True [87]3 years ago

Answer:

  300

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of adults in the zoo at 12 pm. Then the number of children at that time is 855 -x.

The number of remaining children is 1/5 of the number at 12 pm, so is ...

  (855 -x)/5

The number of remaining adults is 1/4 of the number at 12 pm, so is ...

  x/4

There are 36 more remaining children, so we have ...

  (855 -x)/5 -x/4 = 36

  171 -9x/20 = 36 . . . . . collect terms

  135 = 9x/20 . . . . . . . . add (9/20)x-36

  (20/9)(135) = x = 300 . . . . . multiply by 20/9

There were 300 adults in the zoo at 12 pm.

Answer:

12) y=3x-15

14) y=-1/2x

16) y=13x-105

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines always have the same slopes but different y-intercepts. So, we can make the equation (b is y-intercept of new equation):

12) y=3x+b

14) y=-1/2x+b

16) y=13x+b

now, we can plug in each of the coordinates given to these equations.

12) (4,-3): 4 is x, -3 is y.

       -3=3(4)+b

      simplify: b= -15

14) (-4,2): -4 is x, 2 is y

      2=-1/2(-4)+b

        simplify: b=0

16) (9,12): 9 is x, 12 is y

       12=13(9)+b

       simplify: b=-105

Now, plug in those numbers to your equation for b value.

12) y=3x-15

14) y=-1/2x

16) y=13x-105

*for 14 we don't need to write anything after -1/2x because b=0*

suppose a consumer advocacy group would like to conduct a survey to find the proportion p of consumers who bought the newest gen
Zepler [3.9K]

The size of the sample they should take to estimate p with a 2% margin of error and 90% confidence is n = 1691.

In statistics, the margin of error is just the degree of a significant error in the outcomes of random sample surveys.

The formula of margin error is, E = z√((p-vector)(1 - (p-vector)) ÷ n)

E = 2% = 0.02

Confidence level = 90%

Now, the proportion is not given so adopt nominal (p-vector) = 0.05

The critical value at CL of 90% is 1.645.

Thus, making n the subject,

n = z²(((p-vector) × (1 - (p-vector))) ÷ E²)

n = 1.645²((0.5 × 0.5) ÷ 0.02²)

n = 1691.266

n ≈ 1691
