120,000 renamed to ten thousand (10,000) is twelve ten thousand. Ten thousand in number form is 10,000. When you divide 120,000 (one hundred and twenty thousand) by 10,000 (ten thousand) you get 12. 120,000 (one hundred and twenty thousand) /10,000 (ten thousand) = 12. So there are twelve ten thousands in 120,000.
All you have to do is move the denominator on the other side, by multiplying.
a-10
------- = -9
20
multiply 20 x -9
= -180
then it becomes a-10=-180
+10 +10
a=-170
Answer:
The 95% confidence interval for the fraction of all shoppers during the year whose visit was because of a coupon they'd received in the mail is (0.2016, 0.2694).
Step-by-step explanation:
In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of
, and a confidence level of
, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

In which
z is the z-score that has a p-value of
.
A store randomly samples 603 shoppers over the course of a year and finds that 142 of them made their visit because of a coupon they'd received in the mail.
This means that 
95% confidence level
So
, z is the value of Z that has a p-value of
, so
.
The lower limit of this interval is:

The upper limit of this interval is:

The 95% confidence interval for the fraction of all shoppers during the year whose visit was because of a coupon they'd received in the mail is (0.2016, 0.2694).
