A TV report conducted a survey of 947 people in New York City and found that 35% of the population believe that the Yankees will

miss the playoffs this year. In the accompanying dialogue, the reporter states, we are 97% confident that the true proportion of people in New York City who believe that the Yankees will miss the playoffs this year lies between 28% and 42% . What does 35% represent in the report

Answer:

$35\%$ represents the sample proportion of the population

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The sample size is n = 947

The proportion of the population that believes that the Yankees will miss the playoffs this year is $k = 35\% = 0.35$

From the question we are told the confidence level is 97%

The lower limit of the confidence level is a = 28%

The upper limit of the b = 42%

Generally the sample proportion of this population is mathematically represented as

$\^ p = \frac{a+ b}{2}$

=> $\^ p = \frac{28 + 42 }{2}$

=> $\^ p = 35\%$

Hence $35\%$ represents the sample proportion

Solve the given equation by completing the square.

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

a = -4, b = 3 and c = 6 (OR)

a = -4, b = -3 and c = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^{2} +8x = 38$

Add 16 to both sides.

$x^{2} +8x+16 = 38 + 16$

$(x+4)^{2} =54$

$x + 4 = \sqrt{54}$ or $x + 4 = -\sqrt{54}$

$x+4=3\sqrt{6}$ or $x+4=-3\sqrt{6}$

$x=-4+3\sqrt{6}$ or $x=-4-3\sqrt{6}$

Therefore, a = -4, b = 3 and c = 6 (OR)

a = -4, b = -3 and c = 6

write an equation for the perpendicular bisector of the line joining the two points. PLEASE do 4,5 and 6

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

4. The equation of the perpendicular bisector is y = $\frac{3}{4}$ x - $\frac{1}{8}$

5. The equation of the perpendicular bisector is y = - 2x + 16

6. The equation of the perpendicular bisector is y = $-\frac{3}{2}$ x + $\frac{7}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets revise some important rules

The product of the slopes of the perpendicular lines is -1, that means if the slope of one of them is m, then the slope of the other is $-\frac{1}{m}$ (reciprocal m and change its sign)
The perpendicular bisector of a line means another line perpendicular to it and intersect it in its mid-point
The formula of the slope of a line is $m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$
The mid point of a segment whose end points are $(x_{1},y_{1})$ and $(x_{2},y_{2})$ is $(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2},\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2})$
The slope-intercept form of the linear equation is y = m x + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

4.

∵ The line passes through (7 , 2) and (4 , 6)

- Use the formula of the slope to find its slope

∵ $x_{1}$ = 7 and $x_{2}$ = 4

∵ $y_{1}$ = 2 and $y_{2}$ = 6

∴ $m=\frac{6-2}{4-7}=\frac{4}{-3}$

- Reciprocal it and change its sign to find the slope of the ⊥ line

∴ The slope of the perpendicular line = $\frac{3}{4}$

- Use the rule of the mid-point to find the mid-point of the line

∴ The mid-point = $(\frac{7+4}{2},\frac{2+6}{2})$

∴ The mid-point = $(\frac{11}{2},\frac{8}{2})=(\frac{11}{2},4)$

- Substitute the value of the slope in the form of the equation

∵ y = $\frac{3}{4}$ x + b

- To find b substitute x and y in the equation by the coordinates

of the mid-point

∵ 4 = $\frac{3}{4}$ × $\frac{11}{2}$ + b

∴ 4 = $\frac{33}{8}$ + b

- Subtract $\frac{33}{8}$ from both sides

∴ $-\frac{1}{8}$ = b

∴ y = $\frac{3}{4}$ x - $\frac{1}{8}$

∴ The equation of the perpendicular bisector is y = $\frac{3}{4}$ x - $\frac{1}{8}$

5.

∵ The line passes through (8 , 5) and (4 , 3)

- Use the formula of the slope to find its slope

∵ $x_{1}$ = 8 and $x_{2}$ = 4

∵ $y_{1}$ = 5 and $y_{2}$ = 3

∴ $m=\frac{3-5}{4-8}=\frac{-2}{-4}=\frac{1}{2}$

- Reciprocal it and change its sign to find the slope of the ⊥ line

∴ The slope of the perpendicular line = -2

- Use the rule of the mid-point to find the mid-point of the line

∴ The mid-point = $(\frac{8+4}{2},\frac{5+3}{2})$

∴ The mid-point = $(\frac{12}{2},\frac{8}{2})$

∴ The mid-point = (6 , 4)

- Substitute the value of the slope in the form of the equation

∵ y = - 2x + b

- To find b substitute x and y in the equation by the coordinates

of the mid-point

∵ 4 = -2 × 6 + b

∴ 4 = -12 + b

- Add 12 to both sides

∴ 16 = b

∴ y = - 2x + 16

∴ The equation of the perpendicular bisector is y = - 2x + 16

6.

∵ The line passes through (6 , 1) and (0 , -3)

- Use the formula of the slope to find its slope

∵ $x_{1}$ = 6 and $x_{2}$ = 0

∵ $y_{1}$ = 1 and $y_{2}$ = -3

∴ $m=\frac{-3-1}{0-6}=\frac{-4}{-6}=\frac{2}{3}$

- Reciprocal it and change its sign to find the slope of the ⊥ line

∴ The slope of the perpendicular line = $-\frac{3}{2}$

- Use the rule of the mid-point to find the mid-point of the line

∴ The mid-point = $(\frac{6+0}{2},\frac{1+-3}{2})$

∴ The mid-point = $(\frac{6}{2},\frac{-2}{2})$

∴ The mid-point = (3 , -1)

- Substitute the value of the slope in the form of the equation

∵ y = $-\frac{3}{2}$ x + b

- To find b substitute x and y in the equation by the coordinates

of the mid-point

∵ -1 = $-\frac{3}{2}$ × 3 + b

∴ -1 = $-\frac{9}{2}$ + b

- Add $\frac{9}{2}$ to both sides

∴ $\frac{7}{2}$ = b

∴ y = $-\frac{3}{2}$ x + $\frac{7}{2}$

∴ The equation of the perpendicular bisector is y = $-\frac{3}{2}$ x + $\frac{7}{2}$

Please answer quickly!!!!

Natalka [10]

The volume of the rectangular prism can be found with the formula
v= length × width × height
V = 10×10×30 = 3000

the volume of the triangular prism can be found with
v = 1/2(base×width×height)
v=1/2×30×9×10 = 1/2×2700
v = 1350

Now add the two volumes together for the total volume...

3000+1350 = 4,350 in^3
