Answer:

7 horses and 8 chickens

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, first you would need to list out all of the available ratios. Then, find out how many legs are in each option.:

14 horses and 1 chicken = 58 legs

13 horses and 2 chickens = 56 legs

12 horses  and 3 chickens = etc.

11 horses and 4 chickens

10 horses and 5 chickens

9 horses and 6 chickens

8 horses and 7 chickens

7 horses and 8 chickens = 44 legs!

6 horses and 9 chickens

5 horses and 10 chickens

4 horses and 11 chickens

3 horses and 12 chickens

2 horses and 13 chickens

1 horses and 14 chickens

36 out of 100 randomly selected taxpayers knew about tax incentives for installing energy-saving furnaces. Find a 90% confidence
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

The 90% confidence interval for the population proportion who knew about the incentives is (0.28, 0.44).

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}.

For this problem, we have that:

n = 100, \pi = \frac{36}{60} = 0.6

90% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.1, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.1}{2} = 0.95, so Z = 1.645.

The lower limit of this interval is:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.36 - 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.36*0.64}{100}} = 0.28

The upper limit of this interval is:

\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.36 + 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.36*0.64}{100}} = 0.44

The 90% confidence interval for the population proportion who knew about the incentives is (0.28, 0.44).

The 15th term will be 71. Why? Well, see below for an explanation!

By subtracting all of these numbers by the term that comes prior to them, we will find that all of them result in 5. Because of this, we know that each time the term increases, 5 is being added to the numbers. Additionally, I noticed that all of the numbers in this arithmetic sequence only end in a 1 or a 6. Because of this, we can apply the same principle when adding 5 each time:

First term: 1
Second term: 6
Third term: 11
Fourth term: 16
Fifth term: 21
Sixth term: 26
Seventh term: 31
Eighth term: 36
Ninth term: 41
Tenth term: 46
Eleventh term: 51
Twelfth term: 56
Thirteenth term: 61
Fourteenth term: 66
Fifteenth term: 71

By adding 5 each time and keeping in mind that the digits all end in only 1 or 6, we will find that the fifteenth term results in 71. Therefore, the 15th term is 71.

Your final answer: The 15th term of this arithmetic sequence comes down to be 71. If you need extra help, let me know and I will gladly assist you.
