Answer:

15 puppies

Step-by-step explanation:

A pet store sells puppies and kittens in the ratio 5 : 4

As per the ratio, total puppies and kittens is 5+4= 9

If their sales of puppies and kittens combined came to 27

The ratio of puppies to the total is 5:9

LEt x be the puppies sold

RAtio of puppies sold to the total is x: 27

Now make a proportion using the ratio and solve for x

\frac{5}{9} =\frac{x}{27}

cross multiply it

135=9x

Divide both sides by 9

x=15

S, 15 puppies

So puppies will be 5x and Kittens 4 x so they combined will be 5x+4x=27
9x=27
X=3

evablogger [386]

Answer:

98% confidence interval of the true proportion of all Americans who celebrate Valentine's Day

 (0.3672 , 0.7328)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>-

Given Random sample size n =40

Sample proportion

                            p = \frac{x}{n} = \frac{22}{40} = 0.55

98% confidence interval of the true proportion of all Americans who celebrate Valentine's Day

   

          (p-Z_{\alpha } \sqrt{\frac{pq}{n} } , p + Z_{\alpha } \sqrt{\frac{pq}{n} } )

         

The Z-value Z₀.₉₈ = Z₀.₀₂ = 2.326

98% confidence interval of the true proportion of all Americans who celebrate Valentine's Day

    (0.55-2.326\sqrt{\frac{0.55 X0.45}{40} } , 0.55 + 2.326\sqrt{\frac{0.55 X0.45}{40} } )

  ( 0.55 - 0.1828 , 0.55 + 0.1828)

  (0.3672 , 0.7328)
