Answer: The correct option is D, i.e., 15 units.
Explanation:
It is given that the length of segment TR can be represented by 5x-4.
From figure it is noticed that the side TR and RV is equal and the length of segment RV is 2x+5. So,
The value of x is 3, so the length of side RV is,
In triangle TRS and angle VRS,
TR=VR
RS=RS (common side)
By SAS rule of congruence triangle,
Therefore the side TS and VS are congruent sides.
From figure it is noticed that the length of side TS is 6x-3, therefore the length of side VS is also 6x-3.
Hence, the length of side VS is 15 units and option D is correct.
Answer:
<em>0.5306</em><em>0.5694</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
USing the formuls for calculating the confidence interval for the population proportion;
CI = p±Z*√[p(1-p)/n]
p is the percentage proportion of the population 55%
Z is the z-score at 99% confidence interval = 2.576
n is the sample size = 1079
CI = 0.55 ± 2.576*[0.55(1-0.55)/√1079]
CI = 0.55 ± 2.576*[0.55(0.45)/√1079]
CI = 0.55 ± 2.576*[0.2475/√1079]
CI = 0.55 ± 2.576*[0.2475/32.85]
CI = 0.55 ± 2.576*[0.00753]
CI = 0.55 ±0.0194
CI =(0.55-0.0194, 0.55+0.0194)
CI = (0.5306, 0.5694)
<em>Hence, a 99% confidence interval of the proportion of the population that will support such a law is 0.5306</em><em>0.5694</em>
