<h3>Answer: 9</h3>

===================================================

Explanation:

The area of the parallelogram is equal to the base times height. The formula to use is A = b*h. The height and base are always perpendicular to one another.

The base is some unknown variable b. Multiply the base by the height 15 to get 15*b which is equal to the area 135

Therefore, 15*b = 135

Divide both sides by 15 and we isolate b

15b = 135

15b/15 = 135/15

b = 9

So the base is 9

Check:

area = base*height = 9*15 = 135

so the answer is confirmed

side note: we never use the value 17 at all. It is likely put in there as a distraction.

Answer:

$\mu_{p}=p=0.81$

Step-by-step explanation:

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The population proportion have the following distribution

$p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})$

So under the null hypothesis the mean for the population proportion is p

$\mu_{p}=p=0.81$

And the standard deviationis given by:

$\sigma_{p}=\sqrt{\frac{p_0(1-p_o)}{n}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.81(1-0.81)}{1000}}=0.0124$
