A. 48 = 12 + 20 + x

If you use this equation then you can do 12 + 20 = 32 and then you can do 48 - 32 = 16 so x = 16

"a pollster wishes to estimate the number of left-handed scientists. how large of a sample is needed in order to be 98% confiden

nadezda [96]

The sample size should be 250.

Our margin of error is 4%, or 0.04. We use the formula

$\text{ME}=z\sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}$

To find the z-score:
Convert 98% to a decimal: 0.98
Subtract from 1: 1-0.98 = 0.02
Divide both sides by 2: 0.02/2 = 0.01
Subtract from 1: 1-0.01 = 0.99

Using a z-table (http://www.z-table.com) we see that this value has a z-score of approximately 2.33. Using this, our margin of error and our proportion, we have:

$0.04=2.33\sqrt{\frac{0.08(1-0.08)}{n}}
\\
\\0.04=2.33\sqrt{\frac{0.08(0.92)}{n}}$

Divide both sides by 2.33:
$\frac{0.04}{2.33}=\sqrt{\frac{0.08(0.92)}{n}}$

Square both sides:
$(\frac{0.04}{2.33})^2=\frac{0.08(0.92)}{n}$

Multiply both sides by n:
$(\frac{0.04}{2.33})^2n=0.08(0.92)$

Divide both sides to isolate n:
$\frac{0.08(0.92)}{(\frac{0.04}{2.33})^2}=n
\\
\\249.73=n
\\n\approx 250$

One important idea of the section "When Good Bananas Go Bad" is that experts say that we should grow only one type of banana in

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the section, "When Good Bananas Go Bad", we are made to understand that one of the reasons why the TR4 fungus can spread easily through banana roots is because, there is only one variety, which is the Cavendish variety. Experts advise that people should develop interest in other varieties like the Manzano, which has the taste of Apple and Strawberry.

Another reason given for the spread of the disease is increased human transportation. Although growing one type of banana would be beneficial for companies, the fact that they have the same genetic material, aids the spread of the disease. So, diversification is advised.

Pete, Lulu and Liza are walking in the Boston downtown. Each time Pete takes 4

Rasek [7]

If Liza takes 120 steps, then the number of steps taken by Pete will be 72.

<h3>What are a ratio and a proportion?</h3>

A ratio is an ordered set of integers a and b expressed as a/b, with b never equaling 0. A percentage is a mathematical expression in which two things are equal.

Pete, Lulu, and Liza are walking in the Boston downtown. Each time Pete takes 4 steps, Lulu takes 3 steps. Each time Lulu takes 5 steps, Liza takes 4 steps.

Then the relation between is given as

4 Pete → 4 Lulu

5 Lulu → 4 Liza

Then we have

$\rm \dfrac{5}{3} \times 4 \ Pete \rightarrow \dfrac{5}{3} \ Lulu \rightarrow 4 \ Liza$

If Liza takes 120 steps, then the number of the step taken by Pete will be

$\rm \dfrac{5}{3} \times 4 \ Pete \rightarrow 4 \times 120 \\\\Pete \rightarrow 72$

More about the ratio and the proportion link is given below.

5000 is 1/10 of what

KatRina [158]

The correct answer is 50,000.

Explanation:
We can set up the equation 5000=1/10x to represent this situation.

To solve, we will divide both sides by 1/10:
5000÷(1/10) = (1/10x)÷(1/10)
5000÷(1/10) = x.

To divide fractions, flip the second one and multiply; this gives us
5000*(10/1) = x
50000 = x.
