a. The population for the study is a total of 1000 adults, so the 50% that favored the plan made up a total of 500 people, since 500 is 1/2 (or 50%) of 1000. 
b. The percentage provided is an inferential statistic. Inferential statistics are made by taking a sample of a population and using that sample as data used to make inferences/predictions. Since the percentage provided is a sample of a population being used to make a prediction, it is an inferential statistic.

Answer:
The new area is 1800feet^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Step one:
Given data
The length and width or a rectangular courtyard is 40 feet and 30 feet
we can calculate the area of the courtyard as
Area= 40*30
Area= 1200 feet^2
when the extra 15 feet is added to the width
the new width is= 30+15= 45feet
The new area is 
Area= 40*45
Area= 1800 feet^2
in all the area will increase by 1800-1200= 600feet
 
        
             
        
        
        
It opens upward when X is an even power. It would be for X squared or X raised to the 4th power.
 
        
        
        
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
33769/181
Discussion:
Each term contains "x" so factoring it out gives
x( 1/4 + 1/14 + 1/17)  = 71       (*)
Use common factor (17*14*4  = 952) as the denominator to combine terms:
1/4 =  (17*14)/ 952  = 238/952
1/14 = (17*4)/952 = 68/952
1/17 = (14*4)/952  = 56/952
so 1/4 + 1/14 + 1/17 =    (238 + 68 + 56)/ 952 =  362/952 = 181/476
Substituting in (*) gives
x ( 181/476)  = 71                       => multiply both sides by 476/181
x = (71 * 476)/181                       => 71* 476 =33769
x = 33769/181
Thank you,
