$\bold{\huge{\orange{\underline{ Solution }}}}$

$\bold{\underline{ Given \: Rules}}$

The sum of the number in each of the four rows is the same
The sum of the numbers in each of the three columns is the same
The sum of any row does not equal the sum of any column

$\bold{\underline{ Let's \: Begin}}$

According to the Second rule :-

$\sf{ 75+b+83=76+80+d=a+81+85+78+c+e }$

$\sf{ 158 + b = 156 + d = 166 + a = 78 + c + e ...(1)}$

According to the first rule :- 

$\sf{ 75+76+a+78 = b+80+81+c = 83+86+d+e}$

$\sf{ 229 + a = 161 + b + c = 168 + d + e ...(2)}$

From ( 1 ) we got :-

$\sf{ 158 + b = 166 + a, 156 + d = 166 + a }$

$\sf{ b = 166 - 158 + a, d = 166 - 156 + a }$

$\sf{ b = 8 + a, d = 10 + a ...(3)}$

Subsitute (3) in ( 2 ) :-

$\sf{229+a = 161+8+a+c = 168+10+a+e}$

$\sf{ 229+a = 169+a+c = 178+a+e}$

We can write it as :-

$\sf{ 229+a = 169+a+c \:or\:229+a = 178+a+e}$

$\sf{ c = 299-169+a-a\:or\:e = 229-178+a-a}$

$\sf{ c = 60 \: and \: e = 51 }$

Subsitute the value of c and e in ( 1 ):-

$\sf{ 158 + b = 156 + d = 166 + a = 78 + 60 + 51 }$

$\sf{ 158 + b = 156 + d = 166 + a = 189}$

Now, 

$\sf{ For \: b, 158 + b = 189 }$

$\sf{ b = 189 - 158 }$

$\sf{ b = 31}$

$\sf{ For \: d , 156 + b = 189 }$

$\sf{ d = 189 - 156 }$

$\sf{ d = 33}$

$\sf{ For \: a, 166 + a = 189 }$

$\sf{ a = 189 - 166 }$

$\sf{ a = 23 }$

Hence, The value of a, b, c, d and e is 23, 31 ,60 ,33 and 51 .

Answer:

a) $n=\frac{0.76(1-0.76)}{(\frac{0.01}{1.64})^2}=4905.83$

And rounded up we have that n=4906

b) For this case since we don't have prior info we need to use as estimatro for the proportion $\hat p =0.5$

$n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.01}{1.64})^2}=6724$

And rounded up we have that n=6724

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to remember that the confidence interval for the true proportion is given by :

$\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}$

Part a

The estimated proportion for this case is $\hat p =0.76$

Our interval is at 90% of confidence, and the significance level is given by $\alpha=1-0.90=0.1$ and $\alpha/2 =0.05$ . The critical values for this case are:

$z_{\alpha/2}=-1.64, t_{1-\alpha/2}=1.64$

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}$ (a)

The margin of error desired is given $ME =\pm 0.01$ and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

$n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}$ (b)

Replacing we got:

$n=\frac{0.76(1-0.76)}{(\frac{0.01}{1.64})^2}=4905.83$

And rounded up we have that n=4906

Part b

For this case since we don't have prior info we need to use as estimatro for the proportion $\hat p =0.5$

$n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.01}{1.64})^2}=6724$

And rounded up we have that n=6724

Fill in the table using this function rule y= 18-3x

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

1:15 2:12 3:9 5:3

Step-by-step explanation:

All you have to do is plug in the # under the letter x , and plug it into the equation. For example 18 - 3 x 1 , is just saying what is 18 - 3 . Another example would be 18 - 3 x 2 . the equation is simply just 18 - 6 . Just plug in the x numbers in the equation. Hope my answer helped , and good luck! : )
