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|

Isaac is making soft pretzel nuggets. His recipe says that, after he makes the dough, he should divide it into 8 equal pieces. T
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 192 pretzels

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

number of pieces = 8

length of each piece = 2 ft

length of each pretzel = 1 in

number of pretzels = x

Process

1.- Convert ft to in

                        1 ft --------------- 12 in

                         2 ft --------------- x

                         x = (2 x 12) / 1

                         x = 24 ft

2.- Divide the length of each piece by the length of each pretzel

                       24/1 = 24 pretzels per piece

3.- Multiply the number of pretzels per the number of pieces

                       24 x 8 = 192 pretzels
