Answer:

There are 48 children.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :There are 3 times as many boys as girls.

There are 24 more boys than girls,

To Find : how many children are there?

Solution:

Let the number of girls be x

Now we are given that there are 3 times as many boys as girls.

So, no. of boys = 3x

Now we are given that there are 24 more boys than girls.

So, $3x-x=24$

$2x=24$

$x=12$

So, no. of girls = 12

No. of boys = 3x = 3(12) = 36

Now the total no. of children = 12+36 = 48

Hence there are 48 children.

Suppose a simple random sample of size nequals36 is obtained from a population with mu equals 74 and sigma equals 6. (a) Descri

OlgaM077 [116]

Part a)

The simple random sample of size n=36 is obtained from a population with

$\mu = 74$

and

$\sigma = 6$

The sampling distribution of the sample means has a mean that is equal to mean of the population the sample has been drawn from.

Therefore the sampling distribution has a mean of

$\mu = 74$

The standard error of the means becomes the standard deviation of the sampling distribution.

$\sigma_ { \bar X } = \frac{ \sigma}{ \sqrt{n} } \\ \sigma_ { \bar X } = \frac{ 6}{ \sqrt{36} } = 1$

Part b) We want to find

$P(\bar X \:>\:75.9)$

We need to convert to z-score.

$P(\bar X \:>\:75.9) = P(z \:>\: \frac{75.9 - 74}{1} ) \\ = P(z \:>\: \frac{75.9 - 74}{1} ) \\ = P(z \:>\: 1.9) \\ = 0.0287$

Part c)

We want to find

$P(\bar X \: < \:71.95)$

We convert to z-score and use the normal distribution table to find the corresponding area.

$P(\bar X \: < \:71.95) = P(z \: < \: \frac{71.9 5- 74}{1} ) \\ = P(z \: < \: \frac{71.9 5- 74}{1} ) \\ = P(z \: < \: - 2.05) \\ = 0.0202$

Part d)

We want to find :

$P(73\:$

We convert to z-scores and again use the standard normal distribution table.

$P( \frac{73 - 74}{1} \:< \: z$

Зn - 3 = 4n + 1<br>step by step<br>

JulsSmile [24]

Answer: n = -4

3n - 3 = 4n + 1

Add 3 to both sides

3n = 4n + 4

Subtract 4n from both sides

-n = 4

Divide by -1 on both sides

n = -4
