: 0.457

multiply 3 by 7, and get 21

multiply 1 by 5, and get 5.

5 × 7 = 35.

fraction: 21/35 and 5/35

Subtract the numerators

21 − 5 = 16 = 16/35

Now we need to simplify the fraction that we have.

17 is larger than 16. So we're done reducing numbers.

<em>Our final answer: </em> $16/35$ <em />

Hope this helps!

I am joyous to assist anytime.

PLs help 50 PTS!!!!! PLEASE ILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!!!!

Answer:

$\large\boxed{y=\dfrac{1}{4}x^2-x-4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form:

$y=a(x-h)^2+k$

<em>(h, k)</em><em> - vertex</em>

The focus is

$\left(h,\ k+\dfrac{1}{4a}\right)$

We have the vertex (2, -5) and the focus (2, -4).

Calculate the value of <em>a</em> using $k+\dfrac{1}{4a}$

<em>k = -5</em>

$-5+\dfrac{1}{4a}=-4$ <em>add 5 to both sides</em>

$\dfrac{1}{4a}=1$ <em>multiply both sides by 4</em>

$4\!\!\!\!\diagup^1\cdot\dfrac{1}{4\!\!\!\!\diagup_1a}=4$

$\dfrac{1}{a}=4\to a=\dfrac{1}{4}$

Substitute

$a=\dfrac{1}{4},\ h=2,\ k=-5$

to the vertex form of an equation of a parabola:

$y=\dfrac{1}{4}(x-2)^2-5$

The standard form:

$y=ax^2+bx+c$

Convert using

$(a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2$

$y=\dfrac{1}{4}(x^2-2(x)(2)+2^2)-5\\\\y=\dfrac{1}{4}(x^2-4x+4)-5$

<em>use the distributive property: a(b+c)=ab+ac</em>

$y=\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)(x^2)+\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)(-4x)+\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)(4)-5\\\\y=\dfrac{1}{4}x^2-x+1-5\\\\y=\dfrac{1}{4}x^2-x-4$

Point P is the center of the circle below. What is the exact area

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

$Area =192\pi$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\theta = 120^o$

$r =24$

Required

The area of the shaded sector

This is calculated as:

$Area =\frac{\theta}{360} * \pi r^2$

This gives

$Area =\frac{!20}{360} * \pi *24^2$

$Area =\frac{1}{3} * \pi *576$

$Area =\pi *192$

$Area =192\pi$
