Answer:

Amy has 310 small marbles, 62 medium marbles and 188 large marbles.

Step-by-step explanation:

i) Let the number of small marbles be x

ii) let the number of medium marbles be y

iii) let the number of large marbles be z

iv) Amy has 5 times as many small marbles as medium marbles therefore we can write  5y = x

v) the number of large marbles is two more than than three times the number of medium marbles therefore we can write

   z = 3y + 2

vi) Amy has a total of 560 marbles therefore we can write x + y + z = 560

vii) Therefore from i) we can write x  = 5y

viii) using vii) and v) in vi) we can write

    x + y + z  = 5y + y + 3y + 2 = 560

ix) Therefore 9y = 558   .... therefore y = \frac{558}{9} = 62

x) Therefore from i) we get x  = y \times 5 = 62 \times 5 = 310

xi) Therefore z  = (3 \times 62) + 2 =  188

Amy has 310 small marbles, 62 medium marbles and 188 large marbles.

Solve the equation 5x + 7y = 35 for y.
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

D. y = -5/7x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 7y = 35

-5x          -5x

7y =  35 - 5x

/7      /7    /7

y = 35/7 - 5/7 x

y = 5 - 5/7x

A survey of 200 students is selected randomly on a large university campus. They are asked if they use a laptop in class to take
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of university students who use laptop in class to take notes is (0.2839, 0.4161).

Step-by-step explanation:

The (1 - <em>α</em>)% confidence interval for population proportion <em>P</em> is:

CI=p\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{p(1- p)}{n}}

The information provided is:

<em>x</em> = number of students who responded as"yes" = 70

<em>n</em> = sample size = 200

Confidence level = 95%

The formula to compute the sample proportion is:

p=\frac{x}{n}

The R codes for the construction of the 95% confidence interval is:

> x=70

> n=200

> p=x/n

> p

[1] 0.35

> s=sqrt((p*(1-p))/n)

> s

[1] 0.03372684

> E=qnorm(0.975)*s

> lower=p-E

> upper=p+E

> lower

[1] 0.2838966

> upper

[1] 0.4161034

Thus, the 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of university students who use laptop in class to take notes is (0.2839, 0.4161).
