Answer:

$11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Ben has b,

sean has s

alexis has a

samantha has s

Money.

We need to write the words into equations and solve as we can.

b + s + a + s = 47

b + s = 27

b + a = 25

b + s = 23

We need to find a.

Let's put 2nd equation in first, to get:

27 + a + s = 47

a + s = 20 ---------- 5th equation

Now let's solve 4th equation for b and put it into 3rd equation:

b + s = 23

b = 23 - s

Putting in 3rd equation:

23 - s + a = 25

a - s = 2 ---------------6th equation

Now, add up 5th and 6th equation to get a:

a + s = 20

a - s = 2

-------------

2a = 22

a = 22/2 = 11

Alexis got $11

Several years​ ago, 50​% of parents who had children in grades​ K-12 were satisfied with the quality of education the students r
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the proportion of parents that are satisfied with their children's education is (0.4118, 0.4618). 0.5 is not part of the confidence interval, so this represents evidence that​ parents' attitudes toward the quality of education have changed.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to see if 50% = 0.5 is part of the confidence interval.

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

For this problem, we have that:

n = 1095, \pi = \frac{478}{1095} = 0.4365

95% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.05, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975, so Z = 1.96.

The lower limit of this interval is:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.4365 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.4365*0.5635}{1095}} = 0.4118

The upper limit of this interval is:

\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.4365 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.4365*0.5635}{1095}} = 0.4612

The 95% confidence interval for the proportion of parents that are satisfied with their children's education is (0.4118, 0.4618). 0.5 is not part of the confidence interval, so this represents evidence that​ parents' attitudes toward the quality of education have changed.
