There are 50 kids taking archery at Bentwood Summer Camp. If 25% of the kids are taking archery, how many kids are at Bentwood S

kakasveta [241]

Using the properties of percentages we can calculate that there are 200 kids in the archery camp that summer.

Long before the decimal numeral system, Ancient Rome routinely computed in fractions as multiples of 1/100.

A percentage is a dimensionless (pure) number; it has no unit of measurement.

The % value is determined by multiplying the numerical value of the ratio by 100. To calculate 50 apples as a percentage of 1250 apples, first compute 50/1250 = 0.04, then multiply by 100 to get 4%.

Let the total number of kids in the camp be x.

The number of kids who took archery = 25%

But 50 students took archery.

hence 25% of x = 50

Solving we infer:

x = 200

Therefore there are 200 kids in the camp.

A shelter in the city house birds and dogs . There are 25% more dogs then birds. If there are 50 birds how many dogs are there?

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

They have 83 dogs and 50 birds.

There are 133 animals in total in the shelter.

Step-by-step explanation:

So let's call the dogs D and the birds B.

D = 25% + B

What ever the amount of animals, the total for D must always be 25% more than B.

To get 100% of the animals, B must equal 37.5% and D must equal 62.5%.

The way I worked this out was:

100% - 25%= 75%

75% divided by 2= 37.5%

37.5% + 25%= 62.5%

And just to check

37.5% + 62.5% = 100%

So to work out 100%:

37.5% = 50

divide both by 37.5 to get 1%

1% = 1.333333

time both by 62.5 to get 62.5%

62.5% = 83.333313

We'll round that answer because I'm pretty sure they don't have a .333313th of a dog.

So D = 62.5% = 83

They have 83 dogs and 50 birds.

Phew! That was the hard part. Now onto something wayyy easier.

To get the total number of animals in the shelter we just do 83 + 50, which is 133.

There are 133 animals in total in the shelter.

Hope this helps you :)

Of 585 samples of seafood purchased from various kinds of food stores in different regions of a country and genetically compared

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

a) The 99% confidence interval is from 14.8% to 23.2%.

b) The confidence interval tells us that the true proportion of mislabeled is within 14.8% and 23.2%, with a 99% confidence. In other words, if we take samples of the same size, 99% of the samples will have a proportion within 0.148 and 0.232.

c) The confidence interval calculation take into account the sample size, so the width (or precision) of the interval depends on the sample size.

The only criticism that could be analyzed is to see if the sample is representative of the population.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We have to calculate a 99% confidence interval for the proportion.

The sample proportion is p=0.19.

The standard error of the proportion is:

$\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.19*0.81}{585}}\\\\\\ \sigma_p=\sqrt{0.000263}=0.016$

The critical z-value for a 99% confidence interval is z=2.576.

The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:

$MOE=z\cdot \sigma_p=2.576 \cdot 0.02=0.042$

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

$LL=p-z \cdot \sigma_p = 0.19-0.042=0.148\\\\UL=p+z \cdot \sigma_p = 0.19+0.042=0.232$

The 99% confidence interval for the population proportion is (0.148, 0.232).
