Answer:
The requirements for the hypothesis test does satisfied the method for testing the claim that from two population proportions the rate of polio is less for children given the salk vaccine.
Step-by-step explanation:
The percentage of children in the treatment group was:
(201229/401974)*100 = 49.9%
The percentage of children given placebo was:
(200745/401974)*100 = 50.1%
The percentage of children that developed polio in the treatment group:
(33/200745)*100 = 0.0164%
The percentage of children that developed polio in the placebo group:
(115/201229)*100 = 0.0571%
The percentage difference between the two group:
((0.0571-0.0164)/0.0571) = 61.62%
Therefore:
The amount of children used for each group was almost divided into half of the total amount of children. The test revealed although very small percentages of the both group developed polio, 68.62% more children given placebo than the children that was given the salk vaccine. Therefore, the study shows that the rate of polio is less for children given the salk vaccine and the the hypthesis test is satisfied.
Problem 215
Check out the attached image. Line up the letters ABC and CDE so the first set of letters are over the second set of letters. Order is important here. Note how A corresponds to C (second C), B corresponds to D, and (the first) C corresponds to E.
We have this mapping:
A <--> C
B <--> D
C <--> E
This means...
Angle BAC corresponds to Angle DCE (red angles)
Angle ABC corresponds to Angle CDE (blue angles)
Angle BCA corresponds to Angle DEC (green angles)
It also means...
Side BC corresponds to Side DE (red sides)
Side AC corresponds to Side CE (blue sides)
Side AB corresponds to Side CD (green sides)
Check out the attached image which I hope clears up any confusion you may have. Often I think it helps to represent stuff like this in a visual way.

Problem 216
Answer: True
Since triangle ABC is congruent to triangle DEF, this means that side AB is congruent to side ED. These are corresponding sides. Since AB = 6, this means ED = 6 as well.
The answer is going to be x=7
