Answer = 72°

Complementary angles always add up to be 90.
We can write the smaller angle as x and the bigger angle as 4x, because it is 4 times bigger than x.

x + 4x = 90
5x = 90
x = 18.

This proves the smaller angle, or angle B, is 18. We know angle A is 4 times as big as 18, so we can multiply 18 x 4 to get 72.

Double check = 72 + 18 = 90

Find the total number of dogs by adding each day:

Total dogs = 23

Percent of dogs: Divide the number of dogs by the total number of patients:

= 23 / 50 = 0.46 x 100 = 46%

Use the given formula to find the standard error:

Standard error = √(0.46*(1-0.46)/50) = 0.07

90%: Find Z value for 90% ( 1.645) multiply by SE:

1.645 x 0.07 = 0.115 = 0.12

Now add and subtract that value from the Percent from above:

46 + 12 = 58%

46-12 = 34%

Answer (34%, 58%)

95%: Find Z value for 95% ( 1.96) multiply by SE:

1.96 x 0.07 = 0.137 = 0.14

Now add and subtract that value from the Percent from above:

46 + 14 = 60%

46-14 = 32%

Answer (32%, 60%)
