Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You aren't able to figure out an exact number of either footballs or basketballs because you don't have enough information for that, but you do have enough to get an expression for one in terms of the other, which I imagine is the point here.  We know that for every 1 basketball sold, we sold 2.5 footballs, so the algebraic expression for that is

1 bball = 2.5 fballs

This gives us the number of bballs in terms of fballs but we want the number of fballs in terms of bballs, so solve that expression for fballs:

1 fball = 1/2.5 bballs

or, in words, for every single football sold, 2/5 of a basketball was sold.  Sounds silly, but I think your teacher is trying to get you to figure out how to express one thing in terms of another so you can use the expressions in solving story problems.

In 2015 as part of the General Social Survey, 1289 randomly selected American adults responded to this question:
Radda [10]

Answer:

B (0.312, 0.364)

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 interval 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:

1289 randomly selected American adults responded to this question. This means that n = 1289.

Of the respondents, 436 replied that America is doing about the right amount. This means that \pi = \frac{436}{1289} = 0.3382.

Determine a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all the registered voters who will vote for the Republican Party. ​

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}} = 0.3382 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.3382*0.6618}{1289}} = 0.312

The upper limit of this interval is:

\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.3382 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.3382*0.6618}{1289}} = 0.364

The 95% confidence interval is:

B (0.312, 0.364)
