<em><u>Lee sold 40 magazines</u></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation Model:

Let m be the number of magazines Lee sold.

150%-130%=20%, so if 0.2m=8 then m=40

Let me show another way: In the image above 20% is equal to 8 so if we use 8 and 20% and try to reach our way up to 100% (How much Lee sold in total) then we will get our answer.

20%=8

40%=16

60%=24

80%=32

100%=40

Therefore Lee sold 40 magazines.

Hope that makes sense! If you have any more questions or need further clarification then please comment down below or message me! Good luck!

If we wanted to create a new 90% confidence interval from a different sample for the proportion of those with a two on one date

slava [35]

Answer: 271

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula we use to find the sample size is given by :-

$n=p(1-p)(\dfrac{z_{\alpha/2}}{E})^2$

, where $z_{\alpha/2}$ is the two-tailed z-value for significance level of $(\alpha)$

p = prior estimation of the proportion

E = Margin of error.

If prior estimation of the proportion is unknown, then we take p= 0.5 , the formula becomes

$n=0.5(1-0.5)(\dfrac{z_{\alpha/2}}{E})^2$

$n=0.25(\dfrac{z_{\alpha/2}}{E})^2$

Given : Margin of error : E= 0.05

Confidence level = 90%

Significance level $\alpha=1-0.90=0.10$

Using z-value table , Two-tailed z-value for significance level of $0.10$

$z_{\alpha/2}=1.645$

Then, the required sample size would be :

$n=0.25(\dfrac{1.645}{0.05})^2$

Simplify,

$n=270.6025\approx271$

Hence, the required minimum sample size =271

2x + y = 15 x + y = 10

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

2x+y=15x+y=10

Consider the first equation. Subtract 15x from both sides.

2x+y−15x=y

Combine 2x and −15x to get −13x.

−13x+y=y

Subtract y from both sides.

−13x+y−y=0

Combine y and −y to get 0.

−13x=0

Divide both sides by −13. Zero divided by any non-zero number gives zero.

x=0

Consider the second equation. Insert the known values of variables into the equation.

15×0+y=10

Multiply 15 and 0 to get 0.

0+y=10

Anything plus zero gives itself.
