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%

A regular octagon with side length a cm can be made by cutting off
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

one side = \frac{a\sqrt{2}}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

if you draw an octagon on a piece of paper, you can draw a square around it, you should be able to see a diagram of this attached, ignore the 6.

Let's say TP = a

since it's a regular octagon, TP = HT

and using the Pythagoras Theorem,  we know a² + b² = c² and thus:

√(AT² + HA²) = HT

and since AT = HA which we will call x, the equation becomes:

√(2x²) = HT = a

rearrange the equation to solve for x and you get:

2x² = a²

x² = \frac{a^{2} }{2}

x = \frac{a}{\sqrt{2}}

which, if you rationalise the denominator, you get:

x = \frac{a\sqrt{2}}{2}

Find the circumference of the circle. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.
NikAS [45]

Answer:

c.132

Step-by-step explanation:

so we are given the diameter which is 42m **the diameter is the straight line that passes through the middle of the circle**

but in order to find the circumference we need to find the radius **the radius is always half (1/2,0.5) of the diameter**

so we have to divide 42/2 which equals 21

now we need to set up the formula;

c=2πr/c=2xπxr  **when unknown variables such as 'r' are next to another mathematical numeral such as the pi symbol you don't really have to but the multiplication symbol between them**

c=2π21

=131.946891451

and in your case, it seems we must round to the tenths place so the nine then "becomes a ten" and you're left with 132

good luck :)

i hope this helps

have a good one !!
