Let red marbles = X.
The probability is 1 out of 5, written as 1/5
1/5 in terms of red marbles is equal to the number of red marbles divided by 5x, where 5x is the total number of marbles.
1/5 = x/5x
Now you have 5x total marbles, x red and 4x blue.
Add 5 more red and the new probability is:
(x+5)/(5x+5) = 1/3
Simplify:
3x+15 = 5x+5
Now solve for x:
Subtract 3x from both sides:
15 = 2x +5
Subtract 5 from each side:
2x = 10
Divide both sides by 2:
x = 10/2
X = 5
There were originally 5 red marbles.
Answer:
92.9997<
<99.5203
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the formula for calculating the confidence interval expressed as:
CI = xbar ± Z * S/√n where;
xbar is the sample mean
Z is the z-score at 90% confidence interval
S is the sample standard deviation
n is the sample size
Given parameters
xbar = 96.52
Z at 90% CI = 1.645
S = 10.70.
n = 25
Required
90% confidence interval for the population mean using the sample data.
Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we will have;
CI = 96.52 ± (1.645 * 10.70/√25)
CI = 96.52 ± (1.645 * 10.70/5)
CI = 96.52 ± (1.645 * 2.14)
CI = 96.52 ± (3.5203)
CI = (96.52-3.5203, 96.52+3.5203)
CI = (92.9997, 99.5203)
<em>Hence a 90% confidence interval for the population mean using this sample data is 92.9997<</em>
<em><99.5203</em>

Answer:
A. no
B. no
C. obtuse
Step-by-step explanation:
For side lengths to form a triangle, the sum of the shorter two must exceed the longest.
A. 5 + 8 = 13 . . . . a line segment, not a triangle
B. 7 + 12 < 26 . . . . no closure, not a triangle
C. 11 + 15 > 20 . . . . a triangle. A picture shows it to be obtuse
You can also compare 11² +15² vs 20² ⇒ 346 vs 400. The long side is too long for a right triangle, so the triangle must be obtuse. (The Pythagorean theorem tells you a right triangle with those legs would have a long side of √346 = 18.6.)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of boxes of cookies that Kendal bought to bring to the party is x.
Each box contains 12 cookies. This means that total number of cookies in x boxes would be
12 × x = 12x
She decides to keep two boxes for herself. This means that the total number of cookies that she kept for herself would be
12 × 2 = 24 cookies
She brings 60 cookies to the party.
The equation that can be used to find the number of boxes, x, Kendal bought would be
12x = 24 + 60
12x = 84
x = 84/12 = 7 boxes
