Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

(3 x)/4 = 9

Multiply both sides of (3 x)/4 = 9 by 4/3:

(4×3 x)/(3×4) = 4/3×9

4/3×3/4 = (4×3)/(3×4):

(4×3)/(3×4) x = 4/3×9

4/3×9 = (4×9)/3:

(4×3 x)/(3×4) = (4×9)/3

(4×3 x)/(3×4) = (3×4)/(3×4)×x = x:

x = (4×9)/3

9/3 = (3×3)/3 = 3:

x = 4×3

4×3 = 12:

Answer: x = 12

Shawna has been saving and now has exactly enough money to pay for the pink carpet that she wants in her room. She has $219.70.

enyata [817]

Answer:

169 feet²

$1.30

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Amount Shawna has = exact cost of carpet = $219.70

Length per wall = 13 feets

a) How many square feet of carpet will she need?

Number of square feet of carpet :

13 feets * 13 feets = 169 feet²

B.) Cost of each square foot :

Total cost / number of square feet

$219.70 / 169 feet²

= $1.30

Carly paid $17.50 for 7 gallons of gas and Jade paid $45 for 15 gallons of gas. Which of the following statements is true?

MissTica

First we have to find how much they spent on each gallon.
To find out how much Carly paid for each gallon we have to divide her total price by haw many gallons she got.
$17.50/7=$2.50 per gallon
Likewise we do the same for Jade
$45/15=$3

So the answer will be Jade paid more per gallon than Carly

In a random sample of 80 teenagers, the average number of texts handled in a day is 50. The 96% confidence interval for the mean

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

a) $\bar X =\frac{46+54}{2}=50$

And the margin of error is given by:

$ME= \frac{54-46}{2}= 4$

The confidence level is 0.96 and the significance level is $\alpha=1-0.96=0.04$ and the value of $\alpha/2 =0.02$ and the margin of error is given by:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

We can calculate the critical value and we got:

$z_{\alpha/2} = 2.05$

And if we solve for the deviation like this:

$\sigma = ME * \frac{\sqrt{n}}{z_{\alpha/2}}$

And replacing we got:

$\sigma =4 *\frac{\sqrt{80}}{2.05} =17.45$

b) $ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=2.05 *\frac{17.45}{\sqrt{160}}=2.828$

And as we can see that the margin of error would be lower than the original value of 4, the margin of error would be reduced by a factor $\sqrt{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X$ represent the sample mean

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

$\sigma$ represent the population standard deviation

n=80 represent the sample size

Solution to the problem

Part a

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

For this case we can calculate the mean like this:

$\bar X =\frac{46+54}{2}=50$

And the margin of error is given by:

$ME= \frac{54-46}{2}= 4$

The confidence level is 0.96 and the significance level is $\alpha=1-0.96=0.04$ and the value of $\alpha/2 =0.02$ and the margin of error is given by:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

We can calculate the critical value and we got:

$z_{\alpha/2} = 2.05$

And if we solve for the deviation like this:

$\sigma = ME * \frac{\sqrt{n}}{z_{\alpha/2}}$

And replacing we got:

$\sigma =4 *\frac{\sqrt{80}}{2.05} =17.45$

Part b

For this case is the sample size is doubled the margin of error would be:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=2.05 *\frac{17.45}{\sqrt{160}}=2.828$

And as we can see that the margin of error would be lower than the original value of 4, the margin of error would be reduced by a factor $\sqrt{2}$
