Answer:

45 and 135

Step-by-step explanation:

If angles, with measurements a and b, are supplementary, then a and b have sum 180 degrees.

So we have the following equation so far:

a+b=180

Now we also have that one angle has a measurement that is 1/3 the value of the one.

So we also have 3a=b which means we are letting the angle whose measurement be a have 1/3 the value of b.

So lets plug the second equation into first giving us:

a+3a=180

Add like terms:

4a=180

Divide both sides by 4:

a=180/4

a=45

So b=3a=3(45)=135.

So the angles in question have measurement s 45 and 135.

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the proportion of parents that are satisfied with their children's education is (0.4118, 0.4618). 0.5 is not part of the confidence interval, so this represents evidence that parents' attitudes toward the quality of education have changed.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to see if 50% = 0.5 is part of the confidence interval.

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $1-\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.
