Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

a) 272 used at least one prescription​ medication.

b) The 90% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of adults aged 57 through 85 years who use at least one prescription medication is (85.6%, 87.6%).

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

86.6% out of 3149, so:

0.866*3149 = 2727.

272 used at least one prescription​ medication.

Question b:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

For this problem, we have that:

[tex]n = 3149, \pi = 0.866[/tex]

90% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.1[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.1}{2} = 0.95[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.645[/tex].  

The lower limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.866 - 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.866*0.134}{3149}} = 0.856[/tex]

The upper limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.866 + 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.866*0.134}{3149}} = 0.876[/tex]

For the percentage:

0.856*100% = 85.6%

0.876*100% = 87.6%.

The 90% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of adults aged 57 through 85 years who use at least one prescription medication is (85.6%, 87.6%).

The number of subjects in the study who used at least one prescription medication is 2727 approx. The needed 90% confidence interval is:  [0.8560, 0.8758] or in percentage as: 85.6% to 87.58%

Suppose that we have:

Then, we get:

[tex]CI = \hat{p} \pm Z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}[/tex]

where [tex]Z_{\alpha/2}[/tex] is the critical value of Z at specified level of significance and is obtainable from its critical value table(available online or in some books)

For this case, we have:

Part (a):

The number of subjects used at least one prescription​ medication is:

[tex]\dfrac{3149}{100} \times 86.6 \approx 2727[/tex]

Thus, the sample proportion we get is:

[tex]\hat{p} = \dfrac{2727}{3149} \approx 0.8659[/tex]

For level of significance 0.10, we get: [tex]Z_{\alpha/2} = 1.645[/tex]

Thus, the confidence interval needed is:

[tex]CI = \hat{p} \pm Z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}\\CI \approx 0.8659\pm 1.645 \times \sqrt{\dfrac{0.8659(1-0.8659)}{3149}}\\\\\\CI \approx 0.8659 \pm 0.0099[/tex]

Thus, CI is [0.8659 - 0.0099, 0.8659 + 0.0099] = [0.8560, 0.8758]

Thus, the number of subjects in the study who used at least one prescription medication is 2727 approx. The needed 90% confidence interval is:  [0.8560, 0.8758] or in percentage as: 85.6% to 87.58%

Answer:

1) The length of [tex]DC[/tex] is 20.

2) The length of [tex]PS[/tex] is 17.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) If [tex]DR = RE[/tex] and [tex]CS = SB[/tex], then we can use the following proportionality ratio:

[tex]\frac{DE}{DR} = \frac{32 - x}{26 - x}[/tex] (1)

Where [tex]x[/tex] is the length of segment [tex]\overline{CD}[/tex].

If [tex]DE = 2\cdot DR[/tex], then the value of [tex]x[/tex] is:

[tex]2 = \frac{32-x}{26-x}[/tex]

[tex]52 - 2\cdot x = 32 - x[/tex]

[tex]20 = x[/tex]

The length of [tex]DC[/tex] is 20.

2) If [tex]QV = VP[/tex] and [tex]RW = WS[/tex], then we can use the following proportionality ratio:

[tex]\frac{QP}{QV} = \frac{x-7}{12-7}[/tex] (2)

Where [tex]x[/tex] is the length of segment [tex]\overline{PS}[/tex].

If [tex]QP = 2\cdot QV[/tex], then the value of [tex]x[/tex] is:

[tex]2 = \frac{x-7}{5}[/tex]

[tex]10 = x-7[/tex]

[tex]x = 17[/tex]

The length of [tex]PS[/tex] is 17.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The rectangle has 4 corners of 90 degrees.

Here a rectangle is divided into two right triangles. In right-angled triangles, the opposite side at a 30-degree angle is half a chord...I replace x instead of length.. So x / 2 = 4--->x:8

The perimeter of a rectangle is equal to (length + width) × 2--->(8+4)×2=24m^2

Answer:

[tex]\text{(D) }16\sqrt{3}\:\mathrm{m^2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

In all 30-60-90 triangles, the sides are in ratio [tex]x:2x:x\sqrt{3}[/tex], where [tex]x[/tex] is the side opposite to the 30 degree angle and [tex]2x[/tex] is the hypotenuse of the triangle.

