The question is incomplete:

James has dimes and quarters saved up in his change jar. He has a total of 162 coins totaling $31.20 what is the total amount james has in quarters?

a. $10.00

b. $6.20

c.$15.50

d.$25.00

Answer:

d.$25.00

Step-by-step explanation:

With the information provided, you can write the following equations given that dimes are equal to 0.10 and quarters to 0.25 to determine the number of dimes and quarters that James has:

x+y=162 (1)

0.10x+0.25y=31.20 (2), where:

x is the number of dimes

y is the number of quarters

First, you can solve for x in (1):

x=162-y (3)

Then, you have to replace (3) in (2) and solve for y:

0.10(162-y)+0.25y=31.20

16.2-0.10y+0.25y=31.20

0.15y=31.20-16.2

0.15y=15

y=15/0.15

y=100

Finally, you have to replace the value of y in (3) to find x:

x=162-100

x=62

Now, you know that James has 100 quarters and you can multiply this number for the value of a quarter to find the amount James has in quarters:

100*0.25=25

According to this, the answer is that James has $25 in quarters.

The 2004 presidential election exit polls from the critical state of Ohio provided the following results. There were 2020 respon

lord [1]

Answer: a) $0.490\leq p\leq0.582$

b) $0.501\leq p$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Sample size of respondents in the exit polls : n= 2020

Number of respondents voted for George Bush = 412

Sample proportion: $\hat{p}=\dfrac{412}{768}\approx0.536$

a) Critical value for 99% confidence level : $z_{\alpha/2}=2.576$

Confidence interval for proportion:-

$\hat{p}\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}$

$=0.536\pm (2.576)\sqrt{\dfrac{0.536(1-0.536)}{768}}\\\\=0.536\pm0.046\\\\=(0.490,\ 0.582)$

Hence, the 99% confidence interval for the proportion of college graduates in Ohio that voted for George Bush: $0.490\leq p\leq0.582$

b) Critical value for 95% confidence level : $z_{\alpha/2}=1.96$

Lower confidence bound for the proportion :

$\hat{p}- z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}\\\\=0.536-(1.96)\sqrt{\dfrac{0.536(1-0.536)}{768}}\\\\=0.536-0.035=0.501$

Hence, a 95% lower confidence bound for the proportion of college graduates in Ohio that voted for George Bush : $0.501\leq p$

A factory buys 10% of its components from suppliers B and the rest from supplier C. It is known that 6% of the components it buy

Aleks [24]

Answer:

The percentage of the components bought from supplier C that are faulty = 88%

Complete Question:

A factory buys 10% of its components from supplier A, 30% from supplier B,and the rest from supplier C. it is known that 6% of the components it buys are faulty. of the components bought from supplier A, 9% are faulty and of the components bought from supplier B, 3% are faulty.

find the percentage of the components bought from supplier C that are faulty ?

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the total components bought by the factory

Components supplied by A = 10% of x

Components supplied by B = 30% of x

The rest supplied by C:

Percentage supplied by C = 100-(30+10) = 100-40 = 60%

Components supplied by C = 60% of x

% of all faulty components = 6%

Amount of faulty component = 6% of x

faulty components from A= 9%

Amount of faulty component from A= 9% × (6% of x) = 0.0054x

faulty components from B= 3%

Amount of faulty component from A= 3% × (6% of x) = 0.0018x

Amount of faulty component from C = (6% of x) - (0.0054x+0.0018x)

= 0.06x - 0.0072x

= 0.0528x

Let the percentage of the components bought from supplier C that are faulty = y%

y% × 6% of x = 0.0528x

y% × 0.06x = 0.0528x

y% = 0.0528x/0.06x

y% = 0.88 = 88%

The percentage of the components bought from supplier C that are faulty = 88%
