First, make up some variables to represent the number of Girls and Boys in the choir.  

B = number of boys
G = number of girls

You know that there are 4 times as many girls in the choir as boys.  Therefore, the equation you can write is:
\frac{B}{G} =  \frac{1}{4}

If you cross-multiply, then you get the simplified equation:
G = 4B

Intuitively this makes sense since if you multiplied the number of boys in the class by 4, that would be equal to the number of girls you have.

Now, we know that the total class size is 60. So girls plus boys equals 60:
G+B = 60

To solve the equation, replace the G in this equation with the replacement you found before, 4B.
G + B = 60 -->
4B + B = 60 -->
5B = 60 -->
B = 12

However, you are trying to find the number of girls, so plug the answer back into your equation.
G + B = 60 -->
G + 12 = 60 -->
G + 12 -12 = 60 - 12 -->
G = 48

The number of girls you have is 48.

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is right use the tangent ratio to find x

tan22° = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} = \frac{203}{x}

Multiply both sides by x

x × tan22° = 203 ( divide both sides by tan22° )

x = \frac{203}{tan22} ≈ 502.5 m → B

A researcher wishes to be 95% confident that her estimate of the true proportion of individuals who travel overseas is within 3%
andre [41]

Answer:  a) 683   b) 1067

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval for population proportion is given by :-

p\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}

a) Given : Significance level :\alpha=1-0.95=0.05

Critical value : z_{\alpha/2}}=\pm1.96

Margin of error : E=0.03

Formula to calculate the sample size needed for interval estimate of population proportion :-

n=p(1-p)(\dfrac{z_{\alpha/2}}{E})^2\\\\=0.2(0.8)(\dfrac{1.96}{0.03})^2=682.951111111\approx683

Hence, the required sample size would be 683 .

b) If no estimate of the sample proportion is available then the formula to calculate sample size will be :-

n=0.25(\dfrac{z_{\alpha/2}}{E})^2\\\\=0.25(\dfrac{1.96}{0.03})^2=1067.11111111\approx1067

Hence, the required sample size would be 1067 .

What if we say that x's value is 2. Do 2x and x to the second power have the same value?
Basile [38]
Yes. Substitute 2 for x.

We have
2x=2(2)=2^2=4
x^2=2^2=2(2)=4
