Answer:

Margin of error at 90% is 0.024

Margin of error at 99% is 0.037

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample size = 1076

A poll found that 64% of a random sample of 1076 adults said they believe in ghosts.

So, No. of adults said they believe ghosts = \frac{64}{100} \times 1076=688.64\sim 688

So, x = 688

n = 1076

\widehat{p} = \frac{x}{n}

\widehat{p} = \frac{688}{1076}

\widehat{p} = 0.639

ME=z \times \sqrt{\frac{\widehat{p}(1-\widehat{p})}{n}}

z at 90% confidence is 1.64

ME=1.64 \times \sqrt{\frac{0.639(1-0.639)}{1076}}

ME=0.024

So, margin of error at 90% is 0.024

Find the margin of error needed to be 99% confident.

z at 99% confidence is 2.58

ME=2.58 \times \sqrt{\frac{0.639(1-0.639)}{1076}}

ME=0.024

So, margin of error at 99% is 0.037

The area of the rectangle is 20 square inches. The rectangle is enlarged by a factor of 6.
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are told that the rectangle is enlarged by a factor of 6, we now want to calculate the new area of the said rectangle.

Now, for the rectangle to have an area of 20, mathematically the area of a triangle can be calculated using the formula L * B

where L is the length and B is the breadth

our product here is 20, so any product that gives 20 would be a good fit as the value of the width and length of the rectangle

So, let’s say the sides measure 5 inches by 4 inches

Enlarging these by a factor of 6, we have 30 inches by 24 inches

The new area of the rectangle would thus be ;

30 inches * 24 inches = 720 inches^2

Which of the following points are on the line given by the equation y equals 2x?
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

(5,10)

(3,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation y=2x means that 2 multiplied by the first value would equal the second value, so this means that the second value is twice as much as the first value.  This is not true for the first option because 8 is not twice of 16, and this is the same for (4,6), (4,2), and (1,3).  Therefore (5,10) and (3,6) work.
