The residents of a city voted on whether to raise property taxes. The ratio of yes votes to no votes was

1 answer:

6 0

The formula would be set up as ratios (or fractions). The first ratio is 6:5, which in total is 11. There were 6 yes out of 11, so the fraction = 6/11.

The second fraction has a total of 5918, however you do not know the amount of yes votes, so the variable placeholder will be called "x".

The final formula would be:
6/11 = x/5918

You do cross multiplication and you get:
11x = 35508. You divide both sides, and you get x = 3228.

Because x is the placeholder for the amount of yes votes, and x = 3228, the amount of yes votes is 3228

Answer:

The mean is 0.54 and the standard deviation is 0.0135.

Step-by-step explanation:

i) the mean of the sampling distribution is 0.54

ii) the mean for the sampling distribution, p = 0.54

iii) therefore for the sampling distribution, q = ( 1 - 0.54) = 0.46

iv) the sample size of the distribution, n = 1356

v) $the\hspace{0.1cm} standard\hspace{0.1cm} deviation\hspace{0.1cm} s = \sqrt{\frac{p\times q}{n} } = \sqrt{\frac{0.54\times 0.46}{1356} } = 0.0135$
