In politics, marketing, etc. we often want to estimate a percentage or proportion p. One calculation in statistical polling is t

he margin of error - the largest (reasonable) error that the poll could have. For example, a poll result of 72% with a margin of error of 4% indicates that p is most likely to be between 68% and 76% (72% minus 4% to 72% plus 4%).
In a (made-up) poll, the proportion of people who like dark chocolate more than milk chocolate was 27% with a margin of error of 1.6%. Describe the conclusion about p using an absolute value inequality.

The answer field below uses the symbolic entry option in Mobius. That lets you type in a vertical bar | to represent absolute values. Also, when you type in < and then =, the symbolic entry option will automatically convert that too ≤ . In the same way, if you type in > and then =, the symbolic entry option will automatically convert that to ≥.

Be sure to use decimal numbers in your answer (such as using 0.40 for 40%).

Answer:

|0.254 ≤ p ≤ 0.286|

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

In a made up poll :

Proportion of people who like dark chocolate than milk chocolate (p) = 27%

Margin of Error = 1.6%

Hence,

p ± margin of error

27% ± 1.6%

(27 - 1.6)% ; (27 + 1.6)%

25.4% ; 28.6%

0.254 ; 0.286

Therefore ;

Lower bound = 0.254

Upper bound = 0.286

Expressing p as an absolute value Inequality ;

|0.254 ≤ p ≤ 0.286|

For f(x) = 4x+1 and g(x)=x²-5, find (f-g)(x).
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer: -x² + 4x + 6

Given:

f(x) = 4x + 1

g(x) = x² - 5

Solve:

= (f - g)(x)

= f(x) - g(x)

= 4x + 1 - (x² - 5)

= 4x + 1 - x² + 5

= -x² + 4x + 6

Classify the following data. Indicate whether the data is qualitative or quantitative, indicate whether the data is discrete, co
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

  1. <u>Quantitative.</u>
  2. <u>Discrete.</u>
  3. <u>Interval Scale.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. The IQ scores are measured numerically. This makes it quantitative data. Quantitative data provide numerical measures which can be used to perform arithmetric operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Results from these kind of data can be used to provide meaningful and explanatory results to certain phenomena.
  2. IQ scores are discrete because they are always expressed as integers. that is in whole numbers and not in fractions e.g 100, 120, 60.
  3. The level of measurement is on an interval scale because the difference between values have meanings. Larger values mean higher IQ. for example, the difference in IQ numbers between two people for represents something real.

A dog weighs two pounds less than three times the weight of a cat. The dog also weights twenty-two more pounds than the cat. Wri
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

the cat weighs 21 pounds.

the dog weighs 43 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

dog = 3x-20 = x + 22

cat = x

3x-20 = x+22

3x = x+42 (add 20 to both sides)

2x = 42 (subtract x from both sides)

x = 21
