In the ratio, 5 is the max. In the survey, 210 is the max. Now, what times 5 = 210?
You can find that any way you like, though I prefer division.
210÷5 = 42
Therefore, 42 is the number you will multiply by 2 to find you answer.
42×2=84

Based on the ratio 84 people support the act because 210 divided by 5 times 2 is 84

In your own words, explain how to find the incenter and the circumcenter of a triangle and what the Circumcenter Theorem and Inc
LekaFEV [45]

Circumcenter is where three perpendicular bisectors intersect and incenter is where the three angle bisectors intersect.

Way to find them and the theorems are mentioned below.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find Incenter :

Construct angle bisectors of each angle of the triangle and their intersection  point gives the incenter.

To find Circumcenter:

Construct perpendicular bisectors of all sides of triangle and their intersection point gives the circumcenter.

Circumcenter Theorem: It states that the vertices of a triangle are equidistant from the circumcenter.

Incenter Theorem: It states that the incenter is equidistant from the sides of the triangle.

The Information Technology Department at a large university wishes to estimate the proportion of students living in the dormitor
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.05}{1.96})^2}=384.16  

And rounded up we have that n=385

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

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".  

Solution to the problem

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 99% of confidence, our significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.99=0.01 and \alpha/2 =0.005. And the critical value would be given by:

z_{\alpha/2}=-2.58, z_{1-\alpha/2}=2.58

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:  

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}    (a)  

And on this case we have that ME =\pm 0.05 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:  

n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}   (b)  

We can use as an estimator for p \hat p =0.5. And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:

n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.05}{1.96})^2}=384.16  

And rounded up we have that n=385

A field is a rectangle with a perimeter of 1140 feet. The length is 400 feet more than the width. Find the width and length of t
Virty [35]

Answer:

Width= 85

Length= 485

Step-by-step explanation:

The width will be x, and the length will be x + 400, since it is 400 more than the width.

We know that the perimeter of a rectangle can be found using the equation 2w + 2l.

We plug in the values we have found.

2(x) + 2(x+400) = 1140

4x + 800 = 1140

4x = 340

x = 85

Now we know the width, since it is simply x. To find length all we have to do is add 400.

400 + 85 = 485
