At a local college, an admissions officer wants to survey the incoming class of 500 first-year students concerning their prefere
nce of major. The officer randomly selects 100 of them to complete the survey, and finds that 45 are planning to major in liberal arts. The admissions officer uses the data to construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of first-year students who are planning on majoring in liberal arts. Are the conditions for inference met? Yes, the conditions for inference are met. No, the 10% condition is not met. No, the randomness condition is not met. No, the Large Counts Condition is not met.
You can find the complementary angle for 28° first, which is 90°-28°=62°. Since this is a right triangle, you can then use trigonometry to find x (the hypotenuse). You have the angle and the adjacent side, so plug and play:
