Answer:

We sold 161 more products than our competitors.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to find the number of products that we sold. Given that our competitors sold 350 products last month and we sold 46% more, we can think this as that we sold 146 % relative to our competitors.

We can write the following relationship :

$\frac{350}{100}=\frac{x}{146}$

Given that the 350 products represent 100%.

Solving the equation for x :

$\frac{350}{100}=\frac{x}{146}\\x=\frac{(350).(146)}{100}=511$

Therefore, 511 products are the 146% If 350 products are 100%.

We conclude that we sold 511 products.

Now the difference

$511-350=161$ products

Expresses how many more we sold in comparison to our competitors. The number is 161 products.

<span>Find out how much is 46% of 350 and add this number to 350 to get the number of products we sold. 46 % of 350 = 350 * 46/100 (46% is converted intro a fraction) = 161. The number of products we sold = 350 + 161 = 511</span>

Rosetta wants to estimate the percentage of people who rent their home. She surveys 250 individuals and finds that 48 rent their

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

$0.192 - 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.192(1-0.192)}{250}}=0.151$

$0.192 + 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.192(1-0.192)}{250}}=0.233$

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

$X= 48$ number of people who rent their home

$n= 250$ represent the sample size

$\hat p =\frac{48}{250}= 0.192$ represent the proportion of people who rent their home

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 90% of confidence, our significance level would be given by $\alpha=1-0.90=0.1$ and $\alpha/2 =0.05$ . And the critical value would be given by:

$z_{\alpha/2}=\pm 1.645$

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}$

If we replace the values obtained we got:

$0.192 - 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.192(1-0.192)}{250}}=0.151$

$0.192 + 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.192(1-0.192)}{250}}=0.233$

Carly placed 50 marbles in a bag. Fifteen of the marbles are pink, 8 marbles are black,

yuradex [85]

When you go into this problem, you want to figure out your marble ammount to 50 so in this case we will say C for color and 50 for the total ammount of marbles.

We know 15 are pink, 8 are black, 2 are green, 18 are clear, and 7 are striped

15P/50

8B/50

2G/50

18C/50

7S/50 for a total of 50 marbles

Now we use the chart to decide our awnsers

A. We know our propability of drawing a green and clear is 20/50 which if we simplify is a 2/5 ratio. If We put this in perspective 2/5 is rare and is unlikley to even.

B. We know a striped marble is 18/50 or 1.8/5 ratio which is mainly unlikely

C. We have 23/50 marbles that are black and pink, our propability is about 2.3/5 and gives us an even chance to get one of these

D. We know we have 33/50 marbles that are pink and clear and gives us a 3.3/5 chance of getting one of these and gives us an even to likely chance of getting one of these.

E. If we have a total of 17 marbles in these 3 colors, we have a 1.7/5 chance of getting one of these and is probably impossible to unlikey.

What is the product of any number, x, multiplied by 1? explain how you know

gulaghasi [49]

Any number multiplied by 1 is the number. Think about it this way. If I have 1 group of 8 apples, how many apples do I have? I have 8 apples :)
