Alan has c pounds candy.
<span>He gives his friend Matt 2/3 of the candy he has.
So alan gets 2c/3 pounds

2c/3 = 4/9
⇒ c = 4/9 × 3/2 = 2/3 pound

Now alan has = 2/3 - 4/9 = 6-4 / 9 = 2/9 pound candy

For which sample size (n) and sample proportion (p) can a normal curve be
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

Option c.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the normal curve to approximate a sampling distribution:

For a sample size n and a proportion n, the normal curve can be used if:

np \geq 10 and n(1-p) \geq 10

Option a:

np = 35*0.8 = 28 > 10

n(1-p) = 35*0.2 = 7 < 10

So option a cannot be used.

Option b:

np = 65*0.9 = 58.5 > 10

n(1-p) = 65*0.1 = 6.5 < 10

So option b cannot be used.

Option c:

np = 65*0.8 = 52 > 10

n(1-p) = 65*0.2 = 13 > 10

So option c can be used, and is the answer

Option d:

np = 35*0.9 = 31.5 > 10

n(1-p) = 35*0.1 = 3.5 < 10

So option d cannot be used.

The answer is given by option c.

olga55 [171]
Hello!

For every 1 blue marble there are 5 greens

You add the numbers in the ratio

1 + 5 = 6

Divide this number from the amount of marbles

60 / 6 = 10

Multiply the ratio by this

1 * 10 = 10

5 * 10 = 50

There are 10 blue marbles and 50 green ones

The answer is 10

Hope this helps!
