Answer:
b. 0.055
Step-by-step explanation:
The point estimate of the proportion of people who wear hearing aids is
The number of people in the sample who wear hearing aids divided by the total number of people in the sample.
In this problem, we have that:
Sample of 855.
47 people in the sample had hearing aids.
47/855 = 0.0549
Rounding up
0.055
So the correct answer is:
b. 0.055
35 :) If you change the percent into a decimal (0.70) and multiply that by 50, you will get the answer!
The person and his shadow make a right triangle as well as the tree and it's shadow. they will be similar right triangles containing angles that are equal. I'm in similar triangles the angles are proportional so a ratio could be used to determine the shadow length. this ratio is:
25/5 = x/15
(Notice that both the height of the person and
the height of the tree height of the tree are on
the bottom because these would be similar
sides and the same for the shadows with both
on top. this could easily have been switched
with the shadows on bottom and heights on
top like:
5/25 = 15/x
however I noticed the 25/5 could easily be
reduced. this eliminated the need for cross
multiplication.)
The 25/5 can be reduced to 5:
5 = x/15
and then multiply both sides by 15 and you get:
x = 75
so the answer is 75 feet long.
this can be checked various ways. using trigonometry we have the opposite and adjacent sides so tangent could be used to find the angle between the shadow and the hypotenuse. this is:
tan (x) = opposite/adjacent
opposite = height
adjacent = shadow
so:
tan (x) = 5/25 for person
tan (x) = 15/75 for tree
these equations both reduce to:
tan (x) = 1/5
And of both equations are the same then the angLee are equal creating similar triangles and a correct answer
Answer:
2880
Step-by-step explanation:
The total number of people affected by flu during the 2nd and 3rd week of January, 1200 + 1680 = 2880
