X=number of boys.
y=number of girls.
we suggest this system of equation
x/y=9/7
x=y+116
We solve this system of equation by substitution method.
(y+116)/y=9/7
7(y+116)=9y
7y+812=9y
9y-7y=812
2y=812
y=812/2=406

x=y+116
x=406+116=522

answer: At the school there are 522 boys and 406 girls.

to chek.
522/406=1.2857...
9/7=1.2857...

The number of boys (522) is equal to 406+116=522.

Let x be a number of boys and y be a number of girls.
Then x:y=9:7, that is 7x=9y; and we have x-y=116.
Thus, x=116+y
7(116+y)=9y
7*116+7y=9y
2y=7*116
y=7*58=406
x=406+116=522
Total number of students is x+y=522+406=928.

The probability of event A is x, and the probability of event B is y. If the two events are independent, which of these conditio
zzz [600]

If two events are independent, then

Pr(A\cap B)=Pr(A)\cdot Pr(B).

Use formulas for conditional probabilities:

Pr(A|B)=\dfrac{Pr(A\cap B)}{Pr(B)},\\ \\ Pr(B|A)=\dfrac{Pr(A\cap B)}{Pr(A)}.

For independent events these formulas will be:

Pr(A|B)=\dfrac{Pr(A\cap B)}{Pr(B)}=\dfrac{Pr(A)\cdot Pr(B)}{Pr(B)}=Pr(A),\\ \\ Pr(B|A)=\dfrac{Pr(A\cap B)}{Pr(A)}=\dfrac{Pr(A)\cdot Pr(B)}{Pr(A)}=Pr(B).

Now in your case Pr(A)=x,\ Pr(B)=y and Pr(A|B)=x,\ Pr(B|A)=y, Pr(A\cap B)=x\cdot y.

This shows that the only correct choice is A.

snow_lady [41]

We reject our null hypothesis, H₀, at a level of significance of =0.01 since the P-value is less than that threshold. There is compelling statistical data to indicate that since 1991, the proportion of drivers who love driving has decreased.

Given,

The Pew Research Center recently polled n=1048 U.S. drivers and found that 69% enjoyed driving their automobiles.

In 1991, a Gallup poll reported this percentage to be 79%. using the data from this poll, test the claim that the percentage of drivers who enjoy driving their cars has declined since 1991.

To report the large-sample z statistic and its p-value,

Null hypothesis,

H₀ : p = 0.79

Alternative hypothesis,

Ha : p < 0.79

Level of significance, α = 0.01

Under H₀

Test statistic,

Z_0= \frac{\hat p - p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} }  }

Z₀ = -7.948

The alternative hypothesis(Ha) is left-tailed, so the P-value of the test is given by

P-value = P(z <-7.945)

            = 0.000     (from z-table)

Since the P-value is smaller than given level of significance, α=0.01 we reject our null hypothesis, H₀, at α=0.0.1 level Strong statistical evidence to conclude that the percentage of drivers who enjoy driving their cars has declined since 1991.
