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% (.

Help wit 19 ASAP WILL MARK BRAINLIST
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

m∠a = 60°

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there,

Before answering this question, you should know that the sum of all the angles in a triangle will always be 180°. Therefore, we can write this equation to find the value of ∠a :

70° + 50° + m∠a = 180°

Solve for m∠a

120° + m∠a = 180°

m∠a = 60°

Hope this answer helps. Cheers.
