A news agency publishes results of a recent poll. It reports that candidate A leads candidate B by 10% because 45% of the poll p

articipants supported Ms. A whereas only 35% supported Mr. B. What margin of error should be reported for each of the listed estimates, 10%, 35%, and 45%? Notice that 900 people participated in the poll, and the reported margins of error typically correspond to 95% confidence intervals.

We need to use the formula to find Margin of Error but through the sample proportion, that is

E=z*\sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}

We will use a 95% confidence interval, that is a z value of 1.96 (Search in a Normal distribution table)

A) For A our \hat{p} (proportion) is equal to 0.45. So applying the formula,

E=1.96*\sqrt{\frac{0.45(1-0.45)}{900}}

E=3.25\%

B) We make the same of point A, but change our proportion to 0.35

E=1.96*\sqrt{\frac{0.35(1-0.35)}{900}}

E=3.116\%

c) We need to calculate the SE through proportion for 0.1, that is

SE = \sqrt{(\frac{\hat{p_1}(1-\hat{p_1})}{n})+(\frac{\hat{p_2}(1-\hat{p_2})}{n})}

Then our Error is given by,

E=z*SE

E=1.96*\sqrt(0.45*\frac{0.55}{900}+0.35\frac{0.65}{900}

E=0.045

If Rachel were to paint her living room alone, it would take 2 hours. Her sister Fran could do the job in 5 hours. How many hour
snow_tiger [21]

Rachel and her sister Fran together can paint the living room in \frac{10}{7} hours

Given that

Rachel can paint half of the living room in 1 hour

Fran can paint \frac{1}{5}th part of the living room in 1 hour

Let's assume together they paint the living room in x hours

⇒ together they can paint \frac{1}{x}th part of the living room in 1 hour

By proportions,

⇒\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{5}= \frac{1}{x} {using operation proportions and addition}

⇒\frac{7}{10}=\frac{1}{x}

⇒x=\frac{10}{7}        

⇒ together they can paint \frac{7}{10}th part of the living room in 1 hour

It means, Rachel and her sister Fran together can paint the living room in \frac{10}{7} hours

The triangles are similar. If QR = 9, QP = 6, and TU = 19, find TS. Round to the nearest tenth.
Feliz [49]
QR=9
QP=6
TU=19
TS=?
Okay so the triangles are kindred, now the equation can be made
9/16=6/x
So now we are going to cross multiply
9x=114
Now divide both sides by
912 2/3
Your answer is:
TS=12.6
