3 A headline misreported
that 95% of students
purchased books for
class. By how many
percentage points was
the headline off?

Answers

Answer 1

The headline was off by 5 percentage points.

What is percentage ?

Percentage is a way of expressing a fraction or ratio as a number out of 100. It is a common way of measuring quantities or values that are relative to a whole. For example, if there are 100 students in a class, and 75 of them passed an exam, we can say that the pass rate is 75%, which means that 75 out of 100 students passed the exam.

To calculate a percentage, we can use the formula:

Percentage = (Part / Whole) x 100%

According to the question:
If the actual percentage of students who purchased books for class was different from the reported percentage of 95%, we can find the difference between the two percentages to determine how many percentage points the headline was off.

Let's say the actual percentage of students who purchased books for class was x%. Then the difference between the actual percentage and the reported percentage is:

Difference = |Reported percentage - Actual percentage|

Difference = |95% - x%|

For example, if the actual percentage was 90%, then the difference would be:

Difference = |95% - 90%|

Difference = |5%|

Difference = 5%

This means that the headline was off by 5 percentage points.

Answers

Answer:

BD = 3.2.

CD = 2.4.

Step-by-step explanation:

By Pythagoras:

AB^2 = 3^2 + 4^2 = 25

AB = 5.

Triangles ADC and ACB are similar, so

AC / AB = AD / AC

3 / 5 = AD / 3

AD = 3*3/5

AD =  9/5 = 1.8

So BD = 5 - 1.8

= 3.2.

CD^2 = AC^2 - AD^2 (Pythagoras)

CD^2 = 3^2 - 1.8^2 = 5.76

CD = 2.4.

Step-by-step explanation:

hope it helps.

Answer:

x=±√9 or x= 3, x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem requires us to find the x.

So we must isolate the variable, as so-

[tex]5x^2-45=0\\5x^2=45[/tex] (add 45 to both sides)

Now we can divide both sides by -

[tex]5x^2=45\\x^2=9[/tex]

Now we must square root both sides to find the root of x.

[tex]\sqrt{x^2} =\sqrt{9}[/tex]

x=±√9

or x= 3, x=-3

In the figure above, ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral. What ja the value of x in degrees?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

The diagram makes the line AB look like it is tilted a bit to the right. I'm going to assume that isn't right. AB extended is a straight line. ADC is supplementary to the 80o angle.

Solution

<ADC + 80o = 180                   They are on the same straight line

<ADC = 180 - 80                      Subtract 80 from both sides

<ADC = 100o

Opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilatral are supplementary

<ADC + <ABC = 180                Property of cyclic quadrilaterals

100 + <ABC = 180                    Subtract 100 from both sides

<ABC = 80 degrees.

<x + <ABC = 180

<x + 80 = 180

<x = 100 degrees

Discussion

I cannot be sure what the arc at B is equal to. Is the arc = 80 o or is <ABC = 80. And it is unresolvable. My suggestion is that you ask your teacher.
