Answer:

b. 11 apples; 1 orange

Step-by-step explanation:

We test each option, and see if the total is $3.50(what you spend). If the result is different, it is not a possible solution.

a. 1 apple; 11 oranges

1 apple for $0.20

11 oranges for $0.30 each

0.20 + 11*0.30 = $3.50

Possible solution

b. 11 apples; 1 orange

11 apples for $0.20 each

1 orange for $0.30

11*0.2 + 0.3 = 2.5

Not $3.5, so this is not a possible solution.

This is the answer

c. 7 apples; 7 oranges

7*0.2 + 7*0.3 = $3.5

Possible

d. 4 apples; 9 oranges

4*0.2 + 9*0.3 = $3.5

Possible

1/2,1/3,1/8 find the sum
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

23/24

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the sum you must ad.

Fractions can only be added and subtracted when the denominators (the bottom numbers) are the same.

24 is the smallest number that 2, 3 and 8 go into.

1/2 = 12/24, 1/3 = 8/24, 1/8 = 3/24

\frac{12}{24} + \frac{8}{24} + \frac{3}{24} = \frac{23}{24}

23/24

A production manager randomly sampled production lines at a factory that produces automobiles. She wanted to find out how many p
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

The confidence interval for the proportion of production lines that caused defects is (0.07, 0.09).

Step-by-step explanation:

A confidence interval for a population proportion is a function of the sample proportion and the margin of error.

The interval has two bounds, a lower bound and an upper bound.

The lower bound is the sample proportion subtracted by the margin of error.

The upper bound is the margin of error added to the sample proportion.

In this problem, we have that:

Sample proportion 0.08

Margin of error 0.01

0.08 - 0.01 = 0.07

0.08 + 0.01 = 0.09

The confidence interval for the proportion of production lines that caused defects is (0.07, 0.09).
