Using a confidence interval, we have that:

a) The range is from 48.8% to 51.2%.

b) Between 125,000 and 131,000 adults are registered organ donors.

<h3>What is a confidence interval?</h3>

A confidence interval is given by the <u>estimate plus/minus the margin of error</u>.

For this problem, we have that:

  • The estimate is of 50%.
  • The margin of error is of 1.2%.

The bounds of the range are given as follows:

  • 50% - 1.2% = 48.8%.
  • 50% + 1.2% = 51.2%.

Hence the range is from 48.8% to 51.2%.

<h3>What are the total numbers?</h3>

We have to find <u>48.8% and 51.2% of 255,200,373</u>, hence:

  • 0.488 x 255,200,373 = 124,537,782.
  • 0.512 x 255,200,373 = 130,662,591.

Rounded to hundredth thousand, between 125,000 and 131,000 adults are registered organ donors.

Rahul solved the equation 2(x – ) – 2 left-parenthesis x minus StartFraction 1 Over 8 EndFraction right-parenthesis minus StartF
Ghella [55]

Rahul use addition property of equality in step 2.

Solution:

The image of the question is attached below.

Step 1:

$2 x-\frac{1}{4}-\frac{3}{5} x=\frac{55}{4}

combine like terms together.

$2 x-\frac{3}{5} x-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{55}{4}

To make the denominator same multiply and divide 2x by 5.

$\frac{10}{5} x-\frac{3}{5} x-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{55}{4}  

Step 2:

$\frac{7}{5} x-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{55}{4}

By addition property of equality, add \frac{1}{4} on both side of the equation.

$\frac{7}{5} x-\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{55}{4}+\frac{1}{4}

Step 3:

$ \frac{7}{5} x=\frac{56}{4}

Step 4:

Multiply by \frac{5}{7} on both side of the equation.

x=10

Hence Rahul use addition property of equality in step 2.
