Answer:

a. ║x - p║ = 3% b. the least percent of voters for the incumbent is 53 % and the greatest percent of voters for the incumbent is 59 %

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Let x represent the number of voters and p represent the percentage determined by the poll. Since we have a 3 % margin error, we have

x - p = ± 3%.

So, ║x - p║ = 3%

b. So, we solve the equation to find the least and greates percent of incumbent likely to vote.

So, ║x - p║ = 3%

⇒ x - p = 3 % or - (x - p) = 3 %

Since p = 56 %,

x - p = 3%

x - 56 % = 3 %

x = 3% + 56 %

x = 59 %

Also -(x - p) = 3%

x - p = -3%

x - 56 % = -3%

x = 56 % - 3 %

x = 53 %

So, the least percent of voters for the incumbent is 53 % and the greatest percent of voters for the incumbent is 59 %

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

  3 3/4 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

The yield from 3/4 cup of sugar is 2 dozen cookies. Multiply that by 5 and you get: the yield from 15/4 cups of sugar is 10 dozen cookies.

As a mixed number 15/4 = 3 3/4.

Ana will need 3 3/4 cups of sugar for 10 dozen cookies.
