Answer:

option 2nd is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a right angled triangle having right angle at B.

So, we can use pythagoras theorem which is:

$hypotenuse^2=side^2+side^2$ (1)

hypotenuse is the longest side.

which is 10 here,.

And x and y are other two sides

Substituting the values in formula in (1) we get:

$10^2=x^2+y^2$

$100=x^2+y^2$

$\Rightarrow \sqrt{100-y^2}=x$

Therefore, option 2nd is correct.

Using the Pythagorean theorem you would find X by taking the square root of the base squared (Y^2) subtracted from the hypotenuse squared ( 10^2 = 100)

The equation would be x = √100-y^2

The second answer is the correct one.

We need to find out how many adults must the brand manager survey in order to be 90% confident that his estimate is within five percentage points of the true population percentage.

From the given data we know that our confidence level is 90%. From Standard Normal Table we know that the critical level at 90% confidence level is 1.645. In other words, $Z_{Critical}=1.645$ .

We also know that E=5% or E=0.05

Also, since, $\hat{p}$ is not given, we will assume that $\hat{p}$ =0.5. This is because, the formula that we use will have $\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})$ in the expression and that will be maximum only when $\hat{p}$ =0.5. (For any other value of $\hat{p}$ , we will get a value less than 0.25. For example if, $\hat{p}$ is 0.4, then $1-\hat{p}=0.6$ and thus, $\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})=0.24$ .).
