a. The population for the study is a total of 1000 adults, so the 50% that favored the plan made up a total of 500 people, since 500 is 1/2 (or 50%) of 1000.

b. The percentage provided is an inferential statistic. Inferential statistics are made by taking a sample of a population and using that sample as data used to make inferences/predictions. Since the percentage provided is a sample of a population being used to make a prediction, it is an inferential statistic.

If y varies inversely as x and y=3 when x=14, find x when y=6​
alukav5142 [94]
X=7 What you can do is look at the first two values given, and make them x1 and y1. Then your next value here is y2.

So x1 is 14, and y1 is 3. y2 becomes 6. X2 is unknown.

Then make the formula: x1/y2 is equal to x2/y1
(You are setting two fractions equal to each other)

That makes 14/6=X/3. When we cross multiply, we find that x=7.
