A school ordered 3 large boxes of board markers. After giving 15 markers to each of 3 teachers, there were 90 markers left. The diagram represents the situation. How many markers were originally in each box?

Tape diagram. Three equal parts labeled, x minus 15, total 90.

(From Grade7, Unit 6, Lesson 2.)

Problem 2

The diagram can be represented by the equation . Explain where you can see the 6 in the diagram.

Tape diagram, 1 part labeled 2, 6 parts labeled x, total 25.

(From Grade7, Unit 6, Lesson 3.)

Problem 3

Match each equation to a story. (Two of the stories match the same equation.)

Jada’s teacher fills a travel bag with 5 copies of a textbook. The weight of the bag and books is 17 pounds. The empty travel bag weighs 3 pounds. How much does each book weigh?

A piece of scenery for the school play is in the shape of a 5-foot-long rectangle. The designer decides to increase the length. There will be 3 identical rectangles with a total length of 17 feet. By how much did the designer increase the length of each rectangle?

52% of 1000 registered voters intend to vote for Steven Collins for mayor. Based on a 95% confidence interval, can we assume tha

Using the z-distribution, it is found that the correct option regarding the question in the problem is given by:

B. No, since the confidence interval includes values less than 50%, his opponent may get more votes.

<h3>What is a confidence interval of proportions?</h3>

A confidence interval of proportions is given by:

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which:

$\pi$ is the sample proportion.

z is the critical value.

n is the sample size.

In this problem, we have a 95% confidence level, hence $\alpha = 0.95$ , z is the value of Z that has a p-value of $\frac{1+0.95}{2} = 0.975$ , so the critical value is z = 1.96.
