Start by distributing the 4:
12-8x=15
Add 8x to both sides of the equation and subtract 15 from both sides:
8x=-3
divide both sides by 8 to get the value of x:
x=-3/8
Answer:
a) Increase the sample size
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a 95% confidence interval for μ turns out to be (1,000, 2,100)
The confidence interval is formed as

Margin of error = critical value * std dev/sqrt of sample size
Hence for the same confidence level, we cannot change critical value.
The only available ways are either to decrease std deviation or increase the sample size to make it narrower.
If confidence level becomes higher, then confidence interval would be wider.
Here out of four options the correct option is
a) Increase the sample size
Answer: 6
Step-by-step explanation: You would divide 4 by 3 and divide your answer by 2.
Given:
Roses: 22
Daisies: 12
Carnation: 16
22 + 12 + 16 = 50 flowers in one bouquet
The ratio of the roses to the total number of flowers in the bouquet is 22/50 or simplified to 11/25
Ratio of daisies to carnations is 12:16 or 3:4.
Number of carnations to add to make the ratio into 1:3
12:x = 1:3
12*3 = x
36 = x
36 - 16 = 20 additional carnations.
There must be an additional 20 carnations to make the ratio of daisies to carnation 1:3.
12:36 = 1:3
