In a University of Wisconsin (UW) study about alcohol abuse among students, 100 of the 40,858 members of the student body in Mad

ison were sampled and asked to complete a questionnaire. One question asked was, "On how many days in the past week did you consume at least one alcoholic drink?" a. Identify the population and the sample. b. For the 40,858 students at UW, one characteristic of interest was the percentage who would respond "zero" to this question. For the 100 students sampled, suppose 29% gave this response. Does this mean that 29% of the entire population of UW students would make this response? Explain.

Answer:

a) The population is 40,858 students and the sample is 100.

b) No

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The population would be the 40,858 members of the student body. Since we are only applying the questionnaire to 100 students, the sample would be 100.

b) 29% of the students answered "zero" to the question on how many days in the past week they consumed at least one alcoholic drink. This means that 29 out of 100 students gave this answer. However, this doesn't mean that 29% of the entire population of UW would give this response. Why is that? Because our sample is very small so it might not be representative of the whole population. Equally, the results from such a sample cannot be exactly the same results we would get from an entire population.

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

48 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the complete question is "The ratio of ages of kissi and esinam is 3:5 and that of esinam and lariba is 3:5. The sum of ages of all 3 is 147 years. whats the age difference between oldest and youngest ?"

It is given that

Kissi : Esinam = 3:5 = 9:15

Esinam : Lariba = 3:5 = 15:25

So, the combined ratio is Kissi : Esinam : Lariba = 9:15:25

Let ages of Kissi, Esinam, Lariba are 9x, 15x and 25x.

Sum of ages of all 3 is 147 years.

9x+15x+25x=147

49x=147

x=3

The value of x is 3. So, the age of all three are

Kissi=9x=9(3)=27

Esinam=15x=15(3)=45

Lariba=25x=25(3)=75

Since Lariba is oldest and Kissi is youngest, therefore, the difference between their ages is

75-27=48

Hence, difference between oldest and youngest is 48 years.

Joan pays 456.25 monthly on her mortgage. If her annual insurance premium is 1,560 and her annual real estate tax is 1,890, what
defon
The combined payment is 743.75.

The annual amount of insurance is 1560.  Dividing this by 12 gives us the monthly amount paid:
1560/12 = 130.

The annual real estate taxes are 1890.  Dividing this by 12 gives us the monthly amount paid:
1890/12 = 157.50

We add these to the monthly mortgage payment to find the total amount:
456.25+130+157.50 = 743.75
