Answer: the smallest number of people required for the sample to meet the conditions for performing inference is 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

36% of US population has never been married

32% are divorced

27% are married

5% are widowed

Taking a simple random sample of individuals to test this claim;

we need expected count in each cell to be at least 5, here the smallest proportion is 5% = 0.05

so we only need to satisfy condition for its expected count;

n × 0.05 ≥ 5

n = 5 / 0.05 = 100

Therefore the smallest number of people required for the sample to meet the conditions for performing inference is 100

(2x-5y)+(x+y)=(2x+x)+(-5y+y)=3x-4y.

therefore:
(2x-5y)+(x+y)=3x-4y

Al saves pennies. He agreed to give 3/7 of his pennies to Bev if she would give 3/7 of what she got from Al to Carl and if Carl
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

2744 pennies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pennies Al have initially.

We have been given that Al agreed to give 3/7 of his pennies to Bev, so number of pennies Bev will get would be \frac{3}{7}x.

We are also told that Bev gave 3/7 of what she got from Al to Carl, so number of pennies that Carl will get would be \frac{3}{7}x\cdot \frac{3}{7}=\frac{9}{49}x.

Further, Carl gave 3/7 of what he got from Bev to Dani, so number of pennies that Dani will get would be \frac{9}{49}x\cdot \frac{3}{7}=\frac{27}{343}x.

We are also told that Dani received 216 pennies. Now, we will equate 216 to \frac{27}{343}x and solve for x as shown below:

\frac{27x}{343}=216

\frac{27x}{343}*343=216*343

27x=74088

\frac{27x}{27}=\frac{74088}{27}

x=2744

Therefore, Al have 2744 pennies initially.

A square poster has a side length of 26 in. Drawn on the poster are four identical triangles. Each triangle has a base of 8 in.
Firdavs [7]
To find the probability of landing on a triangle, you will want find the combined areas of the triangles and the total area of the square target.

Divide the area of the combined areas and the total area to find the probability of landing on a triangle.

A = 1/2bh
      1/2 x 8 x 8
A = 32 square inches
32 x 4
128 square inches (areas of triangles)

A = bh
     26 x 26
A = 676 square inches

128/676 = 0.189

There is an approximate probability of 0.19 of hitting a triangle.

UNO [17]

the algebraic expression is 4(0.25)+2x=17

STEP 1: Simplify both sides of the equation

1+2x=17  or  2x+1=17

STEP 2: Subtract 1 from both sides

2x=16

STEP 3: Divide both sides by 2

2x/2 = 16/2

x=8
