The numerator of a fraction that is written in simplest form is 4 less than the denominator. If you multiply the numerator by 2

and increase the denominator by 14, the new fraction is less than the original fraction by 1/3 of it.

Answer:

  3/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n represent the numerator of the original fraction. Then its denominator is n+4. The new fraction is ...

  \dfrac{2n}{(n+4)+14}=(1-\dfrac{1}{3})\cdot\dfrac{n}{n+4}\\\\\dfrac{2n}{n+18}=\dfrac{2n}{3(n+4)}\\\\n+18=3n+12\\\\6=2n\\\\n=3

So, the original fraction is ...

Exit polling is a popular technique used to determine the outcome of an election prior to results being tallied. Suppose a refer
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

P(X ≤ 94) =  0.09012

From what we observe; There is a probability  of less than 94 people who voted for the referendum is 0.09012

Comment:

The result is unusual because the probability that p is equal to or more extreme than the sample proportion is greater than 5%. Thus, it is not unusual for a wrong call to be made in an election if the exit polling alone is considered.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given :

An exit poll of 200 voters finds that 94 voted for the referendum.

How likely are the results of your sample if the population proportion of voters in the town in favor of the referendum is 0.52​? Based on your​ result, comment on the dangers of using exit polling to call elections.

This implies that ;

the Sample size n = 200

the probability p = 0.52

Let X be the random variable

So; the Binomial expression can be represented as:

X \sim Binomial ( n = 200, p = 0.52)

Mean \mu = np

Mean \mu  = 200 × 0.52

Mean \mu  = 104

The standard deviation \sigma = \sqrt{np(1-p)}

The standard deviation \sigma = \sqrt{200 \times 0.52(1-0.52)}

The standard deviation \sigma = \sqrt{200 \times 0.52(0.48)}

The standard deviation \sigma = \sqrt{49.92}

The standard deviation \sigma = 7.065

However;

P(X ≤ 94) because the discrete distribution by the continuous normal distribution values lies in the region of 93.5 and 94.5 .

The less than or equal to sign therefore relates to the continuous normal distribution of X < 94.5

Now;

x = 94.5

Therefore;

z = \dfrac{x- \mu}{\sigma}

z = \dfrac{94.5 - 104}{7.065}

z = \dfrac{-9.5}{7.065}

z = −1.345

P(X< 94.5) = P(Z < - 1.345)

From the z- table

P(X ≤ 94) =  0.09012

From what we observe; There is a probability  of less than 94 people who voted for the referendum is 0.09012

Comment:

The result is unusual because the probability that p is equal to or more extreme than the sample proportion is greater than 5%. Thus, it is not unusual for a wrong call to be made in an election if the exit polling alone is considered.

The length of the base of a square pyramid is 9 inches the slant height is 12 inches what is the surface area of the pyramid
zhenek [66]

Answer:

The surface area is 297\ in^{2}  

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The surface area of the square pyramid is equal to the area of the square base plus the area of its four lateral triangular faces

so

SA=b^{2}+4[\frac{1}{2}(b)(l)]

where

b=9\ in

l=12\ in -----> the slant height

substitute the values

SA=9^{2}+4[\frac{1}{2}(9)(12)]

SA=297\ in^{2}
