In politics, marketing, etc. We often want to estimate a percentage or proportion p. One calculation in statistical polling is t

he margin of error - the largest (reasonble) error that the poll could have. For example, a poll result of 72% with a margin of error of 4% indicates that p is most likely to be between 68% and 76% (72% minus 4% to 72% plus 4%). In a (made-up) poll, the proportion of people who like dark chocolate more than milk chocolate was 32% with a margin of error of 2.2%. Describe the conclusion about p using an absolute value inequality.

Answer: |p-72% |≤ 4%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p be the population proportion.

The absolute inequality about p using an absolute value inequality.:

|p-\hat{p}| \leq E , where E = margin of error, \hat{p} = sample proportion

Given:  A poll result of 72% with a margin of error of 4% indicates that p is most likely to be between 68% and 76% .

|p-72% |≤ 4%

⇒    72% - 4% ≤ p ≤ 72% +4%

⇒  68%  ≤ p ≤  76%.

i.e. p is most likely to be between 68% and 76% (.

The ordered pairs (1,6), (,25), (3,36), (4,49) and (5, 64) represent a function. what is a rule that represents this function?
vodka [1.7K]
I believe this is a function. I am not sure because one of the pairs only has a y value.
But the rule is there can only be one x value for one y value so for example, you can have (3.7) and (3,9) and the same for the y values.

Genrish500 [490]
Check whether it is possible to have a triangle with the given side lengths for example 7,9,13 then add any two sides and see if it is greater than the other side. Example the sum of 7 and 9 is 16 and 16 is greater than 13
