Answer:

8/32, 9/36

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a punch that is 1/4 of cranberry juice.

We have to write fraction equivalent to 1/4

Equivalent means simplified version of any expression

So, we have to find a fraction whose simplification leads to 1/4

8/32, 9/36

We can have plenty of such fractions

You can take the denominator which is four times of the numerator.

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

In traffic, she drove for 3 hours

and After the traffic cleared she drove for 2 hours.

Explanation:

Given that the road trip was 136 miles;

$d=136$

The first part of the trip there was lots of traffic, she only averaged 16 mph;

$v_1=16$

The second part of the trip there was no traffic so she could drive 44 mph;

$v_2=44$

She traveled for a total of 5 hours;

$t=5$

let x represent the time in traffic when she traveled at 16 mph

$t_1=x$

the time the traffic is clear would be;

$t_2=t-t_1=5-x$

Recall that distance equals speed multiply by time;

$d=v_1t_1_{}_{}^{}+v_2t_2$

substituting the values;

$136=16x+44(5-x)$

solving for x;

$\begin{gathered} 136=16x+220-44x \\ 44x-16x=220-136 \\ 28x=84 \\ x=\frac{84}{28} \\ x=3 \end{gathered}$

So;

$\begin{gathered} t_1=3\text{ hours} \\ t_2=5-x=5-3=2 \\ t_2=2\text{ hours} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, In traffic, she drove for 3 hours

and After the traffic cleared she drove for 2 hours.

Suppose that a researcher is designing a survey to estimate the proportion of adults in your state who oppose a proposed law tha

irinina [24]

Answer:

$n=\frac{0.5 (1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.02}{1.96})^2}= 2401$

So without prior estimation for the population proportion, using a confidence level of 95% if we want a margin of error about 2% we need al least a sample size of 2401.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The population proportion have the following distribution

$p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}})$

Solution to the problem

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:

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

If solve n from equation (a) we got:

$n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}$ (b)

The margin of error desired for this case is $ME= \pm 0.02$ equivalent to 2% points

For this case we need to assume a confidence level, let's assume 95%. And since we don't have prior estimation for the population proportion of interest the best value to do an approximation is $\hat p =0.5$

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the margin of error for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 95% of confidence, our significance level would be given by $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ . And the critical value would be given by:

$z_{\alpha/2}=\pm 1.96$

Now we have all the values needed and if we replace into equation (b) we got:

$n=\frac{0.5 (1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.02}{1.96})^2}= 2401$

So without prior estimation for the population proportion, using a confidence level of 95% if we want a margin of error about 2% we need al least a sample size of 2401.

Quadrilateral ABCD is similiar to quadrilateral EFGH. The lengths of the three longest sides in quadrilateral ABCD are 24 feet,

MatroZZZ [7]

The two quadrilaterals are given similar .

In any similar figure sides are in proportion.The second largest side of quadrilateral ABCD is 16 ft .Let the second longest side of quadrilateral EFGH be x ft. These sides will be in proportion to each other .

The second shortest side of quadrilateral EFGH that is GF will be proportional to the third longest side of quadrilateral ABCD that is BC

We can form a proportion with the proportional sides:

$\frac{16}{x} =\frac{12}{18}$

To solve for x we cross multiply

12x=(16)(18)

12x=288

Dividing both sides by 12 we get

x=24.

The second longest side of quadrilateral EFGH is 24 ft.
