Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of mysteries solved=x, then according to question, number of mysteries Evan solved= $\frac{7}{9}x$ , also together they solve all the mysteries, thus

$14+\frac{7}{9}x=x$

$14=x-\frac{7}{9}x$

$14=\frac{9x-7x}{9}$

$14=\frac{2x}{9}$

$2x=126$

$x=63$

Thus, total number of mysteries solved=63.

Also, total number of mysteries Evan solved= $\frac{7}{9}x= \frac{7}{9}{\times}63=49$ .

Answer:

$CI = (0.17 - 0.27)\± 1.65\sqrt{\frac{(0.17)*(0.83) + (0.27)*(0.73)}{200}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$n = 200$

$x_1 = 34$ -- City C

$x_2 = 54$ --- City K

Required

Determine the 90% confidence interval

This is calculated using:

$CI = \bar x \± z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt n}$

Calculating $\bar x$

$\bar x = \bar x_1 - \bar x_2$

$\bar x = \frac{x_1}{n} - \frac{x_2}{n}$

$\bar x = \frac{34}{200} - \frac{54}{200}$

$\bar x = 0.17 - 0.27$

For a 90% confidence level, the z-score is 1.65. So:

$z = 1.65$

Calculating the standard deviation $\sigma$

$\sigma = \sqrt{(\bar x_1)*(1 - \bar x_1) + (\bar x_2)*(1 - \bar x_2) }$

So:

$\sigma = \sqrt{(0.17)*(1 - 0.17) + (0.27)*(1 - 0.27) }$

$\sigma = \sqrt{(0.17)*(0.83) + (0.27)*(0.73)}$

So:

$CI = (0.17 - 0.27)\± 1.65\frac{\sqrt{(0.17)*(0.83) + (0.27)*(0.73)}}{\sqrt {200}}$

$CI = (0.17 - 0.27)\± 1.65\sqrt{\frac{(0.17)*(0.83) + (0.27)*(0.73)}{200}}$

AABC - ADEF <br><br> Find the value of x

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

$\boxed{x = 4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

If ΔABC ~ ΔDEF

Then their sides must be proportional such that:

=> $\frac{x}{3} = \frac{8}{6}$

Cross Multiplying

=> x * 6 = 8*3

=> 6x = 24

Dividing both sides by 6

=> x = 4
