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% (.

Kayla went shopping for a new pair of sneakers. The listed price of the pair of sneakers was $20, but the price with tax came to
Nina [5.8K]

Hello!

\large\boxed{9 \%}

To find the percent tax, use the equation:

\text{ \% tax} = \frac{\text{ price after - initial price}}{\text{initial price}}

Substitute in the given values:

\text{ \% tax} = \frac{\text{ 21.80 - 20}}{\text{20}} \\\\\text{ \% tax} = \frac{1.80}{20} = 0.09

Multiply by 100 to find the percent tax:

0.09 * 100 = 9\%

Please someone help me solve this i dpnt know the answer​
kozerog [31]
<h2><u>Answer With Explanation:</u></h2>

<u>Firstly, let's start with <XOZ: =55°</u>

We know that <ZOQ is 70° and angles on a line add up to 180° so we do 180-70=110 110 divided by 2 = 55 so the 2 angles (XOZ & XOP are 55)

<u>Secondly, <OMN, <MON & <ONM = All are 60°</u>

These 2 angles are joined to create an equilateral triangle which always adds up to 180°

So, there are 3 points to this triangle, therefore we divide 180 by 3 which is 60. The angles are 60°

<u>Thirdly, <QON: =55°</u>

This angle lies on the line XON which needs to add up to 180°

As we worked out before, <XOZ was 55°

So, <ZOQ was already given as 70°

We then do 55+70=125 then 180-125=55°

<QON is 55°
