Answer:

21.21%

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that proportion of support follows normal distribution.For resulting in defeat the proportion of support should less than 0.5.Given that the proportion of support is p= 0.52.

Sample size(n)= 402

We know that standard deviation is given as

\sigma = \sqrt {\dfrac {p(1-p)}{n}}

Now by putting the values

\sigma = \sqrt {\dfrac{0.52\times 0.48}{402}}

σ=0.0249

Proportion of support follows normal distribution with mean is 0.52 and standard deviation is 0.0249

We know that Z=\dfrac{\bar{X}-\mu }{\sigma }

So

Z=\dfrac{0.5-0.52 }{0.0249}

Z= -0.80

So P(Z<-.80) =0.2118 from standard table.

So the probability of news paper to predict defeat is 21.21%

How do you determine if the following scale factor 4/3 would create an enlargement, reduction, or isometric figure?
lara31 [8.8K]
If the scale factor is greater than one, it will always create an enlargement, so since 4/3= 1 1/3 it’s 1 1/3 the size of the original figure, AKA an enlargement

Use the parabola tool to graph the quadratic function f(x)=−12x2+7. Graph the parabola by first plotting its vertex and then plo
Fudgin [204]
First we find the vertex of parabola f(x)=-12 x^{2} +7

The vertex of parabola is ( \frac{-b}{2a},f( \frac{-b}{2a}))
Here,
b = coefficient of x term
a = coefficient of x² term

For given parabola, b = 0 , a = -12

So,
\frac{-b}{2a}= \frac{0}{-24} =0

And,

f( \frac{-b}{2a} )=f(0) = -12(0)+7=7

Thus the vertex of parabola is (0, 7)

To find another point on parabola, substitute x by 1.

f(1)=-12( 1^{2}) +7=-12+7=-5

So the second point on parabola is (1,-5)

The plot of parabola is shown in image below:

What is the quotient?
Sergio039 [100]

Answer: FIRST OPTION

Step-by-step explanation:

According the quotient of powers property, when you have the division of two powers with the same base, then you must subtract the exponents.

Therefore, keeping the property above on mind, you have that the quotient is the shown below:

\frac{(-7)^2}{(-7)^{-1}}=(-7)^{(2-(-1))}=(-7)^{(2+1)}=(-7)^3=-343
