Step-by-step explanation:
Note that the entire segment RT is the combined lengths of RS and ST. So:
We know that RT is 108, RS is (9y+5), and ST is (3y+7). Substitute:
On the right, combine like terms:
Add:
Subtract 12 from both sides. The right cancels:
Divide both sides by 12:
So, the value of y is 8.
To find RS and ST, substitute 8 for y. So:
Substitute 8 for y:
Multiply:
Add:
Do the same for ST:
Substitute 8 for y:
Multiply:
Add:

Step-by-step explanation:
Based on this survey we estimate that about of the college students smokes. And a
confidence interval is
. So we know that
our estimative for the smoking rate is in the confidence interval with
certainty. We also know the estimative for the smoking rate in the general population is
. So we can write the two possible hypothesis:
Smoking rate is equal to
.
Smoking rate is not equal to
.
We will reject the null hypothesis if the estimate doesn't fall into the confidence interval for the college students smoking rate.
Since this condition holds we reject the null hypothesis. So with certainty we say that the smoking rate for the general population is different than the smoking rate for the college students.
