Answer: 40:80:80

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio is 1:2:2. This means, for every 5, the money is split in a ratio of 1:2:2. Let’s calculate how many 5s there are in 200. 200 / 5 = 40. So, the money will be split in 1:2:2 every 5 dollars 40 times.

Excellent. So, we can easily find out the ratio by multiplying the ratio 1:2:2 by 40. 1*40:2*40:2*40 = 40:80:80. Let’s add these up, and see if they result in 200. 40 + 80 + 80 = 200. So, our answer is correct.

Hope this helps!

What is 40 /6 in fraction

Serhud [2]

Well I'm assuming that you want me to simplify the fraction 40/6. Since 40 can go into 6 multiple times, this fraction is going to be a mixed number.
40/6 in simplest form is 6 2/3. Hope I helped!

A confidence interval was used to estimate the proportion of statistics students that are female. A random sample of 72 statisti

Answer:

We need a sample of size at least 13.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $1-\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$ .

The margin of error is:

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

90% confidence interval: (0.438, 0.642).

The proportion estimate is the halfway point of these two bounds. So

$\pi = \frac{0.438 + 0.642}{2} = 0.54$

95% confidence level

So $\alpha = 0.05$ , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975$ , so $Z = 1.96$ .

Using the information above, what size sample would be necessary if we wanted to estimate the true proportion to within ±0.08 using 95% confidence?

We need a sample of size at least n.

n is found when M = 0.08. So

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

$0.08 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.54*0.46}{n}}$
