OPTIONS:

No, because she could receive as low as 14% of the vote.

No, because she could receive as low as 49% of the vote.

Yes, because she could receive as much as 77% of the vote.

Yes, because the poll stated that she will win with 63% of the vote.

Answer:

No, because she could receive as low as 49% of the vote.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Poll suggestion = 63%

Margin of Error (E) = 14%

This means that; the range or interval in which the vote obtained could fall would be ;

Poll suggestion ± margin of Error

63% ± 14%

Lower bound attainable = (63% - 14%) = 49%

Upper bound attainable = (63% + 14%) = 77%

Since, winning actually requires obtaining atleast half of the votes (that is 50%) ; and suggested poll suggested votes could fall as low as 49% ; then Janice can't be so confident of victory.

How do i find a mixed number that is between 9/2 and 5?how do I even do this?
Pepsi [2]
A mixed number is a combination of a whole number and a fraction. The fraction 9/2 is equal to 4.5. So you would have to find a mixed number in between 4.5 and 5. You could do this by turning 5 into a mixed number, which would be 10/2. 
So now you have to find a mixed number in between 9/2 and 10/2. The best way to do this is multiply both numbers so that you can get a wider range of numbers. You would not be changing the end result, you would only be changing the size of the fraction. 
I would multiply both mixed numbers by 2, which would get you 18/4 and 20/4. That would mean that a number in between these two mixed numbers is 19/4. (which would simplify to 4.75)

 Simple Interest Formula: A = P(1 + rt)

1555 = 1000(1+(0.05*t))

1.55 = 1 + (0.05*t)

0.55 = 0.05t

11 = t

The answer is 11. Whether that is 11 years or months or whatever depends on your exact question.
