8 0

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

-2.2 × 3.7 = 8.14

The first number is -2.2

The second number is 3.7

We know that, (-) × (+) = - (the answer is a negative)

If we multiply -2.2 and 3.7, we will get -8.14.

But in the given case, the answer is 8.18 instead of -8.14. Hence, this is the only error.

A lid has a diameter of 8 inches. What is the area of the lid?

Lorico [155]

Answer: Ok So If you know the diameter or radius of a circle, you can work out the circumference. To begin with, remember that pi is an irrational number written with the symbol π. π is roughly equal to 3.14.

The formula for working out the circumference of a circle is:

Circumference of circle = π x Diameter of circle

This is typically written as C = πd. This tells us that the circumference of the circle is three “and a bit” times as long as the diameter."

A politician estimates that 61% of his constituents will vote for him in the coming election. How many constituents are required

Katyanochek1 [597]

Using the z-distribution, as we are working with a proportion, it is found that 1016 constituents are required.

<h3>What is a confidence interval of proportions?</h3>

A confidence interval of proportions is given by:

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which:

$\pi$ is the sample proportion.

z is the critical value.

n is the sample size.

The margin of error is given by:

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In this problem, we have a 95% confidence level, hence $\alpha = 0.95$ , z is the value of Z that has a p-value of $\frac{1+0.95}{2} = 0.975$ , so the critical value is z = 1.96.
