Answer:

1 adult cat

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Thursday:</u>

The ratio of adult cat to kitten at a pet care center on Thursday was 4:3.

Number of adult cats = 4x

Number of kitten cats = 3x

There were 12 kittens, then

3x=12\\ \\x=\dfrac{12}{3}\\ \\x=4\\ \\4x=4\cdot 4=16

There were 16 adult cats

<u>Tuesday:</u>

17 adult cats were at the pet care center.

<u>Difference:</u>

17-16=1 adult cat

Answer:

<em>a:b:c=8:12:15</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Combined Ratio</u>

We are given the ratios:

a:b=2:3

b:c=4:5

The combined ratio a:b:c will include all three variables in one single expression.

Before finding it, we must have a common number for the common variable (b). Since b is 3 in the first ratio and 4 in the second ratio, we must equate both by finding the LCM of 3 and 4=12, thus both ratios will be amplified as follows:

a:b=2:3=(2*4):(3*4)=8:12

b:c=4:5=(4*3):(5*3)=12:15

Now there is a common factor in both ratios, we can combine them removing the common factor:

a:b:c=8:12:15

Several years​ ago, 38​% of parents who had children in grades​ K-12 were satisfied with the quality of education the students r
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

0.428 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.428(1-0.428)}{1165}}=0.3995

0.428 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.428(1-0.428)}{1165}}=0.4564

We are confident that the true proportion of people satisfied with the quality of education the students receive is between (0.3995, 0.4564), since the lower value for this confidence level is higher than 0.38 we have enough evidence to conclude that the parents' attitudes toward the quality of education have changed.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we are interesting in the parameter of the true proportion of people satisfied with the quality of education the students receive

The confidence level is given 95%, the significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.95=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025. And the critical values are:

z_{\alpha/2}=-1.96, z_{1-\alpha/2}=1.96

The estimated proportion of people satisfied with the quality of education the students receive is given by:

\hat p =\frac{499}{1165}= 0.428

The confidence interval for the proportion if interest is given by the following formula:  

\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}

And replacing the info given we got:

0.428 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.428(1-0.428)}{1165}}=0.3995

0.428 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.428(1-0.428)}{1165}}=0.4564

We are confident that the true proportion of people satisfied with the quality of education the students receive is between (0.3995, 0.4564), since the lower value for this confidence level is higher than 0.38 we have enough evidence to conclude that the parents' attitudes toward the quality of education have changed.
