Answer:

5:4

Step-by-step explanation:

If point B divides the segment AC in the ratio 2:1, then

AB=2x units and BC=x units.

If point D divides the segment AB in the ratio 3:2, then

AD=3y units and DB=2y units.

Since AD+DB=AB, then

$3y+2y=2x\\ \\5y=2x\\ \\y=\dfrac{2}{5}x$

Now,

$AD=3y\\ \\DC=DB+BC=2y+x=2y+\dfrac{2}{5}y=\dfrac{12}{5}y$

So,

$AD:DC=3y:\dfrac{12}{5}y=15:12=5:4$

Answer:

AD:DC=6:9

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

AB:BC=2:1

AD:DB=3:2

We can conclude that:

AB+BC=AC

Then:

AB=2/3AC

BC=1/3AC

AD+DB=AB

Then

AD=3/5AB

DB=2/5AB

From the above we can replace:

AD=(3/5)(2/3AC)=6/15AC

On the other hand:

DC= DB+BC

DC=2/5AB+1/3AC

In terms of AC

DC=((2/5)(2/3AC))+1/3AC=4/15AC+1/3AC

DC=27/45AC=9/15AC

From:

AD=6/15AC

DC=9/15AC

we can say that:

AD:DC=6:9

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

0.9036

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation to determine the probability that the proportion of Labradors

P(Proportion greater than 4%)

= P(z> 0.04 -0.05 /√0.05 * 0.95/806

= P(z > -1.30)

=0.9036

Thereforethe probability that the proportion of Labradors is =0.9036

laurens suv was detected exceeding the posted speed limit of 60 kilometers per hour , how many kilometers would she have been tr

Vlada [557]

Answer:

60 kilometers per hour (kmph) over the limit

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed limit is 60 kmph

Let's find his original rate:

We know D = RT

Where

D is the distance, in km

R is the rate, in kmph

T is the time in hours

He went 10 km in 5 minutes, so we need the time in hours, first. That would be:

5/60 = 1/12 hour

So, putting into formula, we find rate:

D = RT

10 = R(1/12)

R = 10/(1/12)

R = 10 * 12

R = 120 kmph

He was going over by:

120 - 60 = 60 kmph

Answer:

Confidence interval: (0.04649,0.04913)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample size, n = 100,000

Number of people who donated, x = 4781

$\hat{p} = \dfrac{x}{n} = \dfrac{4781}{100000} = 0.04781
$

95% Confidence interval:

$\hat{p}\pm z_{stat}\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}$

$z_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.05} = 1.96$

Putting the values, we get:

$0.04781
\pm 1.96(\sqrt{\dfrac{0.04781
(1-0.04781
)}{100000}})\\\\=0.04781
\pm 0.00132\\\\=(0.04649,0.04913)$

is the required 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of their entire mailing list who may donate.
