Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The two given angles are vertically opposite -- one opposite the other.

Vertically opposite angles are equal

5x = 100 Divide by 5

5x/5 = 100/5

x = 20

In scientific notation is 14,200 000 becomes 1.42 x10'5

lyudmila [28]

You are correct with the 1.42 but wrong with the 10^5
Count the digits after the 1, which is 7. So it should be
1.42 x 10^7

In rectangle nice, the base is 2x and the height is x+1. the perimeter is 53 feet. find the height

mihalych1998 [28]

The perimeter equation for a rectangle is two times the base plus two times the height.
2B + 2H=P

Plug in the known values and solve for x.
2(2x) + 2(x+1)=53
4x+2x+2=53
6x=51
x=8.5

Now that we know what x is, put it back into the formula for the height of the rectangle to find the final answer.
H= x+1
H=8.5+1
H=9.5 ft

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

There was a survey made in Michigan asking the residents if they were in favor of or against the creation of standards to limit pollution by CAFOs.

Using the results of the survey the student that conducted it estimated the population proportion of Michigan residents that are in favor of the creation of standards to limit pollution by CAFOs.

The calculated 95% CI is [0,7752; 0,8248]

Interpretation: With a 95% confidence level you'd expect that the interval [0,7752; 0,8248] will include the true population proportion of Michigan residents that are in favor of the creation of standards to limit pollution by CAFOs.

i.e. If you were to construct 100 confidence intervals, you'd expect 95 of them to contain the true value of the proportion of Michigan residents that are in favor of the creation of standards to limit pollution by CAFOs.

With this in mind:

Consider all of the following statements and determine which among them is incorrect

1) There is a 95% probability that the actual percent of Michigan residents in favor of pollution standards is between 77.52% and 82.48%. INCORRECT

2) Approximately 95% of MSU students favor pollution standards at a rate of 77.52% and 82.48%. INCORRECT

The confidence level is the probability that the interval will contain the true value of the parameter of interest and the bonds of the interval indicate the possible range of that parameter.

Also in 1) The parameter is not defined correctly, and in 2) the population of interest is incorrect.

3) If this study were repeated many times, we'd expect approximately 95% of future confidence intervals to contain the true rate at which Michigan residents favor the creation of pollution standards. CORRECT

4) With 95% confidence, we estimate the true rate at which Michigan residents favor the creation of pollution standards to be between 77.52% and 82.48%. CORRECT

I hope it helps!

An industry representative claims that 10 percent of all satellite dish owners subscribe to at least one premium movie channel.

Greeley [361]

Answer: 1) 0.6561 2) 0.0037

Step-by-step explanation:

We use Binomial distribution here , where the probability of getting x success in n trials is given by :-

$P(X=x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}$

, where p =Probability of getting success in each trial.

As per given , we have

The probability that any satellite dish owners subscribe to at least one premium movie channel. : p=0.10

Sample size : n= 4

Let x denotes the number of dish owners in the sample subscribes to at least one premium movie channel.

1) The probability that none of the dish owners in the sample subscribes to at least one premium movie channel = $P(X=0)=^4C_0(0.10)^0(1-0.10)^{4}$

$=(1)(0.90)^4=0.6561$

∴ The probability that none of the dish owners in the sample subscribes to at least one premium movie channel is 0.6561.

2) The probability that more than two dish owners in the sample subscribe to at least one premium movie channel.

= $P(X>2)=1-P(X\leq2)\\\\=1-[P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2)]\\\\= 1-[0.6561+^4C_1(0.10)^1(0.90)^{3}+^4C_2(0.10)^2(0.90)^{2}]\\\\=1-[0.6561+(4)(0.0729)+\dfrac{4!}{2!2!}(0.0081)]\\\\=1-[0.6561+0.2916+0.0486]\\\\=1-0.9963=0.0037$

∴ The probability that more than two dish owners in the sample subscribe to at least one premium movie channel is 0.0037.
