Answer:

A. 8%

B. 39.6%

C. 58.4%

D. 41.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Computation to determine the probability of eligible voter selected at random

First step is to Draw up a contingincy table which will include Rows = Degree/No degree

and Columns= Vote/Not vote

..............Vote..No vote

Degree 80...20...100

(80%*100=80)

(100-80=20)

No Degree 504..396..900

(1000-100=900)

(56%*900=504)

(504-900=396

Totals 584..416...1000

(80+504=584)

(20+396=416)

(900+100=1,000)

Summary

..............Vote..No vote

Degree 80...20...100

No Degree 504..396..900

Total Totals 584..416...1000

A. Calculation to determine the probability of The voter had a college degree and voted in the last presidential election.

P = 80/1,000

P=0.08*100

P=8%

Therefore the probability of The voter had a college degree and voted in the last presidential election will be 8%

B. Calculation to determine the probability of The voter did not have a college degree and did not vote in the last presidential election.

P =396/1000

P=0.396*100

P=39.6%

Therefore the probability of The voter did not have a college degree and did not vote in the last presidential election will be 39.6%

C. Calculation to determine the probability if The voter voted in the last presidential election.

P = 584/1,000

P=0.584*100

P=58.4%

Therefore the probability if The voter voted in the last presidential election will be 58.4%

D. Calculation to determine the probability if The voter did not vote in the last presidential election.

P = 416/1000

P=0.416*100

P=41.6%

Therefore the probability if The voter did not vote in the last presidential election will be 41.6%

A regular hexagon has an apothem of 14.7 inches and a perimeter of 101.8 inches. What is the area of the hexagon?
Neporo4naja [7]

<u>Answer</u>

748.23 in²


<u>Explanation</u>

Apothem a line from the centre of a regular polygon at right angles to any of its sides. This can be said to be the height of the triangle in a polygon.

The base of the  hexagon = 101.8 ÷ 6

                                            = 19.96666..

                                            = 19.9667 inches

Area of the  hexagon = 1/2 × height × base length × 6

                                     = 1/2 × 14.7 × 19.9667 × 6

                                      = 748.23 in²
