Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the proportion of American adults who smoked in 2008 is (20.1%, 21.1%).

Step-by-step explanation:

The critical value of <em>z</em> for 95% confidence level is:

<em>z</em> = 1.96

Compute the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of American adults who smoked in 2008 as follows:

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

     =0.206\pm 1.96\times\sqrt{\frac{0.206(1-0.206)}{21781}}\\\\=0.206\pm 0.0054\\\\=(0.2006, 0.2114)\\\\\approx (0.201, 0.211)

Thus, the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of American adults who smoked in 2008 is (20.1%, 21.1%).

9. Multiply the money he has by the portion he spent:

75 x 3/5 = (75 x3)/5 = 225/5 = 45

He spent $45

10. First rewrite 4 1/8 as an improper fraction

33/8

Now multiply by 1/3:

33/8 x 1/3 = (33 x1) /(8 x 3) = 33/24 = 1 3/8

nasty-shy [4]

2(x - 4) + 7(x + 2)

mutiply the first bracket by 2

(2)(x)=2x

(2)(-4)= -8

mutiply the second bracket by 7

(7)(x)=7x

(7)(2)= 14x

2x-8+7x+14

2x+7x-8+14 ( combine like terms)

Sue need 1 1/4 cups of flour for a batch of cookies.
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

4 batches: 1 1/4 + 1 1/4 + 1 1/4 + 1 1/4 = 4 4/4 = 5

6 batches: 1 1/4 + 1 1/4 + 1 1/4 + 1 1/4 + 1 1/4 + 1 1/4 = 6 6/4 = 7 1/2

7 batches: 1 1/4 + 1 1/4 + 1 1/4 + 1 1/4 + 1 1/4 + 1 1/4 + 1 1/4 = 7 7/4 = 8 3/4

8 batches: 1 1/4 + 1 1/4 + 1 1/4 + 1 1/4 + 1 1/4 + 1 1/4 + 1 1/4 + 1 1/4 = 8 8/4 = 10

The answer is C because 8 batches needs 10 cups of flour, and 7 batches is closest to 9 cups than 6 batches.

You can also look at it like this:

1 1/4c ≤ 9 (c is # of cups)

Or you could have multiplied 4, 6, 7, 8 to 1 1/4 or 1.25

A 32-ft pipe must be cut into three pieces. The longest piece will be twice as long as the shortest piece, and the medium-sized
True [87]

Answer:

7, 11, 14 feet from shortest to longest

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that the shortest pipe is equal to x, and work from there.

The medium size piece is 4 feet longer than the shortest piece, so it is equal to 4+x

The longest piece is twice as long as the shortest piece, so it is equal to 2 * x.

The three pieces added up make up the 32 feet pipe, so we can write this as

(2*x) + (4+x) + x = 32

2*x + 4 + x + x = 32

4 * x + 4 = 32

subtract 4 from both sides to isolate the x and its coefficient

4 * x = 28

divide both sides by 4 to isolate the x

x= 7

Therefore, the shortest piece is x=7 feet long. The medium piece is x+4=11 feet long, and the longest piece is x*2=14 feet long
