A magazine provided results from a poll of 500 adults who were asked to identify their favorite pie. Among the 500 ​respondents,
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

The statement that​ "the margin of error was given as \pm5 percentage​ points" means that the population proportion is estimated to be with a certain level of confidence, within the interval \hat{p} \pm 0.05 ; where \hat{p}[tex] is the sample's proportion. The correct answer is C. The statement indicates that the interval [tex]0.14\pm0.05 is likely to contain the true population percentage of people that prefer chocolate pie.

Step-by-step explanation:

The margin of error for proportions is given by the following formula:

z_{\alpha /2}\times\sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}\times(1-\hat{p})}{n}}

Where:

z_{\alpha /2} is the critical value that corresponds to the confidence level; the confidence level being 1-\alpha,

\hat{p} is the sample's proportion of successes,

n is the size of the sample.

In this exercise we have that \hat{p}=0.14 and that the margin of error is 0.05.

Therefore if we replace in the formula to calculate the confidence interval we get:

\hat{p}\pm 0.05=0.14\pm0.05=(0.09, 0.19)

Which means that the true population proportion is estimated to be, with a certain confidence level, within the interval (0.09, 0.19).

Given: circle k(O), m∠P=95°, m∠J=110°, m∠LK=125°<br> Find: m∠PJ
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

The measure of the arc PJ is 75\°

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the measure of angle L

we know that

In a inscribed quadrilateral opposite angles are supplementary

so

m

we have

m

substitute

m

m

step 2

Find the measure of arc KJ

we know that

The inscribed angle measures half that of the arc comprising

so

m

substitute the values

95\°=\frac{1}{2}(125\°+arc\ KJ)

190\°=(125\°+arc\ KJ)

arc\ KJ=190\°-125\°=65\°

step 3

Find the measure of arc PJ

we know that

The inscribed angle measures half that of the arc comprising

so

m

substitute the values

70\°=\frac{1}{2}(65\°+arc\ PJ)

140\°=(65\°+arc\ PJ)

arc\ PJ=140\°-65\°=75\°

Answer:

1996

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of terms in an arithmetic sequence, divide the common difference into the difference between the last and first terms, and then add 1.

2008 - 13 = 1995 + 1 = 1996

A standard number cube is tossed. Find the following probability. ​P(greater than 4 or odd​)
lorasvet [3.4K]
A standard cube has 6 possible outcomes. But since we want to find P(4+ or odd), the outcomes become more narrow.
So:
6 outcomes -> 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

But we want to find 4+
So:
4+ = 4, 5, 6

We also want to find all odd possibilities.
So:
odd = 1, 3, 5

As you can see, there is a 5 in both the 4+ and the odd numbers so 5 will only be counted once.
P(4+ or odd) = 1, 3, 4, 5, 6

So the probability of having an outcome that is P(4+ or odd) is:
5/6 or 0.8333 or 83.33%

Hope I helped!

Answer:

This is 0.14 to the nearest hundredth

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly we list the parameters;

Drive to school = 40

Take the bus = 50

Walk = 10

Sophomore = 30

Junior = 35

Senior = 35

Total number of students in sample is 100

Let W be the event that a student walked to school

So P(w) = 10/100 = 0.1

Let S be the event that a student is a senior

P(S) = 35/100 = 0.35

The probability we want to calculate can be said to be;

Probability that a student walked to school given that he is a senior

This can be represented and calculated as follows;

P( w| s) = P( w n s) / P(s)

w n s is the probability that a student walked to school and he is a senior

We need to know the number of seniors who walked to school

From the table, this is 5/100 = 0.05

So the Conditional probability is as follows;

P(W | S ) = 0.05/0.35 = 0.1429

To the nearest hundredth, that is 0.14
