8 litres (amount of 20% solution needed) and 7 litres for (amount of 50% solution needed)

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let consider ‘x’ for 20% acid solution and (15 – x) for 50% acid solution. And so, the equation would be as below,

                         20% in x + 50% in (15 – x) = 15 litres of 34%

Convert percentage values, we get

                              0.20(x) + 0.50 (15 – x) = 15 (0.34)

                              0.20 x + 7.5 – 0.50 x = 5.1

                              -0.3 x + 7.5 = 5.1

                              0.3 x = 7.5 – 5.1

                              0.3 x = 2.4

x = \frac{2.4}{0.3} = 8 litres (amount of 20 \% solution needed)

Apply ‘x = 8’ value in (15 – x) we get,

                         15 – 8 = 7 litres

The value of 7 litres for (amount of 50% solution needed)

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

The point estimate for the proportion of women with BRCA1 mutation is 0.168

Step-by-step explanation:

The point estimate for the proportion of women with BRCA1 mutation is the number of women with this mutation divided by the size of the sample.

Of the 173, they found that 29 had BRCA1 mutations.

29/173 = 0.168

The point estimate for the proportion of women with BRCA1 mutation is 0.168
