Please teach me how to solve part b, thank you.
1 answer:
Part (a)
The locus is the set of points that satisfy the given conditions. Namely that the point P needs to be 1 unit from the line given.
Think of a median along a highway. Then imagine the two shoulders of the road. The locus describes the two parallel lines that are to this given median. In other words, the median is y = x+2 and the road shoulders are unknown for now.
Though we do know that parallel lines have equal slopes (but different y intercepts).
Therefore, the answers to the next section will be of the form y = x+k for some real number k.
=============================================================
Part (b)
Use your favorite graphing tool to plot y = x+2. I recommend GeoGebra since I use it all the time, and it's what I used to make the drawing below. Desmos is another tool you can use. Both are free.
Note that point A(0,2) is on the line y = x+2. The line perpendicular to y = x+2 and goes through (0,2) is y = -x+2. From here, plot a circle centered at (0,2) with radius 1. The equation of this circle is x^2 + (y-2)^2 = 1
The intersection points of the circle and y = -x+2 will provide starting points, so to speak, for the two shoulder lines I mentioned in part (a).
The approximate locations of those points are:
B = (0.71, 1.29)
C = (-0.71, 2.71)
From here, it shouldn't be too hard to find the y = mx+b forms of the locus lines. Let me know if you need help with that, or if you need me to check your answers.
Side note: Why is it called a locus? I'm not sure, but my gut feeling tells me it has to do with the insects of a similar sounding name (locus the math term and locust the insect). Imagine millions of them forming various shapes in the sky, similar to how many points are used in the 2D plane to create various curves.

Answer:
Now we can calculate the p value based on the alternative hypothesis with this probability:
The p value is very low compared to the significance level of then we can reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true proportion of people liberal is higher than 0.24
Step-by-step explanation:
Information given
n=200 represent the random sample taken
X=75 represent the number of people Liberal
estimated proportion of people liberal
is the value that we want to test
z would represent the statistic
represent the p value
Hypothesis to test
We want to verify if the true proportion of adults liberal is higher than 0.24:
Null hypothesis:
Alternative hypothesis:
The statistic is given by:
(1)
Replacing the info given we got:
Now we can calculate the p value based on the alternative hypothesis with this probability:

I'm assuming you're looking for the dimensions of the plot. I'm going with that. ;) If the length of the plot is 5 meters longer than the width, then L = w + 5. The area for a rectangle is L*w, and we have an area value of 20,000 so our formula is 20000=(w+5)(w) and 
. We will bring the 20,000 over by subtraction and set the polynomial equal to 0 to factor and solve for w. 
Solving for w we get values of w=138.9 and -143.9. Of course the 2 things in math that will never EVER be negative are time and distance/length, so -143.9 is out. Our width is 138.9 and the length is 138.9 + 5 so the length is 143.9. And there you go! Hope that's what you needed!
