5 sweets cost 30p.
1 sweet would cost = 30/5 = 6p.
7 sweets would then cost = 7 * 6 = 42p.

The best way to find out what 7 sweets cost, firstly, you should find out what one sweet would cost. You have 5 sweets, with a total cost of 30p. You should divide 30 by 5, giving you 6p per sweet. To get the cost of 7 sweets, you have to multiply 6p by 7, giving you 42p. Therefore, the cost of 7 sweets is 42p. Hope this helps :)

Answer:

60 students

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval of a proportion is given by:

$p\pm z*\sqrt{\frac{p*(1-p)}{n} }$

Where 'p' is the proportion of students who responded 'yes', 'z' is the z-score for a 95% confidence interval (which is known to be 1.960), and 'n' is the number of students in the sample.

If the confidence interval is from 0.584 to 0.816, then:

$p=\frac{0.584+0.816}{2}=0.7 \\0.816-0.584=2*(1.96*\sqrt{\frac{p*(1-p)}{n}}) \\0.116=1.96*\sqrt{\frac{0.7*(1-0.7)}{n}}\\n=16.8966^2*(0.7*0.3)\\n=60\ students$
