More than​ 75% of Americans answer yes when​ asked, "Do you favor cracking down against illegal gun​ sales?" but more than​ 75% say no when​ asked, "Would you favor a law giving police the power to decide who may own a​ firearm?"

a. Which statistic would someone who opposes gun control prefer to​ quote?

b. Explain what is wrong with the wording of each of these statements.

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the case "Gun control"

(a). The second option,

"Would you favor a law giving police the power to decide who may own a​ firearm?"

is more favourable question to be asked for someone who opposes gun control.

Because it is expected that most americans would answer that they opposes that giving the police so much power and would likely to oppose Gun Control.

(b). How a Survey question is worded affects the result. Advocates who can afford to sponsor their own surveys can shape the result to try to demostrate support for their position.

Gun Control advocates may phrase a question

"Do you favour cracking down against illegal  gun sales?"

While gun control opposition would ask

"Would you favour or oppose  alaw giving the police the power to decide who may or may not own a firearm?"

Both question could result in both side of the issue appearing to having the majority of the people supporting their position. In this example a public opinion seems to divide into minorities at the 2 extremes, some favoring a ban on all guns others oppose any Gun COntrol. and a large middle mass that, presumably, favours keeping guns out of the hands of "Bad" people while letting "Good" people have guns.

The complexity of public opinion can be hard to recognize when our information comes from surveys sponsored by advocates who word questions to produce the results they desire.

What is the difference between 4/5- 1/2 *

Answers

Answer:

0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

3/10

Step-by-step explanation:

1. find the lowest common denominator which is 10.

2. for 4/5 you have to multiply 5 by 2 in order to get 10, so you multiply the numerator by 2 as well which gives you 8/10.

3. for 1/2 you have to multiply 2 by 5 in order to get 10, so you multiply the numerator by 5 also which gives you 5/10

4. you work out the difference between both numerators which is 3 and keep the denominator the same

7d^2

Answer: choice A) [tex]7d^2[/tex]

This is the same as writing 7d^2

==================================================

Explanation:

When we add a number to itself repeatedly, we can use multiplication to shorten things. For example: 3+3+3+3 = 5*3 = 15. We have five copies of '3' being added, which explains the 5 times 3.

Extending this idea leads us to shortening repeated multiplications into exponentiations. In the case of [tex]7*d*d[/tex], we have two copies of 'd' being multiplied. We replace [tex]d*d[/tex] with [tex]d^2[/tex] which is the same as d^2. The ^ symbol means "exponent".

The exponent (2) tells us how many copies of the base (the term d) we multiply out.

Another example would be [tex]d^3 = d*d*d[/tex]

So that's why [tex]7*d*d = 7d^2[/tex]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]tan33=544/x\\ \\ x=\frac{544}{tan33}m\\ \\ x\approx 837.7m[/tex]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  999 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the lift line represents the hypotenuse of a right triangle. The side opposite the given angle is the height of the mountain. The applicable trig relation is ...

  Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

We want to find the hypotenuse, so we use the rearranged form ...

  hypotenuse = (mountain height)/sin(33°)

  lift length = (544 m)/sin(33°) ≈ 998.83 m

The length of the lift from bottom to top is about 999 meters.

Answers

2 Answers: Choice D and choice E

=============================================================

Explanation:

Let's go through the answer choices one by one to see which are true and which are false.

A) This is false because -6.7 is to the left of -6.2 on the number line.B) This is false for similar reasoning as choice A.C) This is false because -6.7 < -6.2 means that -6.7 is the smaller value.D) This is true. The value -6.2 is larger than -6.7; we can say that -6.7 < -6.2 is the same as -6.2 > -6.7 (note the two sides swap places and the inequality sign flips).E) This is true and it's directly from -6.7 < -6.2; the inequality sign has the pointed edge aimed at the smaller value, while the non-pointed side is aimed at the larger value. You can think of an alligator's mouth that represents the < sign. The alligator will eat the larger value each time, so this is where the mouth faces.F) This is false since it contradicts choice E above. I recommend drawing out a number line to help see why -6.7 < -6.2 is a true statement.
