You would simply do 8 over 20 or 8/20. Think of the fraction symbol as the phrase "out of". 8 out of 20 counters are yellow. To simplify, you find a number you can divide both 8 and 2 by. You can either divide it by the 1st number you know you can (such as 2, but then you may have to divide it multiple times to get it to the simplest form) or find the highest factor to divide by (such as 4). 8 divided by 4 is 2 and 20 divided by 4 is 5. So your answer in simplest form is 2/5.

So there are 8 counters out of 20 which are yellow. so that is 8/20 which is simplified to 2/5

mart [117]

Answer:

With the given margin of error its is possible that candidate A wins and candidate B loses, and it is also possible that candidate B wins and candidate A loses. Therefore, the poll cannot predict the winner and this is why race was too close to call a winner.

Step-by-step explanation:

A group conducted a poll of 2083 likely voters.

The results of poll indicate candidate A would receive 47​% of the popular vote and and candidate B would receive 44​% of the popular vote.

The margin of error was reported to be 3​%

So we are given two proportions;

A = 47%

B = 44%

Margin of Error = 3%

The margin of error shows by how many percentage points the  results can deviate from the real proportion.

Case I:

A = 47% + 3% = 50%

B = 44% - 3% = 41%

Candidate A wins

Case II:

A = 47% - 3% = 44%

B = 44% + 3% = 47%

Candidate B wins

As you can see, with the given margin of error its is possible that candidate A wins and candidate B loses, and it is also possible that candidate B wins and candidate A loses. Therefore, the poll cannot predict the winner and this is why race was too close to call a winner.

I’m confused can someone get me the answer

Angle OPM and Angle LMK

When angles are corresponding, they're essentially on the same side. It's sort of hard to explain, so I'll attach a drawing. The one on the left with the check mark is a corresponding angle, and the one on the right with the X is a same-side angle. Essentially, corresponding angles are on the same side and are also equal, unlike same-side angles, which are supplementary angles.

Let me know if you don't understand my explanation.

Consider two unique parallel lines. what aspects of these two lines are the same? what aspects of these two lines would have to
kramer

If you have edunuity, the answer is... Two parallel lines will have the same slope. The slopes of parallel lines have to be equal. The y-intercepts of those two lines have to be different, otherwise they would be the same line. The x-intercepts of the parallel lines would also be different.
