About 12% of children are nearsighted. A school district will be testing the vision of 170 incoming kindergarten children.
What proportion of these kids should we expect to be nearsighted (p-hat)?

about 21 kids out of 170 are expected to be nearsighted (20:170)

Step-by-step explanation:

we find 12% out of 70 by muliplying 170 x 0.12 which equals 20.4

However it has to round up because we cant have half a child so 21 children.

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
