A U.S. Senator from Indiana wanted to know what all her constituents thought about the Clean Air Act that was coming up for a vo

te in the Senate. She sent a letter to a sample of 257 Indiana voters asking them if they supported the Clean Air Act even if it meant they would have to pay higher prices for gasoline. The results indicated that 39% of the sample supported the Clean Air Act, even if it meant higher gasoline prices. The sample of Indiana voters was intended to represent all Indiana voters; therefore, the value of 39% would be called __________.

Answer:

The value of 39% would be called parameter.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a percentage refers to a sample, it is called a statistic.

When it refers to a population, it is called a parameter.

The sample of Indiana voters was intended to represent all Indiana voters;

This means that the percentage will be used with the following meaning:

"39% of all Indiana voters ..."

That is, referring to the entire population(in this case, all Indiana voters), so would be a parameter.

For the years from 2002 and projected to 2024, the national health care expenditures H, in billions of dollars, can be modeled b
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

2019.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that for the years from 2002 and projected to 2024, the national health care expenditures H, in billions of dollars, can be modeled by H = 1,500e^{0.053t} where t is the number of years past 2000.

To find the year in which national health care expenditures expected to reach $4.0 trillion (that is, $4,000 billion), we will substitute H=4,000 in our given formula and solve for t as:

4,000= 1,500e^{0.053t}

\frac{4,000}{1,500}=\frac{ 1,500e^{0.053t}}{1,500}

\frac{8}{3}=e^{0.053t}

e^{0.053t}=\frac{8}{3}

Take natural log of both sides:

\text{ln}(e^{0.053t})=\text{ln}(\frac{8}{3})

0.053t\cdot \text{ln}(e)=\text{ln}(\frac{8}{3})

0.053t\cdot (1)=0.9808292530117262

\frac{0.053t}{0.053}=\frac{0.9808292530117262}{0.053}

t=18.506212320

So in the 18.5 years after 2000 the expenditure will reach 4 trillion.

2000+18.5=2018.5

Therefore, in year 2019 national health care expenditures are expected to reach $4.0 trillion.

P is the incenter of △JKL. Find m∠JKP.<br> &amp; can you please explain
dangina [55]

Answer:

  • m∠MKP = 35°

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Incenter is the intersection of angle bisectors.</u>

  • ∠MJP = ∠OJP, ∠MKP = ∠NKP, ∠NLP = ∠OLP

<u>First find the value of x:</u>

  • 7x - 6 = 5x + 4
  • 7x - 5x = 4 + 6
  • 2x = 10
  • x = 5

<u>Find the angle MJP:</u>

  • 7*5 - 6 = 29°

<u>We know sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180°. Using this find the missing angle measure:</u>

  • 2*m∠MJP + 2*m∠NJP + 2*m∠MKP = 180°
  • m∠MJP + m∠NJP + m∠MKP = 90°
  • 29° + 26° + m∠MKP = 90°
  • m∠MKP = 90° - 55°
  • m∠MKP = 35°
