so two fellows did all the carpeting in 10 days.

now, how long did "1" fellow work only? well, it worked for 10 days.

how long did the other fellow work for? well, it was working alongside the first one, and it was there for also 10 days.

so the two guys working together, really did 10+10 = 20 "days worth of work". So that the whole carpeting job can be done in 20 "days worth of work".

now if we want to finish it in 4 days, 20 ÷ 4 = 5.

so if we hire 5 guys, since each one will do 4 days worth, 5*4 = 20 <- the whole job.

Answer:

5 worker

Step-by-step explanation:

Two men complete carpeting = 10 days

Total time taken to complete the work= Number of men× Number of days

Total time taken to complete the work= 2×10

Total time taken to complete the work= 20

Let x number of men complete the work in 4 days

According to question

4×x= 20

x= 20÷4

x=5 men

Number of 5 worker are required to complete the work in 4 days

Please help, basic algebra. Find the value of x

Helga [31]

Answer: x = 131

Reasoning: Alternate interior angle theorem

The angles shown are inside the parallel lines, so they are interior angles. They are also considered alternate angles because they are on alternating sides of the transversal cut. Alternate interior angles are congruent when we have parallel lines like this.

Life rating in Greece. Greece has faced a severe economic crisis since the end of 2009. A Gallup poll surveyed 1,000 randomly sa

elena-s [515]

Answer:

The population parameter of interest is the true proportion of Greek who are suffering

While the point estimate of this parameter is proportion of those that would rate their lives poorly enough to be considered "suffering". which is 25%

The condition is met

The 95% confidence interval is $0.223 < p < 0.277$

If the confidence level is increased which will in turn reduce the level of significance but increase the critical value( $Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }$ ) and this will increase the margin of error( deduced from the formula for margin of error i.e $E \ \alpha \ Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }$ ) which will make the confidence interval wider

Looking at the formula for margin of error if the we see that if the sample size is increased the margin of error will reduce making the confidence level narrower

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The sample size is n = 1000

The population proportion is $\r p = 0.25$

Considering question a

The population parameter of interest is the true proportion of Greek who are suffering

While the point estimate of this parameter is proportion of those that would rate their lives poorly enough to be considered "suffering". which is 25%

Considering question b

The condition for constructing a confidence interval is

$n * \r p > 5\ and \ n(1 - \r p ) >5$

$1000 * 0.25 > 5 \ and \ 1000 * (1-0.25 ) > 5$

$250 > 5 \ and \ 750> 5$

Hence the condition is met

Considering question c

Given that the confidence level is 95% then the level of significance is mathematically evaluated as

$\alpha = 100 - 95$

$\alpha = 5 \%$

$\alpha = 0.05$

Next we obtain the critical value of $\frac{\alpha }{2}$ from the normal distribution table, the value is

$Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.96$

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

$E = Z_\frac{ \alpha }{2} * \sqrt{ \frac{\r p (1 - \r p ) }{n} }$

substituting values

$E = 1.96 * \sqrt{ \frac{ 0.25 (1 - 0.25 ) }{ 1000} }$

$E = 0.027$

The 95% confidence interval is mathematically represented as

$\r p - E < p < \r p + E$

substituting values

$0.25 - 0.027 < p < 0.25 + 0.027$

substituting values

$0.223 < p < 0.277$

considering d

considering e

Looking at the formula for margin of error if the we see that if the sample size is increased the margin of error will reduce making the confidence level narrower
