Answer:

Number of trout caught by Bill = 16 trout

Number of trout caught by Steve = 30 trout

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total number of trout caught = 46

Number of trout caught by Steve = Number of trout caught by Bill + 14

Find:

Number of trout caught by Steve

Number of trout caught by Bill

Computation:

Assume;

Number of trout caught by Bill = a

Number of trout caught by Steve = a + 14

So,

Number of trout caught by Steve + Number of trout caught by Bill = Total number of trout caught

a + a + 14 = 46

2a = 46 - 14

2a = 32

a = 16

Number of trout caught by Bill = 16 trout

Number of trout caught by Steve = a + 14

Number of trout caught by Steve = 16 + 14

Number of trout caught by Steve = 30 trout

Vlad [161]

Answer:

The margin of error for the 95% confidence interval used to estimate the population proportion is of 0.0209.

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 z-score that has a p-value of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

The margin of error is of:

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

In a clinical test with 2161 subjects, 1214 showed improvement from the treatment.

This means that n = 2161, \pi = \frac{1214}{2161} = 0.5618

95% confidence level

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

Margin of error:

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

M = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5618*0.4382}{2161}}

M = 0.0209

The margin of error for the 95% confidence interval used to estimate the population proportion is of 0.0209.

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer: The 8 pound bag

Step-by-step explanation: you divide 9.45 by 5 and you get the unit rate of 1.89 and then you divide 13.68 by 8 and you get the unit rate of 1.71 which means the 8 pound bag is cheaper.

Answer:

If a polygon is convex, then the sum of the measures of the exterior angles, one at each vertex, is 360° .

Consider the sum of the measures of the exterior angles for an n -gon.

N=180n−180(n−2)

Distribute 180 .

N=180n−180n+360 =360.
