Researchers are studying two populations of sea turtles. In population D, 30 percent of the turtles have a shell length greater

than 2 feet. In population E, 20 percent of the turtles have a shell length greater than 2 feet. From a random sample of 40 turtles selected from D, 15 had a shell length greater than 2 feet. From a random sample of 60 turtles selected from E, 11 had a shell length greater than 2 feet. Let pˆD represent the sample proportion for D, and let pˆE represent the sample proportion for E.
(a) What is the value of the difference pˆD−pˆE? Show your work.

Answer:

p^D-p^E=0.192  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Population D:

30% of the turtles have a shell length greater than 2 feet.

Sample size,

n_D = 40

Number of turtles that had shell length greater than 2 feet,

x_D = 15

Sample proportion:

p^D=\dfrac{x_D}{n_D} =\dfrac{15}{40} = 0.375

Population E:

20% of the turtles have a shell length greater than 2 feet.

Sample size,

n_E = 60

Number of turtles that had shell length greater than 2 feet,

x_E = 11

Sample proportion:

p^E=\dfrac{x_E}{n_E} =\dfrac{11}{60} = 0.183

We have to find the difference between the sample proportion.

Difference in sample proportion =

=p^D-p^E\\=0.375-0.183\\=0.192

The quotient of n and 12 subtracted from 100?
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

100 - 12/n

Step-by-step explanation:

quotient means division so

12/n

and subtracted from means say x - 12/n so

100 - 12/n

If you're looking to evaluate it then it would be

4(25n - 3) / n

Jenna has a savings account invested in stocks and bonds. 20% of her savings is in bonds. If Jenna has $2,200 in bonds, how much
VladimirAG [237]

Answer: Her total savings are equal to $11,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation.

The total savings (x) multiplied by the percentage in bonds (in decimal form) must be equal to $2,200.

Mathematically speaking:

x (20/100) = 2,200

Solving for x:

x = 2,200/ 0.2

x = $11,000

Her total savings are equal to $11,000.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
