of the 193 males in the sample smoke while 16 of the 169 females in the sample smoke.

Answer:

So, we conclude that the best estimate for the difference in the proportion of smokers is 4.4%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 27 of the 193 males in the sample smoke while 16 of the 169 females in the sample smoke.  

We have the following proportion:

27:x=193:100\%\\\\193x=27\cdot 100\\\\193x=2700\\\\x=\frac{2700}{193}\\\\x=13.9\%

So we get that 13.9% of men smoke.

We have the following proportion:

16:x=169:100\%\\\\169x=16\cdot 100\\\\169x=1600\\\\x=\frac{1600}{169}\\\\x=9.5\%

So we get that 9.5% of women smoke.

We get: 13.9%-9.5%=4.4%.

So, we conclude that the best estimate for the difference in the proportion of smokers is 4.4%.

You unfold chicken wire to make a circular pen. The area of the pen is 78.5 square meters. How many meters of chicken wire do yo
Lelu [443]
Circular pen means you are going to use Area = Pi(r^2). 

So 78.5 = pi(r^2). Divide by pi on both sides to get r^2 = 78.5/pi. Take the square root of that to get r or radius = approximately 4.99. If you need an exact answer then use \sqrt{ \frac{78.5}{ \pi } } for the next part because you are not done yet.

Plug whatever R you use into the circumference formula of Circumference = 2(pi)(r).

If you use 4.99, you do 2(pi)(4.99) which is approximately 31.35. If you use the exact answer, you do 2(pi)(\sqrt{ \frac{78.5}{ \pi} }) which gives you approximately 31.41. 

Either way you'll need about 31 meters of chicken wire but the 31.40796 or ~31.41 is closer to the exact answer.

Shiloh has to earn at least $200 to meet her fundraising goal. She has only 100 cakes that she plans to sell at 5 dollars each.
kakasveta [241]
Here is the inequality you can enumerate:

5x >= 200, this means the money you sold for cakes must be larger or equal to your goal

x <= 100, this means you cannot sell more than 100 cakes, because you only have 100 cakes

Solve for them, you will get: 40 <= x <= 100
