Answer:

  2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

When the number is rounded to two significant figures, the left-most digit will be non-zero, and there will be one more significant digit to the right of it.

Here, we need to round the number to 2 significant figures. Find the third digit from the left. If it is 5 or more (it is), then increase the second digit from the left before removing all digits to the right of it.

  2.456 rounds to 2.5

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

Leading zeros are never significant. Trailing zeros are only significant if the number has a decimal point. Any digits between leading and trailing zeros are significant. All mantissa digits of a number in scientific notation are significant.

When rounding to a specific number of significant digits, as here, the significant digits are counted from the left.

Kim wants to determine a 90 percent confidence interval for the true proportion of high school students in the area who attend t
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

We need a sample of at least 752 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

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

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

The margin of error of the interval is:

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

90% confidence level

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

How large of a sample must she have to get a margin of error less than 0.03

We need a sample of at least n students.

n is found when M = 0.03.

We have no information about the true proportion, so we use \pi = 0.5.

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

0.03 = 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{n}}

0.03\sqrt{n} = 1.645*0.5

\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.645*0.5}{0.03}

(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{1.645*0.5}{0.03})^{2}

n = 751.67

Rounding up

We need a sample of at least 752 students.

Find w please help me
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

w = 77°

Step-by-step explanation:

From the picture attached,

WXYZ is a quadrilateral having 4 interior angles,

m∠y = 90°

Therefore, (2x - 10) = 90°

2x = 90 + 10

2x = 100

x = 50

Now, m∠z = (x + 15)° = 65°

m∠x = (3x - 22)° = 150 - 22

                          = 128°

Sum of interior angles of a polygon = (n - 2)×180°

where n = Number of sides of the polygon

If n = 4,

m∠u + m∠x + m∠y + m∠z = (4 - 2) × 180°

w + 128 + 90 + 65 = 360

w = 360 - 283

w = 77°

Therefore, measure of w = 77°
