Answer:

y = 9.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Express the ratios in fractional form, that is

$\frac{1.5}{4}$ = $\frac{9}{2y+5}$ ( cross- multiply )

1.5(2y + 5) = 36 ( divide both sides by 1.5 )

2y + 5 = 24 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

2y = 19 ( divide both sides by 2 )

y = $\frac{19}{2}$ = 9.5

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply both sides by (x-5) and expand:

(x+4)/(x-5)*(x-5) = -2(x-5)

x+4 = -2x+10

Subtract 4 from both sides:

x+4-4 = -2x+10-4

x = -2x+6

Add 2x to both sides:

x+2x = -2x+6+2x

3x = 6

Divide both sides by 3:

3x/3 = 6/3

x = 2

A random sample of 300 Americans planning long summer vacations in 2009 revealed an average planned expenditure of $1,076. The e

Answer:

$(1024.69,\ 1127.31)$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the sample size was:

$n = 300$

The average was:

${\displaystyle {\overline {x}}}=1,076$

The standard deviation was:

$\s = 345$

The confidence level is

$1-\alpha = 0.99$

$\alpha=1-0.99\\\alpha=0.01$

The confidence interval for the mean is:

${\displaystyle{\overline {x}}} \± Z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}}*\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$

Looking at the normal table we have to

$Z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}}=Z_{\frac{0.01}{2}}=Z_{0.005}=2.576$

Therefore the confidence interval for the mean is:

$1,076\± 2.576*\frac{345}{\sqrt{300}}$

$1,076\± 51.31$

$(1024.69,\ 1127.31)$

This means that <em>the mean planned spending of all Americans who take long summer vacations in 2009 is between $ 1024.69 and $ 1127.31</em>
