lbvjy [14]

Using proportions, considering the total number of students, it is found that 216 boys to linking their school lunch.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

In this problem, 400 - 152 = 248 boys were surveyed. 32 said they liked the school lunch and 248 - 32 = 216 said no liking their school lunch.

Marine scientists categorize signature whistles of bottlenose dolphins by typelong dash—type ​a, type​ b, type​ c, etc. In one s
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

The 95​% confidence interval for the true proportion of bottlenose dolphin signature whistles that are type a whistles is (0.4687, 0.6123).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

For this problem, we have that:

n = 185, \pi = \frac{100}{185} = 0.5405

95% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.05, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975, so Z = 1.96.

The lower limit of this interval is:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.5405 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5405*0.4595}{185}} = 0.4687

The upper limit of this interval is:

\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.5405 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5405*0.4595}{185}} = 0.6123

The 95​% confidence interval for the true proportion of bottlenose dolphin signature whistles that are type a whistles is (0.4687, 0.6123).

Eve is making a bird house. To make the walls she takes a piece of wood and cuts it into 4 pieces in the ratio 5:6:6:7. The long
allsm [11]

Answer:

The original piece of wood is 108 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given ratio, the shortest is of the ratio 5 and the longest is of the ratio 7

Let the original piece of wood be x

so the sum of the ratios will be;

5 + 6 + 6 + 7 = 24

the shortest length would be 5/24 * x

= 5x/24

the longest will be 7/24 * x = 7x/24

From the question;

7x/24 -5x/24 = 9

(7x-5x) = 24(9)

2x = 24(9)

x = (24 * 9)/2

x = 108 cm
