Members of a rugby league are thinking about adding a new franchise in Silvergrove. They hired a polling firm to help gauge Silvergrove residents' interest in rugby. The firm contacted 475 randomly chosen Silvergrove residents and asked them whether they had ever attended a rugby match. Of 434 respondents had never attended a rugby match, estimate (including a margin of error) the proportion of the population of Silvergrove that never attended a rugby match.

The margin of error is 1/√n, where n is the number of people

Margin of error = 1/√475 = 0.0458

Multiply by 100 to get percent:

0.0458 x 100 = 4.58% round to 4.6%

The answer is c.

(b) 240

step-by-step explanation:

first, we use the pythagorean formula using the given side lengths to find x. then we use x to find the side lengths. then we add the side lengths to find the perimeter.

pythagorean theorem formula:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(x - 20)^2 + (x - 40)^2 = x^2

x^2 - 40x + 400 + x^2 - 80x + 1600 = x^2

x^2 -120x + 2000 = 0

(x - 100)(x - 20) = 0

x - 100 = 0 or x - 20 = 0

x = 100 or x = 20

we see that the solution x = 20 must be discarded because it will give a negative side length and a side length of 0. the only valid solution is x = 100.

perimeter = sum of the lengths of the sides

perimeter = x + x - 20 + x - 40

perimeter = 3x - 60

replace x with 100.

perimeter = 3(100) - 60

perimeter = 300 - 60

perimeter = 240
