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

How to find x and the equation for it
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:To find the x intercept using the equation of the line, plug in 0 for the y variable and solve for x. You can also use the graph of the line to find the x intercept. Just look on the graph for the point where the line crosses the x-axis, which is the horizontal axis. That point is the x intercept.

Select the linear equation represented in the graph
LiRa [457]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the line in the picture rises 1 unit for every 2 units it moves to the right, it has a slope of 1/2. Also, since it intersects the y axis at (0,3), the y intercept is 3. Therefore, the equation of the line is y=1/2x+3, or answer choice B. Hope this helps!

How do you solve for x?<br> 6x+7=6
skelet666 [1.2K]
<span>6x+7=6

Subtract both sides by 7 
</span>6x+7-7=6-7

6x=-1

Divide both sides by 6 to isolate x 
6x/6=-1/6

x=-1/6