The rectangle shown forms two 30-60-90 triangles. The side labelled 4 meters is opposite to the 30 degree angle. Therefore, the side on top must be [tex]x\sqrt{3}\text{ for }x=4[/tex]. Let the length of the top base be [tex]w[/tex]:

[tex]w=4\sqrt{3}[/tex]

The area of a rectangle with length [tex]l[/tex] and width [tex]w[/tex] is given by [tex]A=lw[/tex]. Thus, the area of the rectangle is:

[tex]A=4\cdot 4\sqrt{3},\\A=\boxed{16\sqrt{3}\:\mathrm{m^2}}[/tex]

Answer:

-0.301

Step-by-step explanation:

Correct Question :-

If log 2 = 0.301 , find log 0.5

Solution :-

We are here given that the value of log 5 is 0.699 . Here the base of log is 10 .

[tex]\rm\implies log_{10}2= 0.301 [/tex]

And we are supposed to find out the value of log 0.5 . We can write it as ,

[tex]\rm\implies log_{10}(0.5) = log _{10}\bigg( \dfrac{5}{10}\bigg)[/tex]

Simplify ,

[tex]\rm\implies log _{10}\bigg( \dfrac{1}{2}\bigg)[/tex]

This can be written as ,

[tex]\rm\implies log_{10} ( 2^{-1})[/tex]

Use property of log ,

[tex]\rm\implies -1 \times log_{10}2 [/tex]

Put the value of log 2 ,

[tex]\rm\implies -1 \times 0.301 =\boxed{\blue{-0.301}} [/tex]

Hence the value of log (0.5) is -0.301 .

*Note -

Here here there was no use of log 5 in the calculation .

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Solve for x

Since there are two parallel lines and one perpendicular line through the middle, that means that all of the angles are equal.  Therefore, we can make an equation 21x + 6 = 90 and solve for x

[tex]21x + 6 - 6 = 90 - 6[/tex]

[tex]21x / 21 = 84 / 21[/tex]

Answer:

The height above sea level at B is approximately 1,604.25 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The given length of the mountain railway, AB = 864 m

The angle at which the railway rises to the horizontal, θ = 120°

The elevation of the train above sea level at A, h₁ = 856 m

The height above sea level of the train when it reaches B, h₂, is found as follows;

Change in height across the railway, Δh = AB × sin(θ)

∴ Δh = 864 m × sin(120°) ≈ 748.25 m

Δh = h₂ - h₁

h₂ = Δh + h₁

∴ h₂ ≈ 856 m + 748.25 m = 1,604.25 m

The height above sea level of the train when it reaches B ≈ 1,604.25 m

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf y= 6x+5}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the slope-intercept equation of a line. Slope-intercept form is one way to write the equation of a line. It is:

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

We are given a point (-1, -1) and the line is parallel to the line y= 6x-2. Since the line is parallel to the other line, they have the same slope, which is 6. We have a point and a slope, so we should use the point-slope formula to find the equation of the line.

[tex]y-y_1= m (x-x_1)[/tex]

Here, m is the slope and (x₁, y₁) is the point. We know the slope is 6 and the point is (-1, -1). Therefore:

Substitute the values into the formula.

[tex]y- -1 = 6(x- -1) \\y+1= 6(x+1)[/tex]

Distribute the 6. Multiply each value inside the parentheses by 6.

[tex]y+1 = (6*x)+ (6*1) \\y+1= 6x+6[/tex]

Slope-intercept form requires y to be isolated. 1 is being added to y. The inverse of addition is subtraction. Subtract 1 from both sides.

[tex]y+1-1=6x+6-1 \\y= 6x+5[/tex]

The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is y=6x+5

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is 4.

Once you add 4, you get:

x^2 -2x + 4 = 7.

There is your perfect square.

Answer:

Kristi will pay $22.77 for the shirt.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, determine the sales price of the shirt. If the full price is $27.99, a 25% reduction is $7. Subtract the discount from the full price to get a sales price of $20.99 for the shirt.

Next, determine the amount of tax Kristi will pay for the shirt. In her state, the sales tax is 8.5% (0.085). Multiply $20.99 by 0.085 and you will see that the sales tax is $1.78. Add the amount of the tax, $1.78, to the sales price of the shirt, $20.99, and you will get $22.77 as the cost of the shirt after the sales tax is added.
