Answer: 45

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the ratio of their share is 2 : 1 , Let Sarah's share be x , then Caroline's share will be 2x.

Since Caroline gets 45 more than Sarah , then

2x = x + 45 ,

2x - x = 45

x = 45

This means that Sarah's share is 45 and Caroline's share will be 90

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

ratio of 2:1....total of 3....so caroline gets 2/3 of the money and sarah gets 1/3 of the money. Let the total amount of money be x.

so caroline = 2/3x and sarah = 1/3x

caroline gets 45 more then sarah

2/3x = 1/3x + 45

2/3x - 1/3x = 45

1/3x = 45

x = 45 * 3

x = 135.....so the total money is $ 135

caroline gets 2/3 of it.......2/3(135) = 270/3 = $ 90

sarah gets 1/3 of it......1/3(135) = 135/3 = $ 45 <===

An important factor in selling a residential property is the number of times real estate agents show a home. A sample of 23 home

liberstina [14]

Using the t-distribution, it is found that the 95% confidence interval for the mean number of people the houses were shown is (20.1, 27.9).

We have the standard deviation for the sample, hence the t-distribution is used to build the confidence interval. Important information are given by:

Sample mean of $\overline{x} = 24$ .
Sample standard deviation of $s = 9$ .
Sample size of $n = 23$

The confidence interval is:

$\overline{x} \pm t\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which t is the critical value for a 95% confidence interval with 23 - 1 = 22 df, thus, looking at a calculator or at the t-table, it is found that t = 2.0739.

Then:

$\overline{x} - t\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 24 - 2.0739\frac{9}{\sqrt{23}} = 20.1$
