Assume that an opinion poll conducted in a 1998 congressional race found that on election eve, 54% of the voters supported Congressman Smith and 44% supported challenger Jones. Also assume that the poll had a /- 3% margin of error. What would the pollster be able to safely predict

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Congressman Smith will defeat Challenger Jones

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the poll has a +/- 3% margin of error, the minimum and maximum possible percentages for each candidate are:

(44% - 3%) ≤ Jones ≤ (44% + 3%)

41% ≤ Jones ≤ 47%

(54% - 3%) ≤ Smith ≤ (54% + 3%)

51% ≤ Smith ≤ 57%

This means that, even in the worst possible scenario for Congressman Smith, he would still beat Jones with 51% against 47% of the votes. The pollster can safely predict that Congressman Smith will defeat Challenger Jones .

Answers

Answer:

B.12.32

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y be the widht of this triangle and x the length of it

From the first information we can write :

3y-x=2

from the second one :

2y+2x= 92

so our equation are :

3y-x=22y+2x= 92

Multiply the first one by 2 then add it to the second one to get rid of x :

6y-2x= 42y+2x+6y-2x= 92+4 8y = 96 y= 12 replace y by 12 to calculate the value of x x= 34

help on system of equations using substitution

Answers

Answer:

The answer is option C.

The answer is option

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 2y = - 15 ......... 1

x - 4y = - 3 ........ 2

Make x the subject in the second equation and substitute it into the first equation

That's

x = 4y - 3

5(4y - 3) + 2y = - 15

20y - 15 + 2y = - 15

22y = - 15 + 15

22y = 0

Divide both sides by 22

y = 0

Substitute y = 0 into x = 4y - 3

That's

x = 4(0) - 3

x = - 3

x = - 3 y = 0

( - 3 , 0)

- 1 = 5 + x/6 Solve for the variable.

Answers

Hey there! :)

Answer:

x = -36.

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting with:

-1 = 5 + x/6

Begin by subtracting 5 from both sides:

-1 - 5 = 5 - 5 + x/6

-6 = x/6

Multiply both sides by 6:

-6 · 6 = x/6 · 6

-36 = x.

Answer:

x = -36

Step-by-step explanation:

- 1 = 5 + x/6

Subtract 5 on both sides.

-1 - 5 = x/6

-6 = x/6

Multiply both sides by 6.

-6 × 6 = x

-36 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

6th term, [tex]a_{6} =0[/tex]

5th term, [tex]a_{5} =-2[/tex]

To find:

First three terms of the sequence = ?

Solution:

Putting n = 6 in the recursive function:

[tex]a_6=a_{5}-(a_{4}-4)\\\Rightarrow 0=-2-(a_{4}-4)\\\Rightarrow 2=-(a_{4}-4)\\\Rightarrow -2=(a_{4}-4)\\\Rightarrow -2+4=a_{4}\\\Rightarrow a_{4}=2[/tex]

Putting n = 5 in the recursive function:

[tex]a_5=a_{4}-(a_{3}-4)\\\Rightarrow -2=2-(a_{3}-4)\\\Rightarrow -2-2=-(a_{3}-4)\\\Rightarrow 4=(a_{3}-4)\\\Rightarrow a_{3}=8[/tex]

Putting n = 4 in the recursive function:

[tex]a_4=a_{3}-(a_{2}-4)\\\Rightarrow 2=8-(a_{2}-4)\\\Rightarrow 2-8=-(a_{2}-4)\\\Rightarrow 6=(a_{2}-4)\\\Rightarrow a_{2}=10[/tex]

Putting n = 3 in the recursive function:

[tex]a_3=a_{2}-(a_{1}-4)\\\Rightarrow 8=10-(a_{1}-4)\\\Rightarrow 8-10=-(a_{1}-4)\\\Rightarrow -2=-(a_{1}-4)\\\Rightarrow 2=a_{1}-4\\\Rightarrow a_{1}=4+2\\\Rightarrow a_{1}=6[/tex]

So, first, second and third terms are 6, 10, 8.

    Similarly, the distance from Q (4, 0) to B (0, -2) is 4 left and down 2.

Answers

Answer:

18.87 square cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the rectangle will be (4 + 4) * 4, since the length of the rectangle would be the diameter of the circle, and the width of the rectangle would be the radius. (4 + 4) * 4 = 8 * 4 = 32 square cm.

Then, we can calculate the area of the semicircle. The area of a circle is pi * r^2, so the area of a semicircle will be half of that. pi * (4^2) / 2 = pi * 16 / 2 = 8pi. 8 * 3.14159265 = 25.1327412 square cm.

