Answer:

The confidence Interval = (0.329, 0.391)

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for the Confidence Interval for proportion =

p ± z × √p(1 - p)/n

where

p = x/n

From the question

n = 900 people

x = 36% of 900 people

= 36/100 × 900

= 324

z = z score of 95% confidence Interval

z = 1.98

p = x/n

= 324/900

= 0.36

Confidence Interval = p ± z × √p(1 - p)/n

= 0.36 ± 1.96 × √0.36 (1 - 0.36)/900

= 0.36 ± 1.96 ×√0.36 (0.64)/900

= 0.36 ± 1.96 × √0.000256

= 0.36 ± 1.96 × 0.016

= 0.36 ± 0.03136

Confidence Interval = 0.36 ± 0.03136

= 0.36 - 0.03136

= 0.32864

Approximately to 3 decimal places = 0.329

= 0.36 + 0.03136

= 0.39136

Approximately to 3 decimal places = 0.391

Therefore, the 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of people who believe the governor broke campaign financing laws = (0.329, 0.391)

Darnell uses 1 1/4 packages of bread to make 10 bracelets. He make 25 bracelets how packages of breads will he use
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

3 1/8 packages of beads

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Darnell uses 1 1/4 packages of beads to make 10 bracelets. In order to find how many packages of beads he'll need for 25 bracelets, we set up a proportion:

\frac{1\frac{1}{4} }{10} =\frac{x}{25}, where x is the number of packages needed

Cross-multiply:

25 * 1 1/4 = 10x

1 1/4 is just 1.25 in decimal form, so:

25 * 1.25 = 10x

31.25 = 10x

x = 3.125 = 3 1/8

So, Darnell will use 3 1/8 packages of beads.

Solve the system.
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

{x,y,z} = {-18,4,2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve equation [2] for the variable  x  

x = -10y + 2z + 18

Plug this in for variable  x  in equation [1]

(-10y+2z+18) + 9y + z = 20

- y + 3z = 2

Plug this in for variable  x  in equation [3]

 3•(-10y+2z+18) + 27y + 2z = 58

   - 3y + 8z = 4

Solve equation [1] for the variable  y  

 y = 3z - 2

Plug this in for variable  y  in equation [3]

  - 3•(3z-2) + 8z = 4

   - z = -2

Solve equation [3] for the variable  z  

 z = 2

By now we know this much :

 x = -10y+2z+18

   y = 3z-2

   z = 2

Use the  z  value to solve for  y  

 y = 3(2)-2 = 4

Use the  y  and  z  values to solve for  x  

 x = -10(4)+2(2)+18 = -18

Determine the measure of angle A. PLEASE HELP PLEASE.
kogti [31]

First we find the value of x. This is quite simple as it's a right angled triangle with one of the angles already given. The main concept is vertically opposite angles meaning if 2 lines intersect, the opposite 2 angles are equal.

So the angle 55x - 1 is for the interior of the triangle too. Now due to angle sum postulate, 36x + 55x -1 + 90 = 180

Simplify this and you get: 91x = 91

Hence, x = 1

Now, we need to find the value of angle A which is 36x which is basically 36 * 1 when we replace x with 1.

Henceforth, angle A is equal to 36 so option C is correct. :D

Gianna's family took a road trip. Gianna slept through the last 44% of the trip. If Gianna fell asleep after they had travelled
Nitella [24]

Answer:

500 miles

Explanation: 100-44 is 56, so 280 is equal to 56% of the trip. 280/56 is equal to 5. Therefore 5 is 1%, so if we multiply the 5 x 100 there we go, that's 100% of the trip. Not how your teacher told you to do it, but its the right answer.
