Public opinion in the large city of Bedrock is that 60 percent of the residents are in favor of increasing taxes to fund alterna
uysha [10]

Answer: 0.8461

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p be the proportion of residents are against the increase of taxes to fund alternatives to drug addiction treatment.

As per given , we have p=0.40

A random sample is taken with size : n= 400

Expecting sample proportion : \hat{p}=\dfrac{150}{400}=0.375

Now , the probability that more than 150 of the residents surveyed will be against increasing taxes if a random sample of 400 residents are surveyed will be :

P(p>0.375)=P(\dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}>\dfrac{0.375-0.40}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.40(0.60)}{400}}})

=P(z>\dfrac{0.375-0.40}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.40(0.60)}{400}}})\ \ [\because\ z=\dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}]

=P(z>-1.02)=P(z-z)=P(Z

\approx0.8461  [By z-table]

Hence, the approximate probability that more than 150 of the residents surveyed will be against increasing taxes if a random sample of 400 residents are surveyed is 0.8461 .

14.12 = 1/2 (3.6x - 12.8)<br><br> show work
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

x = 11.4

Step-by-step explanation:

14.12 = \frac{1}{2} ( 3.6x - 12.8 )

Rewrite so that the equation is entirely in decimals;

14.12 = 0.5( 3.6x - 12.8 )

Distribute;

14.12 = 1.8x - 6.4

Inverse operations;

14.12 = 1.8x - 6.4

+6.4            +6.4

20.52 = 1.8x

/1.8        /1.8

11.4 = x

A rectangle and a square have the same area. The width of the rectangle is 2 in less than the side of the square and the length
lina2011 [118]
The area of a rectangle is A=LW, the area of a square is A=S^2.

W=S-2 and L=2S-3

And we are told that the areas of each figure are the same.

S^2=LW, using L and W found above we have:

S^2=(2S-3)(S-2)  perform indicated multiplication on right side

S^2=2S^2-4S-3S+6  combine like terms on right side

S^2=2S^2-7S+6  subtract S^2 from both sides

S^2-7S+6=0  factor:

S^2-S-6S+6=0

S(S-1)-6(S-1)=0

(S-6)(S-1)=0, since W=S-2, and W>0, S>2 so:

S=6 is the only valid value for S.  Now we can find the dimensions of the rectangle...

W=S-2 and L=2S-3  given that S=6 in

W=4 in and L=9 in

So the width of the rectangle is 4 inches and the length of the rectangle is 9 inches.

Your friend shows you a coin collection. In it 45/50 of the coins are quarters. what percent of the coins are quarters?
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

90% of them are quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you take 50 and multiply it by two, you get 100. But, in order to get the right number, you have to multiply 45 by two as well. 45 x 2 is 90. 90 out of 100 is 90 percent. So 90% is the answer.
