Answer: 453
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the question, we have to calculate the margin of error which will be:
= (61.7% - 52.3%) / 2
= 9.4% / 2
= 4.7%
4.7% = 1 / ✓n
0.047 = 1 / ✓n
✓n = 1 / 0.047
✓n = 21.28
Square both sides to.gwt the value of n
n = 21.28²
n = 452.69
n = 453

Answer:
355,459.33
Step-by-step explanation:
42,655.12/12 = 3554.59
3554.59*100 = 355459.33
The ages are consecutive even numbers.
The youngest child is (x+3) years old.
Every even number is 2 more than the one before it.
So the three ages are
(x + 3), (x + 5), and (x + 7).
Their sum is x+3 + x+5 + x+7 = 3x + 15
But we're told that their sum is 42, so we can write
3x + 15 = 42 <== the equation
Subtract 15 from each side: 3x = 27
Divide each side by 3 : x = 9 <== the solution
So the three ages are 12, 14, and 16.
The oldest child is 16 years old.
