These two triangles are similar. What are a and b? Note: the two figures are not drawn to scale. Please help with this!!!
sesenic [268]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • a = 6
  • b = 22.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of smallest sides in the two triangles is ...

  smaller / larger = 4/10

To find A and B, we write proportions involving corresponding side lengths.

__

Side A in the smaller triangle is ...

  A/15 = 4/10

  A = (4/10)(15) = 6

__

The ratio of larger to smaller is the inverse of the above ratio, so ...

  B/9 = 10/4

  B = (10/4)(9) = 22.5

A polling agency wanted to test whether a ballot measure would pass with greater than 50% yes votes. The agency sampled 1,000 re
stepladder [879]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The margin of error represents the amount of percentage points that the real value can differ from the value given in the sample. The margin of error is ±3%, meaning that 50.6 (the sample value) ± 3% is the margin of error, resulting in a range of (47.6, 53.6) as our margin of error. Anything in that range can be the true proportion of voters that would vote for the ballot measure. As the range contains value both less than and greater than the 50% needed to pass, it is impossible to say, given the data, that the voters will vote yes or no to the ballot.
