Answer:
The sample proportion is 0.158.
Step-by-step explanation:
In a confidence interval of proportions, we have the lower bound and the upper bound of the interval. The sample proportion is the halfway points between these bounds, that is, the sum of these bounds divided by 2.
In this problem, we have that:
Lower bound: 0.142
Upper bound: 0.174
Sample proportion: (0.142+0.174)/2 = 0.158
The sample proportion is 0.158.
I am going to use C to represent cookbook and N to represent N. I find that easier to remember which is which.
Day 1: 5C + 3N = 167
Day 2: 3C + 1N = 89
We need to solve one of these equation for either the C or N. I always choose the easiest one! Day 2 looks like the one.
3C + 1N = 89 (I am doing to solve for N because we won't have a fraction)
1N=89-3C
N=89-3C
Now we take this solution for N and put it into our first equation.
5C + 3(89-3C) = 167 (We need to distribute)
5C + 267 - 9C = 167 (Use subtraction to move C values to the right and numbers to the left)
267-167 = 9C-5C
100 = 4C
25 = C $25 for the Cookbooks.
Now, we have to go back and solve for N by putting $25 in for C in the second equation.
N=89-3(25)
N=89-75
N=14 dollars for each novel.
Check by putting both back into the first equation:
5C + 3N = 167
5(25) + 3(14) = 167. It checks out!

Answer: B) 2.9 approximately</h3>
==================================================
Explanation:
The weird or fancy looking E symbol is the greek uppercase letter sigma. It is effectively the english version of S to represent summation. So we add up all the 
terms to get this. Luckily this has already been done for us in the table where they wrote "sum = 34", so 
From here, we substitute this into the formula, along with n = 5 since there are 5 items in the original list
So,
This computes the sample standard deviation. To get the population standard deviation, you'd basically change the "n-1" to simply "n", and the rest of the formula is identical.
It is equal to 18 and find the square root of that...........
