Suppose that out of 10,351 convicts who escaped from u. s. prisons, only 7767 were recaptured. let p represent the proportion of all escaped convicts who will eventually be recaptured. find a point estimate for p. round your answer to four decimal places.

0.7504

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p represent the proportion of all escaped convicts who will eventually be recaptured.

Given : Out of 10,351 convicts who escaped from U.S. prisons, only 7767 were recaptured.

Then , the proportion of convicts who escaped from U.S. prisons, only 7767 were recaptured will be :-

Hence, the point estimate for p = 0.7504

x =±sqrt(1/3)

step-by-step explanation:

x+4/6x=1/x

multiply each side by 6x to get rid of the fractions

6x*(x+4/6x)=1/x*6x

distribute

6x^2 +4 = 6

subtract 4 from each side

6x^2 +4-4 = 6-4

6x^2 =2

divide by 6

6x^2/6 = 2/6

x^2 = 1/3

take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = ±sqrt(1/3)

x =±sqrt(1/3)
