1.A health magazine reported that 27% of adult males smoke cigarettes. A competing magazine thinks this claim is false. To test this claim, they select 40 adult males at random and record if they smoke cigarettes. They calculate a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of adult males who smoke and find it is 0.22 to 0.28. (a)Interpret the confidence interval. (b)Calculate the point estimate and margin of error used to create this confidence interval. i.Point estimate:_ii. iii. The margin of error:_(c)Based on the confidence interval, is it plausible that the true proportion of adult males who smoke cigarettes is 27%? Explain.

answer is the third choice:

3x^5+4x^4+x^3+2x^2-10x-7=0

step-by-step explanation:

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

step-by-step explanation:

94

step-by-step explanation:

average the numbers and use a variable to figure out the minimum to get a 90.

(79+94+91+92+x)/5=90

x = 94
