Answer:

The proportion is p = 0.399

Step-by-step explanation:

The estimate of a proportion is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

Desired outcomes:

286 people captured, so D = 286.

Total outcomes:

Sample of 716 suspected criminals, so T = 716.

Proportion

p = \frac{286}{716} = 0.399

Here is a triangular pyramid and its net.
galben [10]

Answer:

a) Area of the base of the pyramid = 15.6\ mm^{2}

b) Area of one lateral face = 24\ mm^{2}

c) Lateral Surface Area = 72\ mm^{2}

d) Total Surface Area = 87.6\ mm^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following dimensions of the triangular pyramid:

Side of triangular base = 6mm

Height of triangular base = 5.2mm

Base of lateral face (triangular) = 6mm

Height of lateral face (triangular) = 8mm

a) To find Area of base of pyramid:

We know that it is a triangular pyramid and the base is a equilateral triangle. \text{Area of triangle = } \dfrac{1}{2} \times \text{Base} \times \text{Height} ..... (1)\\

{\Rightarrow \text{Area of pyramid's base = }\dfrac{1}{2} \times 6 \times 5.2\\\Rightarrow 15.6\ mm^{2}

b) To find area of one lateral surface:

Base = 6mm

Height = 8mm

Using equation (1) to find the area:

\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2} \times 8 \times 6\\\Rightarrow 24\ mm^{2}

c) To find the lateral surface area:

We know that there are 3 lateral surfaces with equal height and equal base.

Hence, their areas will also be same. So,

\text{Lateral Surface Area = }3 \times \text{ Area of one lateral surface}\\\Rightarrow 3 \times 24 = 72 mm^{2}

d) To find total surface area:

Total Surface area of the given triangular pyramid will be equal to <em>Lateral Surface Area + Area of base</em>

\Rightarrow 72 + 15.6 \\\Rightarrow 87.6\  mm^{2}

Hence,

a) Area of the base of the pyramid = 15.6\ mm^{2}

b) Area of one lateral face = 24\ mm^{2}

c) Lateral Surface Area = 72\ mm^{2}

d) Total Surface Area = 87.6\ mm^{2}

You are attempting to estimate the number of protester marching through the city
Alenkinab [10]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  1000

Step-by-step explanation:

If the number of protesters per minute remains a constant, then you could write the proportion ...

  p/12 = 177/2.1

Multiplying by 12 gives ...

  p = 12(177/2.1) ≈ 1011.4

Here, minutes are given to 2 significant figures, and the initial count is given to 3 significant figures. The best you can hope for is that your estimate is good to 3 significant figures:

 1010 protesters

It is probably sufficient to report the number to 2 significant figures*:

  1000 protesters

_____

* Unfortunately, with a number like 1000, the only way you can tell it has 2 significant figures is to report it as 1.0×10³ or 10. hundreds. The trailing zeros are usually not considered significant.

PLZ HELP WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST WORTH 10 PTS THX!!
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

  64/49

Step-by-step explanation:

The applicable rules of exponents are ...

  (a^b)^c = a^(bc)

  (a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)

  a^-b = 1/a^b

  a^0 = 1

_____

Using these rules, we can simplify the given expression to ...

  \left(\dfrac{8\cdot 4\cdot 2}{8\cdot 7}\right)^2\times\left(\dfrac{8^0}{7^{-3}}\right)^3\times 7^{-9}\\\\=\dfrac{8^2}{7^2}\times(8^{0\cdot 3}\cdot 7^{3\cdot 3})\times 7^{-9}\\\\=\dfrac{64}{49}\times(8^07^{9-9})=\boxed{\dfrac{64}{49}}
