The length of PN is 2.63 feet

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u />

Given:

∠P=90°,

∠O=17°,

OP = 8.6 feet

PN = ?

The given triangle is a right angle triangle as one angle is 90°

We know:

tan \alpha = \frac{perpendicular}{base}

tan(17^o) = \frac{PN}{OP} \\\\0.3057 = \frac{PN}{8.6} \\\\PN = 0.3057 X 8.6 feet\\\\PN = 2.63 feet

Therefore, the length of PN is 2.63 feet

The number of significant figures in the numbers are

  • 100 cm = 1 significant digit
  • 0.006700 cm = 2 significant digits
  • 450. cm = 3 significant digits

<h3>How to determine the number of significant figures in the following numbers?</h3>

As a general rule, the zeros before and after the non-zero figures are not significant.

Using the above rule, we have:

  • 100 cm = 1 significant digit
  • 0.006700 cm = 2 significant digits
  • 450. cm = 3 significant digits

<h3>How to round the following numbers to the correct number of significant figures</h3>

Using the above rule in (a), we have:

  • 123g to show 1 sig fig = 100 g
  • 0.19851m to show 2 sig figs = 0.2 m
  • 0.0057034L to show 3 sig figs = 0.005703 L

<h3>How to report the following answers with correct significant figures</h3>

We have:

(12.93cm) x (2.34cm) x (8cm) = 242.05 cm^3 because 12.93 has 4 significant figures

67.0m / 2.18s = 30.7 m/s because 2.18 has 3 significant figures

<h3>How to convert the following metric to metric</h3>

450mL = 0.45 L

because 1 mL = 0.001 L

2.3 dm = 0.00023 km

because 1 dm = 0.0001 km

0.120cg = 1.2 mg

because 1 cg = 10 mg

6700L = 670000 cL

because 1 L = 100 cL

<h3>How to convert the following metric</h3>

a. 2.34miles = 3.76 km (1mile = 1.61km) -- given

b. 5.3ft = 161.544 cm(2.54cm = 1 in)

Because 1 ft = 30.48 cm

Suppose that a researcher is designing a survey to estimate the proportion of adults in your state who oppose a proposed law tha
irinina [24]

Answer:

n=\frac{0.5 (1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.02}{1.96})^2}= 2401

So without prior estimation for the population proportion, using a confidence level of 95% if we want a margin of error about 2% we need al least a sample size of 2401.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

The population proportion have the following distribution  

p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}})  

Solution to the problem

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:  

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

If solve n from equation (a) we got:  

n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2} (b)  

The margin of error desired for this case is ME= \pm 0.02 equivalent to 2% points

For this case we need to assume a confidence level, let's assume 95%. And since we don't have prior estimation for the population proportion of interest the best value to do an approximation is \hat p =0.5

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the margin of error for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 95% of confidence, our significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.95=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025. And the critical value would be given by:  

z_{\alpha/2}=\pm 1.96  

Now we have all the values needed and if we replace into equation (b) we got:

n=\frac{0.5 (1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.02}{1.96})^2}= 2401

So without prior estimation for the population proportion, using a confidence level of 95% if we want a margin of error about 2% we need al least a sample size of 2401.

In the square below, the two semi-circles are congruent. Find the area of the shaded region. If necessary, round your answer to
Jobisdone [24]
Let's start with the area of the square
area \: square = s \times s = 8 \times 8 = 64
now let's subtract the are of the two half circles.
two half circles are the same as one circle, and we know that the diameter of the circle is 8 (same as the side of a square) so it's radius is 8/2= 4 inches

area \: circle = \pi {r}^{2}  = \pi \times  {4}^{2}  = 16\pi
now we just subtract and our answer is

64 - 16\pi = 64 - 16 \times (3.14) = 13.73
