What is the value of x? Show your work. (The JKL and MNP picture)

Mathematics

Answer:

x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

Triangles JKL and MNP are similar by AA Similarity Theorem

so

Remember that

If two figures are similar then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional

so

\frac{JK}{MN}=\frac{JL}{MP}

substitute the given values

\frac{25}{30}=\frac{20}{4x-4}

solve for x

Simplify

4x-4=\frac{30}{25}(20)

4x-4=24

4x=24+4

4x=28

x=7

In this case the answer would be the last option

because it is shrunk by 2/3 on just the x side

D is the only one who has that first transformation

A university dean is interested in determining the proportion of students who receive some sort of financial aid. Rather than ex
Olenka [21]

Answer:

a

 The  90% confidence interval that  estimate the true proportion of students who receive financial aid is

     0.533  <  p <  0.64

b

   n = 1789

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering question a

From the question we are told that

      The sample size is  n = 200

      The number of student that receives financial aid is k = 118

Generally the sample proportion is  

      \^ p = \frac{k}{n}

=>   \^ p = \frac{118}{200}

=>   \^ p = 0.59

From the question we are told the confidence level is  90% , hence the level of significance is    

      \alpha = (100 - 90 ) \%

=>   \alpha = 0.10

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value  of \frac{\alpha }{2}  is  

   Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  1.645

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as  

     E =  Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \sqrt{\frac{\^ p (1- \^ p)}{n} }

 =>E =  1.645 * \sqrt{\frac{0.59 (1- 0.59)}{200} }

=>  E = 0.057

Generally 90% confidence interval is mathematically represented as  

      \^ p -E <  p <  \^ p +E

  =>  0.533  <  p <  0.64  

Considering question b

From the question we are told that

    The margin of error  is  E = 0.03

From the question we are told the confidence level is  99% , hence the level of significance is    

      \alpha = (100 - 99 ) \%

=>   \alpha = 0.01

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value  of   is  

   Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 2.58

Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as      

        [\frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }}{E} ]^2 * \^ p (1 - \^ p )

=>      n = [\frac{2.58}{0.03} ]^2 * 0.59 (1 - 0.59 )

=>      n = 1789
