The margin of error of a given statistic is an amount that is allowed for in case of miscalculation or change of circumstances.
It is usually the radius or half of the width of the confidence interval of that statistic.
Given that a<span>
survey of the students in Lance’s school found that 58% of the
respondents want the school year lengthened, while 42% think it should
remain the same. The margin of error of the survey is ±10%.
This means that 58% </span><span>± 10% of the </span>respondents want the school year lengthened, while 42% <span><span>± 10% think it should
remain the same.</span>
Thus, from 48% to 68% </span><span><span>of the respondents want the school year lengthened, while from 32% to 52% <span>think it should
remain the same.</span> </span>
Therefore, according to
the survey data, at least 32% of students want the duration of the school
year to remain unchanged, and at least 48% want the school year to be
lengthened.</span>
Answer:
The equation of the line is, y = x
Step-by-step explanation:
The constraints of the required linear equation are;
The point through which the line passes = (2, 2)
The line to which the required line is parallel = y = x + 4
Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope, therefore, we have;
The slope of the line, y = x + 4 is m = 1
Therefore, the slope of the required line = 1
The equation of the required lime in point and slope form becomes;
y - 2 = 1 × (x - 2)
∴ y = x - 2 + 2 = x
The equation of the required line is therefore, y = x
Let's eliminate x. To achieve this, mult. the 2nd equation by 2, obtaining
-8x + 2y = 10. Now add this result to the first equation:
8x-2y= -10
-8x + 2y = 10
---------------------
0
The two equations actually represent the same line. Without an x- or a y-value, we cannot solve for the value of the other variable. There are infinitely many solutions.

Answer:
7/9
Step-by-step explanation:
If the chances of an outcome are 2/9, the odds against it can be found by subtracting that from 1.
1 - 2/9
= 7/9
So, the odds against that outcome are 7/9
Answer:
x ∈ (-∞, -1) ∪ (1, ∞)
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem we must factor the expression that is shown in the denominator of the inequality.
So, we have:
So the roots are:
Therefore we can write the expression in the following way:
Now the expression is as follows:
Now we use the study of signs to solve this inequality.
We have 3 roots for the polynomials that make up the expression:
We know that the first two are not allowed because they make the denominator zero.
Observe the attached image.
Note that:
when 
when 
and
is always 
Finally after the study of signs we can reach the conclusion that:
x ∈ (-∞, -1) ∪ (1, 2] ∪ [2, ∞)
This is the same as
x ∈ (-∞, -1) ∪ (1, ∞)
