Answer:Boys=5,girls =2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b be the no of boys and g be the no of girls

Therefore

Sam has twice as many brothers as sisters

2g=b-1

b-2g=1--------------1

Amanda has five times as many brothers as sisters

5(g-1)=b

5g-b=5----------------2

using (1) & (2) we get

g=2

b=5

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

common ratio=18/-3=-108/18=-6, a=-3

sn=a(r^n-1)(r-1)

sn=-3((-6)^n-1)(-6-1)

sn=-3(-6)^8-1)/(-7)

s8=-3(1679615)/(-7)

s8=719836

A random sample of 100 automobile owners in thestate of Virginia shows that an automobile is driven onaverage 23,500 kilometers
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

a) 22497.7 < μ< 24502.3

b)  With 99% confidence the possible error will not exceed 1002.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Mean (μ) = 23500 kilometers per year

Standard deviation (σ) = 3900 kilometers

Confidence level (c) = 99% = 0.99

number of samples (n) = 100

a) α = 1 - c = 1 - 0.99 = 0.01

\frac{\alpha }{2} =\frac{0.01}{2}=0.005\\ z_{\frac{\alpha }{2}}=z_{0.005}=2.57

Using normal distribution table, z_{0.005 is the z value of 1 - 0.005 = 0.995 of the area to the right which is 2.57.

The margin of error (e) is given as:

e= z_{0.005}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }  = 2.57*\frac{3900}{\sqrt{100} } =1002.3

The 99% confidence interval = (μ - e, μ + e) = (23500 - 1002.3, 23500 + 1002.3) =  (22497.7, 24502.3)

Confidence interval = 22497.7 < μ< 24502.3

b) With 99% confidence the possible error will not exceed 1002.3
