The sum of two numbers is 36. the first number is 1/5 of the second number. what are the numbers?

1 answer:

4 0

6 and 30. 6 is 1/5 of thirty. If the first number is x,that means that the second number is 5x. Combine like terms. 6x = 36. 36/6 = 6. x = 6. The first number is 6. the second number is 5x. Replace x with 6. 5 * 6 = 30. 30 is the second number.

What percent is equivalent to .41

vlabodo [156]

A percentage is always out of 100 and so if this is converted to a decimal, it is always out of 1.
The number has simply been divided by 100.
So to change a decimal to a percentage you simply multiply by 100.
So 0.41 x 100 = 41%

When 2251 voters were polled, 52% said they were voting yes on an initiative measure. find the margin of error and an interval t

expeople1 [14]

The margin of error for a sample proportion is given by
$z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{ \frac{p(1-p)}{n} }$
where: $z_{\alpha/2}$ is the z score associated with the confidence level, p is the sample prortion and n is the sample size.
We assume a confidence level of 95%, then $z_{\alpha/2}=1.96$
p = 52% = 0.52 and n = 2251

Therefore, margin of error =
$z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{ \frac{p(1-p)}{n} }= 1.96\times \sqrt{ \frac{0.52(1-0.52)}{2251} } \\ = 1.96\times \sqrt{ \frac{0.52(0.48)}{2251} } = 1.96\times \sqrt{ \frac{0.2496}{2251} } \\ = 1.96\times \sqrt{0.000110884} =1.96\times 0.0105 \\ =0.0206=2.1\%$

The the interval that is likely to contain the true population proportion is between 49.9% and 54.1%.
