Answer:

x = 12

m(QS) = 52°

m(PD) = 152°

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall: Angle formed by two secants outside a circle = ½(the difference of the intercepted arcs)

Thus:

m<R = ½[m(PD) - m(QS)]

50° = ½[(12x + 8) - (4x + 4)] => substitution

Solve for x

Multiply both sides by 2

2*50 = (12x + 8) - (4x + 4)

100 = (12x + 8) - (4x + 4)

100 = 12x + 8 - 4x - 4 (distributive property)

Add like terms

100 = 8x + 4

100 - 4 = 8x

96 = 8x

96/8 = x

12 = x

x = 12

✔️m(QS) = 4x + 4 = 4(12) + 4 = 52°

✔️m(PD) = 12x + 8 = 12(12) + 8 = 152°

Answer:

(0.3798, 0.4602)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p be the true proportion of US adults who believe raising the minimum wage will help the economy. A point estimate for p is $\hat{p}=0.42$ and a good aproximation (because we have a large sample) for the standard deviation of $\hat{p}$ is $\sqrt{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})/n}=\sqrt{0.42(0.58)/1000}=0.0156$ . Therefore, a 99% confidence interval for p is given by $\hat{p}\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}$ where $\alpha=0.01$ and $z_{\alpha/2}$ is the $\alpha/2$ th quantile of the standard normal distribution, so we have, $0.42\pm z_{0.005}0.0156$ , i.e., $0.42\pm(-2.5758)(0.0156)$ or equivalently (0.3798, 0.4602).
