Answer:

2967 yes votes

Step-by-step explanation:

Welcome to Brainly!

One way of doing this problem follows:

Find the ratio, r, mentioned in the problem statement.  To do this,

write the equation 3r + 5r = 7912 and solve this for r:

8r = 7912, so that r = 989.

Then the number of yes votes was 3(989), or 2967, and the number of no votes was 5(989), or 4947.

check:  Does the ratio 2967/4947 equal 3/5?  yes.

There were 2967 yes votes.

Answer:

x = -5 or x= 2

Step-by-step explanation:

|-4x-6| = 14

There are two solutions, one positive and one negative

-4x-6 = 14       -4x-6 = -14

Add 6 to each side

-4x-6+6 = 14+6       -4x-6+6 = -14+6

-4x = 20                      -4x = -8

Divide by -4

-4x/-4 = 20/-4               -4x/-4 = -8/-4

x = -5                                x = 2

Suppose you take an SRS of size 1000 of Connecticut students eligible to take the SAT and find that 85% plan to take the SAT dur

Answer:

\mu_{p}=p=0.81

Step-by-step explanation:

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

The population proportion have the following distribution

p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})

So under the null hypothesis the mean for the population proportion is p

\mu_{p}=p=0.81

And the standard deviationis given by:

\sigma_{p}=\sqrt{\frac{p_0(1-p_o)}{n}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.81(1-0.81)}{1000}}=0.0124

vazorg [7]

Answer:

50 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:'

given data

Non member must pay a 6$ per day

let number of days be x

cost = 6x

member of the club pay 1$ but must pay a yearly membership fee of 250

cost = 250+x

Step two

equate the two expression to find x

6x=250+x

6x-x= 250

5x=250

x= 250/5

x=50 days
