Answer:
2.45c + 1.65c = 4.12 + 0.75
Step-by-step explanation:
To write an equation to find the value for c, we need to declare what c is first.
c = price of fruit
2.45c + 1.65c = 4.12 + 0.75
Now we multiplied c to 2.45 and 1.65 and added them together, because whatever the value of c is will give us the equivalence of the sum of 4.12 + 0.75.
Now to check if the equation is right, let's solve for c.
2.45c + 1.65c = 4.12 + 0.75
4.1c = 4.87
Now to get the value of c, we divide both sides of the equation by 4.1.
c = 1.19
Now let's substitute the value of c in the equation to see if we got it right.
2.45(1.19) + 1.65(1.19) = 4.12 + 0.75
2.92 + 1.96 = 4.87
4.87 = 4.87
Therefore concluding that the value of c is 1.19.

Answer
a. True
Step-by-step explanation:
Based on this survey we estimate that about of the college students smokes. And a
confidence interval is
. So we know that
our estimative for the smoking rate is in the confidence interval with
certainty. We also know the estimative for the smoking rate in the general population is
. So we can write the two possible hypothesis:
Smoking rate is equal to
.
Smoking rate is not equal to
.
We will reject the null hypothesis if the estimate doesn't fall into the confidence interval for the college students smoking rate.
Since this condition holds we reject the null hypothesis. So with certainty we say that the smoking rate for the general population is different than the smoking rate for the college students.
