Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula we need to solve this is:

$d_1+d_2=2a$

Where

$d_1$ is the distance from one focus to the vertex

$d_2$ is the second distance from another focus to same vertex

Note: Here, vertex point is the point on top. The common point from which the RED and BLUE line meets the 2 foci

$a$ is half the length of the major axis (which is 9 here since total major axis is given as 18)

Now we can plug into the equation and solve:

$d_1+d_2=2a\\8.5+d_2=2(9)\\8.5+d_2=18\\d_2=18-8.5\\d_2=9.5$

D is the correct answer.

Answer:

7:45

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they both turn red at differnt times, you have to find a multiple to find the time they will be both on

Main St: 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70, 77, 84, 91, 98, 105

Elm St. 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 105

They will both turn on 105 minutes or 1 hour and 45 minutes from 6

6 + 1 hr 45 min = 7:45

To estimate the percentage of a state's voters who support the current

Lady bird [3.3K]

Using the Central Limit Theorem, the percentage that is expected to be the closest to the actual percentage is:

A. The Tribune, at 68%.

<h3>What does the Central Limit Theorem state?</h3>

It states that for a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of sample proportion is approximately normal with mean $\mu = p$ and standard error $s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1 - p)}{n}}$ , as long as $np \geq 10$ and $n(1 - p) \geq 10$ .
