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

Please do the area and perimeter for both questions! And if u can please explain how! Thank you
KiRa [710]
Question 1 - You need to split the L shape into  2 shapes.

6mm x 2mm = 12mm

and

5mm x 2mm = 10mm

add 12mm and 10mm 
the area is 22mm squared (a little 2 above the mm)

question 2 - you need to do the same

4mm x 2mm = 8mm squared 
7mm x 2mm = 14mm squared
area - 22mm squared

Find the equation of the line.
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

y=-1/3x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

First off, lets outline that parallel lines have the <u>Same Slope</u>. So we can plug in -1/3 as our slope, or m.

Lets plug in -1/3 as our slope in Point Slope form to find the y intercept. Point slope form should be attached in an image below.

1) Plug slope and points into point slope form:

y+1=-1/3(x+3)

2) Distribute -1/3 to x and 3:

y+1=-1/3x-1

3) Subtract 1 from both sides:

y=-1/3x-2

Now we have our answer is slope intercept form!

Please let me know if you have any questions :)

Which step brings you closest to getting the variable alone on one side of the equation
Oliga [24]

Answer:

Adding 5 from both sides then dividing by 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The best way to isolate x is to add 5 to both sides first:

21 = 7x

Then to isolate x by itself divide both sides by 7

x = 3

That would be the value of x and your final answer.
