A news reporter wants to estimate the percentage of registered voters who will vote for a particular candidate in an upcoming election. Which statement describes a method that will help him accurately estimate this percentage?

Answer: In order to estimate the percentage of registered voters who will vote for a particular candidate in an upcoming election, a news reporter can randomly take a sample from the registered list of voters and based on their opinion a reporter can accurately estimate percentage of registered voters who will vote for a particular candidate in an upcoming election. Therefore, the option C will be correct.

Therefore the correct method is C) He could take a random sample of registered voters, and then calculate the percentage of the sample who will vote for the particular candidate.

The other options to gather the opinion about the percentage of the sample who will vote for the particular candidate are non probabilistic and there is every possibility of introduction of bias in the estimate. The only option which is probabilistic is option c because it involves random selection of respondents. Therefore the appropriate option is c.

1. A wooden box is to be built so that it measures 156 cm by 122 cm by 95 cm.
NeX [460]

The amount of plywood needed to build the garbage bin is the surface area. Therefore, the amount of plywood needed is 90884 cm².

<h3>How to find the surface area of a rectangular prism</h3>

The wooden box is a rectangular prism. The amount of plywood used to construct the wooden box is the surface area of the box.

Therefore,

surface area of rectangular prism = 2(lw + lh + hw)

where

  • l = length
  • w = width
  • h = height

l = 156 cm

w = 122 cm

h = 95 cm

surface area of rectangular prism = 2((156 × 122) + (156 × 95) + (122 × 95))

surface area of rectangular prism = 2(19032 + 14820 + 11590)

surface area of rectangular prism = 2(45442)

surface area of rectangular prism = 90884 cm²

How do you factorize p2 + 2p - 3 =0
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

Solution

p = {-3, 1}

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

p2 + 2p + -3 = 0

Reorder the terms:

-3 + 2p + p2 = 0

Solving

-3 + 2p + p2 = 0

Solving for variable 'p'.

Factor a trinomial.

(-3 + -1p)(1 + -1p) = 0

Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-3 + -1p)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying

-3 + -1p = 0

Solving

-3 + -1p = 0

Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '3' to each side of the equation.

-3 + 3 + -1p = 0 + 3

Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0

0 + -1p = 0 + 3

-1p = 0 + 3

Combine like terms: 0 + 3 = 3

-1p = 3

Divide each side by '-1'.

p = -3

Simplifying

p = -3

Subproblem 2

Set the factor '(1 + -1p)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying

1 + -1p = 0

Solving

1 + -1p = 0

Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.

1 + -1 + -1p = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0

0 + -1p = 0 + -1

-1p = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1

-1p = -1

Divide each side by '-1'.

p = 1

Simplifying

p = 1

Solution

p = {-3, 1}
