An equation is formed of two equal expressions. The cost of a new book is $7.43, while the cost of an old book is $8.86.

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is formed when two equal expressions are equated together with the help of an equal sign '='.

Given the cost of 14 used books is $124. Therefore, the cost of a single used book is,

Cost of single used book(u) = 124/14 = $8.86

Also, the cost of 12 used books and 4 new books is $136. Therefore, the equation can be written as,

12u + 4n = 136

12(8.85) + 4n = 136

106.2 + 4n = 136

n = $7.43

Hence, the cost of a new book is $7.43, while the cost of an old book is $8.86.

He takes a random sample of 49 recent charterholders and computes a mean salary of $172,000 with a standard deviation of $35,000
uysha [10]

Answer:

the 90% of confidence intervals for the average salary of a CFA charter holder

 (1,63,775 , 1,80,000)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Explanation</u>:-

random sample of n = 49 recent charter holders

mean of sample (x⁻) =  $172,000

standard deviation of sample( S) = $35,000

Level of significance α= 1.645

<u> 90% confidence interval</u>

(x^{-} - Z_{\alpha } \frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } , x^{-} + Z_{\alpha } \frac{s}{\sqrt{n} })

(172000 - 1.645 \frac{35000}{\sqrt{49} } , 172000 +1.645 \frac{35000}{\sqrt{49} })

on calculation , we get

(1,63,775 , 1,80,000)

The mean value lies between the 90% of confidence intervals

(1,63,775 , 1,80,000)

A Gallup Poll used telephone interviews to survey a sample of 1030 U.S. residents over the age of 18 regarding their use of cred
Vlada [557]

Answer:

The 95% margin of error for this estimate is 0.0274 = 2.74 percentage points.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

The margin of error is:

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

95% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.05, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975, so Z = 1.96.

72% of Americans said that they had at least one credit card

This means that p = 0.72

Give the 95% margin of error for this estimate.

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

M = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.72*0.28)}{1030}} = 0.0274

The 95% margin of error for this estimate is 0.0274 = 2.74 percentage points.

prisoha [69]

Answer:

a = -49

Step-by-step explanation:

a+|-23+6|=-32

Simplify the absolute value term

a+|-17|=-32

a+17=-32

Subtract 17 from each side

a +17-17 = -32-17

a = -49