The shaded area of the middle of the shape will then be 32 - 25.1327412 = 6.8672588 square cm.

The two triangles will have the same area. Their bases will be 14 minus the diameter of the circle, then divide that by 2 to get each separate base. 14 - 8 = 6 / 2 = 3. The heights of the triangles will be the radius of the circle, or 4 cm.

1/2 * 3 * 4 = 1/2 * 12 = 12/2 = 6. That is the area of one triangle, so the area of both triangles would be 6 * 2 = 12 square cm.

6.8672588 + 12 = 18.8672588, or 18.87 square cm.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

(44 - 8(pi)) cm^2    Exact area

18,9 cm^2    Approximate area

Step-by-step explanation:

The shaded area is the area of the trapezoid minus the area of the semicircle.

area of trapezoid = (b1 + b2)h/2

area of semicircle = (pi)(r^2)/2

The triangles at both sides are right triangles. Each of the horizontal legs has length (14 cm - 8 cm)/2 = 3 cm. Each of the vertical legs is congruent to the radius of the semicircle.

b1 = lower base = 14 cm

b2 = upper base = 14 cm - 3 cm - 3 cm = 8 cm

shaded area = (b1 + b2)h/2 - (pi)(r^2)/2

= (14 cm + 8 cm)(4 cm)/2 - (pi)(4 cm)^2 / 2

= 44 cm^2 - 8(pi) cm^2

= (44 - 8(pi)) cm^2    Exact area

= 18.9 cm^2    Approximate area

Answer:

d = 13.9965 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a Circle Formula: A = πr²

diameter = 2r

Step 1: Plug in known variables

153.86 = πr²

Step 2: Solve for r

153.86/π = r²

r² = 48.9752

r = √48.9752

r = 6.99823

Step 3: Find d

d = 2(6.99823)

d = 13.9965

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We khow that the area of a cercle is :

A= r²*π where r is the radius

A= 153.86 in²

so : r² = 153.86/π = 48.97 ≈ 49

then r = 7

so the diameter is 14 in


The width of a rectangle is 38 centimeters. The perimeter is at least 692 centimeters. Write an inequality that represents all possible values for the length of the rectangle. Then solve the inequality.

Answers

Answer:

See bolded / underlined / italicized below -

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a great question!

If x were the length of this rectangle, then we could conclude the following,

2( 38 ) + 2( x ) > 692,

As you can see there is a greater than sign present, as the perimeter is at least 692 centimeters. In this case the perimeter is given to be at least 692 centimeters, but can also be calculated through double the width and double the length together. And of course we are given the width to be 38 cm -

2( 38 ) + 2x > 692,

76 + 2x > 692,

2x > 616,

x > 308

Solution = Length should be at least 308 cm

Complete the table for different values of X in the polynomial expression -7x^2+32x+240. Then, determine the optimal price that the taco truck should sell it’s tacos for. Assume whole dollar amounts for the tacos.

Answers

Answer:

$6

Step-by-step explanation:

Tico’s taco truck is trying to determine the best price at which to sell tacos, the only item on the menu, to maximize profits. The taco trucks owner decided to adjust the price per taco and record data on the number of tacos sold each day with each new price. When the taco truck charges $4 for a taco, it sells an average of 60 tacos in one day. With every $1 increase in the price of a taco, the number of tacos sold per day decreases by 7.

The owner can calculate the daily revenue using the polynomial expression (-7x²+32x+240),

where x is the number of $1 increases in the taco price. In this activity, you’ll interpret and manipulate this expression and the scenario it represents.

x is number of $1 increments above the initial price of $4.  (x=0 means a price of $4, x=1 means a price of $5, etc.)

The revenue is -7x²+32x+240.  The average number of tacos sold is the revenue divided by the price.

For example, if x = 0, then the taco price is $4, the revenue is $240, and the number of tacos sold is 60.

If x = 1, then the taco price is $5, the revenue is $265, and the number of tacos sold is 53.

Each time x increases by 1, the number of tacos sold decreases by 7.

Continuing:

[tex]\left[\begin{array}{cccc}Value\ of\ x&Taco\ Price\ (\$)&Average\ Number\ of\ Tacos\ Sold&Daily\ Revenue\ (\$)\\0&4&60&240\\1&5&53&265\\2&6&46&276\\3&7&39&273\\4&8&32&256\\5&9&25&225\\6&10&18&180\end{array}\right][/tex]

The optimal price is $6.  At this price, the revenue is a maximum at $276.
