Answer:

Each friend will get 1/6 pounds of candy.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>We know that:</u>

David buys 5/6 pounds of candy.
David splits it among his 5 friends.

<u>Now, we know that:</u>

5/6 - (1/6 * 5) should be the equation.

<u>Now, we solve:</u>

5/6 - (1/6 * 5)
= 5/6 - 5/6
= 0.

Each friend will get 1/6 pounds of candy.

The average speed of a car on a stretch of interstate is 70 miles per hour. Convert this rate to feet per second.

Answer:

<h3>102. 66 feet / Second</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

To do conversion change miles into feet and hour into second.

One foot is 5280 feet

And an hour is 3600sec

70 miles / Hour

70 * 5280feet / 3600 second

369600 feet / 3600seconds

Then simplify

102. 66 feet / Second

What is the equation x^2+12x-3=16 written in the form (x-p)^2=q using the method of completing the square ?

Alexus [3.1K]

Step-by-step explanation:

${x}^{2} + 12x - 3 = 16$

${x}^{2} + 12x = 19$

${x}^{2} + 12x + 36 = 19 + 36$

$(x + 6) {}^{2} = 55$

In a survey of 300 T.V. viewers, 40% said they watch network news programs. Find the margin of error for this survey if we want

bixtya [17]

Answer:

<h2>0.05543</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating the margin of error is expressed as;

$M.E = z * \sqrt{\frac{p*(1-p)}{n} }$ where;

z is the z-score at 95% confidence = 1.96 (This is gotten from z-table)

p is the percentage probability of those that watched network news

p = 40% = 0.4

n is the sample size = 300

Substituting this values into the formula will give;

$M.E = 1.96*\sqrt{\frac{0.4(1-0.4)}{300} }\\ \\M.E = 1.96*\sqrt{\frac{0.4(0.6)}{300} }\\\\\\M.E = 1.96*\sqrt{\frac{0.24}{300} }\\\\\\M.E = 1.96*\sqrt{0.0008}\\\\\\M.E = 1.96*0.02828\\\\M.E \approx 0.05543$

Hence, the margin of error for this survey if we want 95% confidence in our estimate of the percent of T.V. viewers who watch network news programs is approximately 0.05543
