A politician claims that a proposal for a new traffic law is broadly supported by both political parties and that a person from

either political party is equally likely to support the proposed legislation. He cites two recent polls that said 70% of a random sample of 550 people from his political party supports the law, and 65% of a random sample of 420 people from the other political party supports the law. The 95 percent confidence interval for the difference in population proportions is (–0.010, 0.110). Based on the interval, is the politician’s claim justified?

Answer:

Based on the 95% confidence interval for the difference in population proportion, there is convincing statistical evidence that he is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The proportion from the sample of people from his party that support the law = 70%

The number the members of the politicians political party that support the law = 550 people

The proportion from the sample of people from the other party that support the law = 65%

The number the members of the politicians political party that support the law = 420 people

The confidence level of the test = 95%

The given confidence interval for the difference in proportion, C.I. = (-0.010, 0.110)

Given that the 95% confidence interval for the difference in population proportion ranges from -0.010, to 0.110, it is 95% certain that 0 is among the likely difference in proportion between the two populations and therefore, there is sufficient statistical evidence to suggest that there is no difference in the proportion of the members of either political that support the proposed new traffic law.

PLEASE HELP/ANSWER! From 1980 to 1990, Lior’s weight increased by 25%. If his weight was k kilograms in 1990, what was it in 198
Elena-2011 [213]

The weight in 1980 is \frac{4k}{5} kilograms

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

From 1980 to 1990, Lior’s weight increased by 25%

His weight is "k" kilograms in 1990

<em><u>To find: weight in 1980</u></em>

This is a percentage increase problem

Let "x" be the weight in kilograms in 1980

<em><u>The percentage increase is given by formula:</u></em>

\text{Percentage increase } = \frac{\text{Final value - initial value}}{\text{initial value}} \times 100

Here,

Initial value in 1980 = x

Final value in 1990 = k

Percentage increase = 25 %

<em><u>Substituting the values in formula,</u></em>

25 = \frac{k-x}{x} \times 100\\\\25x = 100(k-x)\\\\x = 4(k-x)\\\\x = 4k - 4x\\\\5x = 4k\\\\x = \frac{4k}{5}

Thus the weight in kilograms in 1980 is \frac{4k}{5}

Is this statement true or false 5/12 = 2/6
AveGali [126]

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

6*2= 12

So to get common denominators, you would need to divide 5/12 by 2 OF multiply 2/6 by 2

For the sake of ease just multiply 2/6 by 2, this will equal 4/12 NOT 5/12

Hope this helps! :)

Find the missing segment.
Bond [772]

Answer:

? = 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

The two triangles are similar because of the AA Theorem.

The larger triangle's side that is equal to 9 + 3 corresponds to the smaller triangle's side length of 9, while the larger triangle's 21 + ? side corresponds to the smaller triangle's 21 side. Now, we can set up a proportion!

\frac{9}{9+3} =\frac{21}{21 + ?}

\frac{9}{12} =\frac{21}{? + 21}

\frac{3}{4} =\frac{21}{? + 21}

\frac{1}{4} =\frac{7}{? + 21}

? + 21 = 7 * 4

? + 21 = 28

? = 28 - 21

? = 7

Hope this helps!
