Answer:

QR = 4x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle is a polygon that has three sides and three angles. There are different types of triangles such as equilateral triangle, isosceles triangle, scalene triangle, right angled triangle.

The perimeter of a triangle is a measure of the length of the sides. It is the sum of all the length of the three sides of the triangle.

From the question:

Perimeter of triangle PQR = PQ + PR + QR

But PR = 3x - 1, PQ = x + 1, Perimeter of PQR = 8x - 6.

Therefore substituting gives:

8x - 6 = (x + 1) + (3x - 1) + QR

8x - 6 = (x + 3x + 1 - 1) + QR

8x - 6 = 4x + QR

QR = (8x - 6) - 4x

QR = 4x - 6

Answer: a) margin of error = 61.25, b) sample size when margin of error is 45 = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

The formulae to get the margin of error of a confidence interval is given as

Margin of error = critical value * (σ/√n)

Where σ = population standard deviation = 125

n = sample size = 16

Critical value =Zα/2 = 1.96 ( this is so because we are performing a 95% confidence level test then level of significance (α) will be 5% and since our test is of two values, it will be 2 tailed).

Margin of error = 1.96 * (125/√16)

Margin of error = 1.96 * 125/4

Margin of error = 1.96 * 31.25

Margin of error = 61.25

Question b)

Margin of error = 45

Critical value =Zα/2 = 1.96

Population standard deviation = σ = 125

Sample size =n =??

By recalling the formulae

Margin of error = critical value * (σ/√n)

45 = 1.96 * (125/√n)

45 = (1.96 * 125)/√n

45 = 245/√n

45 * √n = 245

√n = 245/ 45

√n = 5.444

n = (5.444)²

n= 29.64 which is approximately 30.
