Answer:

126 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, ratio of people who preferred tea to those who preferred coffee = 9:5

Let number of people who preferred coffee = x

Number of people who preferred tea = x + 36

Total number of people in survey = x + (x+36)

Ratio of people who preferred tea to those who preferred coffee = (x + 36)/x = 9/5

Cross multiply to solve for x

5(x + 36) = x(9)

5x + 180 = 9x

Subtract 5x from both sides

180 = 9x - 5x

180 = 4x

Divide both sides by 4

180/4 = x

45 = x

x = 45

<em>Number of people who preferred coffee = x = 45</em>

<em>Number of people who preferred tea = x + 36 = 45 + 36 = 81</em>

<em>Total number of people in the survey = x + (x + 36) = 45 + 81 = 126 people</em>

Say you wanted to give someone 35000 berries, but every time you give someone berries, it takes away 30%. How could you calculat
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

What I understand is that I need to give someone an exact number so that when 30% is taken, they keep exactly 35,000

To make the statement above true, we would need to divide 35,000 by 7 since the answer would be 10% of the number we need. Once we do this we get 5000 which is 10% now we multiply 5000 by 10 to get 100% and we get 50.000 once we give this amount to the person and 30% is taken away they are left with 35,000

A population has a mean of 300 and a standard deviation of 40. Suppose a sample of size 100 is selected and is used to estimate
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

a: 0.9544 9 within 8 units)

b: 0.9940

Step-by-step explanation:

We have µ = 300 and σ = 40.  The sample size, n = 100.  

For the sample to be within 8 units of the population mean, we would have sample values of 292 and 308, so we want to find:

P(292 < x < 308).

We need to find the z-scores that correspond to these values using the given data.  See attached photo 1 for the calculation of these scores.

We have P(292 < x < 308) = 0.9544

Next we want the probability of the sample mean to be within 11 units of the population mean, so we want the values from 289 to 311.  We want to find

P(289 < x < 311)

We need to find the z-scores that correspond to these values.  See photo 2 for the calculation of these scores.

We have P(289 < x < 311) = 0.9940
