Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
-For a known standard deviation, the sample size for a desired margin of error is calculated using the formula:

Where:
is the standard deviation
is the desired margin of error.
We substitute our given values to calculate the sample size:

Hence, the smallest desired sample size is 23
Answer:
I think it may be B (d-$5 )
No, because 64 does not go into 180 evenly.
Answer: <u>4 pounds</u> of brand X sugar
====================================================
Reason:
n = number of pounds of brand X sugar
5n = cost of buying those n pounds, at $5 per pound
Brand Y costs $2 per pound, and you buy 8 lbs of it, so that's another 2*8 = 16 dollars.
5n+16 = total cost of brand X and brand Y combined
n+8 = total amount of sugar bought, in pounds
3(n+8) = total cost because we buy n+8 pounds at $3 per pound
The 5n+16 and 3(n+8) represent the same total cost.
Set them equal to each other. Solve for n.
5n+16 = 3(n+8)
5n+16 = 3n+24
5n-3n = 24-16
2n = 8
n = 8/2
n = 4 pounds of brand X sugar are needed
-------------
Check:
n = 4
5n = 5*4 = 20 dollars spent on brand X alone
16 dollars spent on brand Y mentioned earlier
20+16 = 36 dollars spent total
n+8 = 4+8 = 12 pounds of both types of sugar brands combined
3*12 = 36 dollars spent on both types of sugar brands
The answer is confirmed.
--------------
Another way to verify:
5n+16 = 3(n+8)
5*4+16 = 3(4+8)
20+16 = 3(12)
36 = 36
Answer:
11, 12.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let q represent number of quarters.
We have been given that Caroline has a maximum of 15 coins worth at least $2.85 combined. We are also told that Caroline has 3 dimes. This means that total coins are less than or equal to 15.
We can represent this information in an inequality as:

We are also told that the coins worth at least $2.85 combined. This means that the worth of all coins is greater than or equal to 2.85.
We know that each dime is worth $0.10 and each quarter is worth $0.25.

Now, let us solve our system of inequalities.
From 1st inequality, we will get:


From 2nd inequality, we will get:





Upon combining our both inequalities, we will get:

This means that numbers of quarters would be greater than or equal to 10.2 and less than or equal to 12.
Since we cannot have 0.2 of a coin, therefore, Caroline could have 11 or 12 quarters.
