1985year ->275cell phones->100%
1994year -> x cell phones ->100%+360%
40% • (1994-1985)= 40% • 9= 360%

275 cell phone 100%
X cell phones. 100+360%=460%
x=275•460%/100%
x=12420/100
x=1265
99% sure this is a correct answer

x=275 • 460%/100%
x=12,420/100
x=1265

1994-1985= 9 yrs • 40%= 360%

<u><em>Answer: x<-6 *The answer should be the negative sign.*</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

subtraction property of equality is subtracting the same number from both sides of an equation does not change the equation.

subtract 5 both sides of an equation.

5-2x-5>17-5

simplify.

-2x>12

multiply by -1 both sides of an equation.

(-2x)(-1)<12(-1)

simplify.

2x<-12

divide by 2 both sides of an equation.

2x/2<-12/2

-12/2=-6

12/2=6

6*2=12

12/6=2

x<-6

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a great day!

According to a recent study of 7335 young people in the US, 30% had been arrested for a crime other than a traffic violation by

Answer:

a) Statistic.

b) The population proportion is expected to be between 0.29 and 0.31 with a 94% degree of confidence.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The proportion of 30% is a statistic, as it is a value that summarizes data only from the sample taken in the study from USA Today. Other samples may yield different proportions.

b) We can use the statistic to estimate a confidence interval for the parameter of the population.

The standard error for the proportion is calculated as:

$\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{N}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.3\cdot 0.7}{7335}}=\sqrt{2.83\cdot10^5}= 0.00535$
