The answer is:  " 2 :5 " ;  or, write as:  " 2/5 " . 
________________________________________________________
The ratio of 'girls' to 'all students' is:  "2: 5 " ;  or, write as:  " 2/5 ".
________________________________________________________
Explanation:
________________________________________________________
Given:  The ratio of boys to girls is:  " 3:2 " .  

Problem:  Find the ratio of "girls" to "all students:
________________________________________________________
Note:    This ratio of "boys to girls", which is " 3 : 2 " ; 
________________________________________________________
    →  can be expressed as " 3x: 2x"  ;  

in which the total number of students is:  " 3x + 2x " = 5x " .

   → The total number of students is represented as:  " 5x " .  
________________________________________________________
→  The ratio of "girls to boys" is:  "2x : 3x" .

→  {that is;  the "inverse" of the ratio of "boys to girls"} ;  
→  {that is;  the "inverse" of  " 3x: 2x" } ;  →  which is:  " 2x : 3x " .
________________________________________________________ 

The ratio of "girls" to "all students" is:  "2x : 5x "  ;  or " 2x/5x " ; 
                                             → Both "x" values cancel ;  {since: " x/x = 1 "} ; 
_________________________________________________________
       →  and we have the answer:  " 2 :5 " ;  or, write as:  " 2/5 " . 
_________________________________________________________
The ratio of 'girls' to 'all students' is:  " 2 :5 " ;  or, write as:  " 2/5 ".

Tangent line i think please help me find x
Alex

Answer:

x= 6.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

When a tangent line touches the circle, it forms a right angle triangle at that point

Apply the Pythagorean relationship in this case

Given that the height is = 20.2 cm = b

The hypotenuse is = c= x+14.7 cm

General formulae is;

a² +b² =c²

x² + 20.2² =( x+ 14.7)²

x² + 408.04= x² +14.7x+14.7x+216.09

x² + 408.04= x² + 29.4 x +216.09.........................collect like terms

x²-x² + 408.04-216.09= 29.4x

191.95= 29.4x-------------------------------divide by 29.4 t0 get x

191.95/29.4 =x

x=6.5 cm

Exercise 6.13 presents the results of a poll evaluating support for the health care public option in 2009, reporting that 52% of
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

A sample size of 6755 or higher would be appropriate.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

The margin of error M is given by:

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

90% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.1, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.1}{2} = 0.95, so Z = 1.645.

52% of Independents in the sample opposed the public option.

This means that p = 0.52

If we wanted to estimate this number to within 1% with 90% confidence, what would be an appropriate sample size?

Sample size of size n or higher when M = 0.01. So

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

0.01 = 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.52*0.48}{n}}

0.01\sqrt{n} = 0.8218

\sqrt{n} = \frac{0.8218}{0.01}

\sqrt{n} = 82.18

\sqrt{n}^{2} = (82.18)^{2}

n = 6754.2

A sample size of 6755 or higher would be appropriate.
