A badminton club has 330 members. 240 are adults and the rest are children. Two thirds of the children are boys and the rest are

Margaret [11]

Answer:

The number of boys last year will be 50 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

330 members with 240 adults

The number of children will be;

330-240 = 90

2/3 of 90 are boys

= 2/3 * 90 = 60 boys

Number of girls is 90-60 = 30

Ratio of adults:boys:girls

= 240:60:30

divide through by 30

= 8:2:1

b) A year ago, there were 200 adults but the ratio still remains same

Let the number of girls be x, the number of boys will be 2x

Thus, total number is 200 + x + 2x = 200 + 3x

Total ratio is 8 + 2 + 1 = 11

mathematically;

8/11 * (200 + 3x) = 200

8(200 + 3x) = 11(200)

1600 + 24x = 2200

24x = 2200-1600

24x = 600

x = 600/24

x = 25

So the number of boys will be 25 * 2 = 50

We measure the diameters for a random sample of 25 oak trees in a neighbourhood. Diameters of oak trees in the neighbourhood fol

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

The required confidence inteval = 94.9%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval: Mean ± Margin of error

Given: A confidence interval for the true mean diameter of all oak trees in the neighbourhood is calculated to be (36.191, 42.969).

i.e. Mean + Margin of error = 42.969 (i)

Mean - Margin of error = 36.191 (ii)

Adding (i) and (ii), we get

$2Mean =79.16\\\\\Rightarrow\ Mean= 39.58$

Margin of error = 42.969-39.58 [from (i)]

= 3.389

Margin of error = $t^* \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

here n= 25 $, \ \sigma=8.25$

i.e.

$3.389=t^*\dfrac{8.25}{5}\\\\\Rightarrow\ t^* = \dfrac{3.389}{1.65}\\\\\Rightarrow\ t^* =2.0539 \$

Using excel function 1-TDIST.2T(2.054,24)

The required confidence inteval = 94.9%.
