Answer:

20 cats

Step-by-step explanation:

A proportion has to be setup to answer this

5/4 = 25/x

x represents the missing number of cats

This fraction represents the relationship amongst dogs and cats

----

To solve cross multiply

5x = 100

(let me down below if you need an explanation on how to cross multiply)

Divide both sides by 5 in order to get the variable by itself

100/5 = 20

x = 20

The shelter has 20 cats

A chemist wants to mix a 66% alcohol solution with eight liters of 54% alcohol solution to produce a solution that is 65% alcoho
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

We have 8 liters of 54% alcohol.

We will add "x" liters of 66% alcohol to make "8 +x" liters of 65% alcohol.

54 * 8 + 66 x =   65 (8 + x)

432 + 66x = 520 + 65x

x = 88 liters

Dovator [93]
The confidence interval is from 0.2191 to 0.2649, given by

0.242\pm0.0229.

The z-score we need is found by first subtracting the confidence level from 1:
1 - 0.95 = 0.05

Divide that by 2:
0.05/2 = 0.025

Subtract that from 1:
1 - 0.025 = 0.975

Look this up in the middle of a z-table (http://www.z-table.com) and we see that the z-score is 1.96.

Now our confidence interval is given by
\overline{x} \pm z\times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}
\\
\\0.242\pm 1.96 \times (\frac{0.037}{\sqrt{10}})
\\
\\0.242 \pm .0229
\\
\\0.242-0.0229=0.2191
\\
\\0.242+0.0229 = 0.2649
