During the 2004 senatorial campaign in a large southwestern state, illegal immigration was a major issue. One of the candidates argued that illegal immigrants made use of educational and social services without having to pay property taxes. The other candidate pointed out that the cost of new homes in their state was 20–30% less than the national average due to the low wages received by the large number of illegal immigrants working on new home construction. A random sample of 5,500 registered voters was asked the question, "Are illegal immigrants generally a benefit or a liability to the state’s economy?" The results were as follows: 3,500 people responded "liability," 1,500 people responded "benefit," and 500 people responded "uncertain."
a. What is the population of interest?
b. What is the population from which the sample was selected?
c. Does the sample adequately represent the population?
d. If a second random sample of 5,000 registered voters was selected, would the results be nearly the same as the results obtained from the initial sample of 5,000 voters? Explain your answer.
Answer:
a
The population of interest is the registered voters , this is because it is the population from which the sample size is selected from.
b
The population is the registered voters of the large southwestern state
c
Well this does not adequately represent the population because this sample where selected from only the registered voters of the large southwestern state and not the whole country
d
Yes the result will be nearly the same because
Both samples are selected from the same population The size of the sample selected is sufficiently large to approximate the populationStep-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The sample size is n = 5,500
Considering question a
What is the population of interest
The population of interest is the registered voters , this is because it is the population from which the sample size is selected from.
Considering question b
What is the population from which the sample was selected
The population is the registered voters of the large southwestern state
Considering question c
Does the sample adequately represent the population
Well this does not adequately represent the population because this sample where selected from only the registered voters of the large southwestern state and not the whole country
Considering question d
Yes the result will be nearly the same because
Both samples are selected from the same population The size of the sample selected is sufficiently large to approximate the populationIf the sum of three consecutive numbers is 852, what is the middle one?
Divide the total by the quantity of numbers:
852/3 = 284
Because there are an odd quantity of numbers (3) the answer is the middle number.
The answer is 284

O X = 1/2
[tex]2x + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{4}{3} [/tex]

Within six (6) weeks, four (4) colleagues in your department will make an important project. After the project, they were given Php100,000.00 as prize. Give the following amount of contribution each of their member exerted in making the project. How should the prize be divided to the members?
• Member A has made 25% of the total project.
• Member B has made 40% of the total project.
• Member C has made 25% of the total project.
• Member D has made 10% of the total project.
and why did you come up with your decision?
Answer:
The prize is p100,000.00, and we can define this as the 100%.
Now, we could say:
"Each member receives the same percentage of the price as the total percentage of the project that he/she did"
Then:
Member A did 25% of the total project.
Then he gets an amount X.
X = 25%
p100,000.00 = 100%
We can solve this system for X as:
X = (25%/100%)*p100,000.00 = p25,000.00
Now we can use the samme aproach for the other members:
Member B did 40% of the total project:
Then he gets an amount X.
X = 40%
p100,000.00 = 100%
X = (40%/100%)*p100,000.00 = p40,000.00
Member C did 25% of the total project.
Then he gets an amount X.
X = 25%
p100,000.00 = 100%
X = (25%/100%)*p100,000.00 = p25,000.00
Member D did 10% of the total project.
Then he gets an amount X.
X = 10%
p100,000.00 = 100%
X = (10%/100%)*p100,000.00 = p10,000.00
Now, we also could divide the price evenly between the four members:
p100,000.00/4 = p25,000.00
So they all get the same amount, but i think that the actual solution to this problem is the other one.

Based on experience, Farmer Fern knows that 15% of her eggs will be damaged in
route to the stores. In a sample of 100 eggs, what is the probability that less than
13% will be damaged?
Answer: 0.2877
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The proportion of eggs will be damaged in route to the stores = 15% = 0.15
Sample size = 100
Let p be the probability of her eggs will be damaged.
The probability that less than 13% will be damaged is given by :-
[tex]P(p<0.13)=P(\dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}<\dfrac{0.13-0.15}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.15\times(1-0.15)}{100}}})[/tex]
[tex]=P(z<-0.56)[/tex]
[tex]=1-P(z<0.56)\\\\= 1-0.7123\\\\= 0.2877[/tex]
Hence, the required probability = 0.2877

What is Trigonometric Identity?Trigonometric Identities are based on the trigonometric ratios used to solve Trigonometric equations.
The steps used to solve the trigonometric identity are :
Step 1 : sin(x+y)
Step 2: cos ((π/2) - (x+y))
Step 3 : cos ( (π/2 -x) -y)
Step 4 : cos (π/2 -x) cosy + sin (π/2 -x)siny
Step 5: sinxcosy+cosxsiny
Therefore,the correct step is cos (π/2 -x) cosy + sin (π/2 -x)siny and not cos (π/2 -x) cos(-y) + sin (π/2 -x)sin(-y) , the incorrect step is Step 4.

A submarine descends to a depth of 600 feet below the surface in 10 minutes. At this rate, what integer represents the change, in feet, of the submarine's position after one minute?
I really need help.
A submarine descends to a depth of 600 feet below the surface in 10 minutes. At this rate, what integer represents the change, in feet, of the submarine's position after one minute?
First you need to list what you're given.
A submarine descends to a depth of 600 ft below the surface in 10 minutes. The question is asking for the change of the submarine's position after one minute. This can be represented as fractions in terms of [tex]\frac{distance}{time}[/tex].
[tex]\frac{600}{10} = \frac{x}{1}[/tex]
You're looking for the value of x. First you need to cross-multiply.
[tex]600 \times 1 = 10 \times x\\600=10x[/tex]
Since you're looking for x alone, you need to divide both sides by 10. This will eliminate the 10 since x is being multiplied by 10, and 10 divided by 10 is 1, making it 1x or x.
[tex]\frac{600}{10} = \frac{10x}{10}[/tex]
[tex]60=x[/tex]
That means the submarine is descending at a rate of 60 feet per minute, which can be represented as -60.
If you're looking for the submarine's position after one minute, all you have to do is subtract 60.
600 feet below surface is represented as -600.
[tex]-600-60=-660[/tex]
The submarine's position after one minute is 660 feet below surface(-660).

Place values is the value of a digit in relation to its position
5658 approximated to the highest place value is 6000
The number is given as:
[tex]\mathbf{Number = 5658}[/tex]
The number is in thousands; so, the highest place value is thousands
This means that the number must be approximated to thousands.
When 5658 is approximated to the nearest thousands, the approximated value is:
[tex]\mathbf{Approximated = 6000}[/tex]
Hence, 5658 approximated to the highest place value is 6000
