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% (.

Which number can each term of the equation be multiplied by to eliminate the fractions before solving-3/4m-1/2=2+1/4m
densk [106]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: 4

<h2>Why?</h2>

The smallest whole number we can use to multiply each term in order to eliminate the fractions is 4:

Multiplying each side of the equation by 4, we have:

Multiplying each side of the equation by 4, we have:

(\frac{-3m}{4}-\frac{1}{2})*4=(2+\frac{1}{4})*4\\\\\frac{-12m}{4} - \frac{4}{2} = 8+\frac{4m}{4}\\-3m-2=8+m\\-8-2=m+3m\\4m=-10\\m=\frac{-10}{4}=\frac{-5}{2}\\\\m=\frac{-5}{2}

Have a nice day!

inna [77]

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

y=-7x+13

y=-1

plug in -1 for y in the first problem.

-1=-7x+13

subtract 13 by both sides

-14=-7x

divide both sides by -7 to isolate x

2=x

hope that helped have a good day
