Each piece is x inches long. If she cut 5 inches from x, then it's now x-5 inches long.

This is equal to 3 inches (given) so equate the two expressions and isolate x

x-5 = 3
x-5+5 = 3+5
x = 8

Each piece is 8 inches long. There are 3 pieces. Therefore the original ribbon was 24 inches long (8*3 = 24).

Find the distance between M(-1,-10) and P(-12,-3) * Round to the nearest tenth.
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

13.0 units

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance between two points, we use the formula

d = sqrt( (y2-y1)^2+ (x2-x1)^2)

   sqrt((-3--10)^2 + (-12--1)^2)

   sqrt( (-3+10)^2 + (-12+1)^2)

   sqrt( (7^2  + (-11)^2)

  sqrt( 49+121)

  sqrt( 170)

13.038

Rounding to the nearest tenth

A music buff wants to estimate the percentage of students at a midwestern university who believe that elvis is still alive. how

Since we are not given any information about the proportion, we will assume the sample proportion to be 0.50

so,
p = 0.50
The Error is 10% percentage point. This means that on either side of the population proportion the error is 5% so E = 0.05
z = 1.645 (Z value for 90% confidence interval)

The margin of error for population proportion is calculated as:

E=z* \sqrt{ \frac{p(1-p)}{n} }  \\  \\ 
 \frac{E}{z} = \sqrt{ \frac{p(1-p)}{n} }  \\  \\ 
( \frac{E}{z} )^{2}= \frac{p(1-p)}{n} \\  \\ 
n= p(1-p)* (\frac{z}{E})^{2}  \\  \\ 
n=271

This means 271 students should be included in the sample
