Answer:

case a) The approximate circumference of circle is $5.9\ units$ and the ratio of circumference to Diameter is $\frac{C}{D}=2.95$

case b) The approximate circumference of circle is $6\ units$ and the ratio of circumference to Diameter is $\frac{C}{D}=3$

case c) The approximate circumference of circle is $6.24\ units$ and the ratio of circumference to Diameter is $\frac{C}{D}=3.12$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The approximate circumference of each circle, is equal to the perimeter of each inscribed polygon

case A) the figure is an inscribed pentagon

step 1

Find the approximate circumference of circle

The perimeter of the pentagon is equal to

$P=5s$

where

$s=1.18\ units$

substitute

$P=5(1.18)=5.9\ units$

therefore

The approximate circumference of circle is $5.9\ units$

step 2

Find the ratio of circumference to Diameter

we know that

The radius is half the diameter so

$D=2r=2(1)=2\ units$

The ratio is equal to

$\frac{C}{D}=5.9/2=2.95$

case B) the figure is an inscribed hexagon

step 1

Find the approximate circumference of circle

The perimeter of the hexagon is equal to

$P=6s$

where

$s=1\ units$

substitute

$P=6(1)=6\ units$

therefore

The approximate circumference of circle is $6\ units$

step 2

Find the ratio of circumference to Diameter

we know that

The radius is half the diameter so

$D=2r=2(1)=2\ units$

The ratio is equal to

$\frac{C}{D}=6/2=3$

case C) the figure is an inscribed dodecahedron

step 1

Find the approximate circumference of circle

The perimeter of the dodecahedron is equal to

$P=12s$

where

$s=0.52\ units$

substitute

$P=12(0.52)=6.24\ units$

therefore

The approximate circumference of circle is $6.24\ units$

step 2

Find the ratio of circumference to Diameter

we know that

The radius is half the diameter so

$D=2r=2(1)=2\ units$

The ratio is equal to

$\frac{C}{D}=6.24/2=3.12$

<em>Conclusion</em>

We know that

The exact value of the ratio $\frac{C}{D}$ is equal to

$\frac{\pi D}{D}=\pi$

The approximate value of the circumference will be closer to the real one when the number of sides of the inscribed polygon is greater

A researcher surveyed 220 residents of a city about the number of hours they

olga55 [171]

Answer:

Margin of error of 0.0485 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our $\alpha$ level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

$\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.025$

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of $1 - \alpha$ .

That is z with a pvalue of $1 - 0.025 = 0.975$ , so Z = 1.96.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

In this question:

$\sigma = 0.35, n = 220$

The margin of error is of:

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$M = 1.96\frac{0.35}{\sqrt{200}}$

$M = 0.0485$

Margin of error of 0.0485 hours.

Answer:

the answer is 10°

Step-by-step explanation:

110 + 60 = 170°

so we left with the 10° to complete it 180°

What proportion of families own as opposed to rent their home? To find out, an urban planner selected a random

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

A suitable estimate of all families who own their home is 42%.

Step-by-step explanation:

42% reported that they own their home.

This means that the sample proportion is of 42%. So that an estimate for the percentage of all families who own their home is of 42%., and that the first option is correct.
