Answer: D. x=72

Step-by-step explanation:

With the equation x/8-6=3 we can start solving by first moving the "-6"

x/8-6(<u>+6)</u>=3(+6)

x/8=9 <-- Rewrite equation after adding "6" to both sides

x/8(*8)=9(*8) <--- Multiply both sides by 8

x=72 <-- After multiplying, solution is found

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Let the first piece be x

Let the second piece 4x

Let the third piece = 5x

Total length = 40 inches.

Equation

x + 4x + 5x = 40 Combine

Solution

10x = 40 Divide by 10

10x/10 = 40/10

x = 4

Answer

The smallest piece (x) = 4

The middle piece 4x = 4*4 = 16

The largest piece 5x= 5 * 4 = 20

sveta [45]

Answer:

$(0.1875-0.274) - 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.1875(1-0.1875)}{400} +\frac{0.274(1-0.274)}{500}}=-0.1412$

$(0.1875-0.274) + 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.1875(1-0.1875)}{400} +\frac{0.274(1-0.274)}{500}}=-0.0318$

And the 95% confidence interval would be given (-0.1412;-0.0318).

We are confident at 95% that the difference between the two proportions is between $-0.1412 \leq p_A -p_B \leq -0.0318$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$p_A$ represent the real population proportion for business

$\hat p_A =\frac{75}{400}=0.1875$ represent the estimated proportion for Business

$n_A=400$ is the sample size required for Business

$p_B$ represent the real population proportion for non Business

$\hat p_B =\frac{137}{500}=0.274$ represent the estimated proportion for non Business

$n_B=500$ is the sample size required for non Business

$z$ represent the critical value for the margin of error

The population proportion have the following distribution

$p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})$

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the difference of two proportions would be given by this formula

$(\hat p_A -\hat p_B) \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p_A(1-\hat p_A)}{n_A} +\frac{\hat p_B (1-\hat p_B)}{n_B}}$

For the 95% confidence interval the value of $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$ and $\alpha/2=0.025$ , with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.

$z_{\alpha/2}=1.96$

And replacing into the confidence interval formula we got:

$(0.1875-0.274) - 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.1875(1-0.1875)}{400} +\frac{0.274(1-0.274)}{500}}=-0.1412$

$(0.1875-0.274) + 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.1875(1-0.1875)}{400} +\frac{0.274(1-0.274)}{500}}=-0.0318$

And the 95% confidence interval would be given (-0.1412;-0.0318).

We are confident at 95% that the difference between the two proportions is between $-0.1412 \leq p_A -p_B \leq -0.0318$
