A political action committee wanted to estimate the proportion of county residents who support a change to the county leash law.

They took a random sample of 600 county residents and found that the proportion who wanted to change the law was 30% with a margin of error of 4% (based on 95% confidence). This implies:
Select one:

a. We believe that the true proportion of county residents who want the law changed is between 26% and 34%
b. We can not conclude anything about the population parameter since this is only a sample.
c. If we took another sample of 600 residents the sample proportion would definitely be between 26% and 34%
d. There is a 95% chance that the true parameter is 30%
e. If we take many other samples from this population 95% of them will have a sample proportion that is between 26% and 34%.

Answer:

a. We believe that the true proportion of county residents who want the law changed is between 26% and 34%

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample point estimate, at a 95% percent confidence level, gives the political action committee an estimate of the true proportion of residents who support a change to the county leash law within a margin of error.

If the point estimate was 30% with a margin of error of 4%, there's a 95% chance that the true proportion is between 26% and 34%.

Therefore, the correct answer is: a. We believe that the true proportion of county residents who want the law changed is between 26% and 34%

How many kilograms of a 5% salt solution and how many kilograms of a 15% salt solution must be mixed together to make 45kg of an
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

31.5 kilograms of a 5% salt solution and 13.5 kilograms of a 15% salt solution must be mixed together to make 45kg of an 8% salt solution .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the number of kilograms of a 5% salt solution used be x .

Let us assume that the number of kilograms of a 15% salt solution used be y .

As given

A 5% salt solution and 15% salt solution must be mixed together to make 45kg of an 8% salt solution .

Equation becomes

x + y = 45

5% is written in the decimal form .

= \frac{5}{100}

= 0.05

15% is written in the decimal form .

= \frac{15}{100}

= 0.15

8% is written in the decimal form .

= \frac{8}{100}

= 0.08

Thus

Concentration of 5% salt solution × Number of kilograms of 5% salt solution used + Concentration of 15% salt solution × Number of kilograms of  15% solution used = Concentration of 8% salt solution × Number of kilograms of 8% salt solution

Thus

0.05x + 0.15y = 0.08 × 45

Simplify the above

\frac{5x}{100} + \frac{15y}{100} = \frac{8\times 45}{100}

5x + 15y = 360

Thus two equations becomes

x + y = 45

5x + 15y = 360

Multiply x + y = 45 by 5 and subtracted from 5x + 15y = 360 .

5x - 5x + 15y - 5y = 360 - 225

10y = 135

y = \frac{135}{10}

y = 13.5 kilograms

Put value of y in the equation

x + 13.5 = 45

x = 45 - 13.5

x = 31.5 kilograms

Therefore the 31.5 kilograms of a 5% salt solution and 13.5 kilograms of a 15% salt solution must be mixed together to make 45kg of an 8% salt solution .

Write an equation of the line with the given slope and y intercept: m = 2, b = - 3/4​
Alex

Answer:

y = 2x - 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Adapt the slope-intercept form:  y = mx + b.

Making the indicated substitutions, we get

y = 2x - 3/4

What is the benefit of dividing out greatest common factors (GCFs) before multiplying?
Nina [5.8K]
Lets get an example, for this example lets use 24/30 x 30/60
Without dividing out GCFs  you would get 24x12 over 30 x 60 which is 288/1800
With dividing out GCFs you get 2/1 x 5/1 Which is 7 :)
