Answer:

p = 0.68 and p^ = 0.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Jackie received 68% of the votes in an election.

Here p is the decimal equivalent of 68 %.Hence ,

p = 0.68

Now we have taken a sample of 30 people from the total number of voters and we have to find the percentage of votes that Jackie gets in this .

Out of 30 people Jackie got 18 votes. Hence,

p^ = $\frac{18}{30}$ = 0.6

Hence the values are

p = 0.68 and p^ = 0.6

In the random sample we have taken the probability of Jackie has decreased but it will be compensated by another sample where it will be more.

A candy store held a contest to guess the total number of jelly beans in a jar. All of the jelly beans in the jar were either gr

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of orange jelly beans be x , as we do not know the exact value of it yet. There are 12 times as many green jelly beans than the orange ones. So , if the number of orange jelly beans is x , the number of green jelly beans will be = 12 times x , which can be written as 12x. Now there are a total of 1872 jelly beans , but they are either orange or green , so we already know that the number of orange jbs is x , and the number of green jelly beans is 12x. So if we the green jelly beans and orange jelly beans , it should be 1872.

Now all we need to do is to find x.

We know that ,

x + 12x = 1872

Now we add x and 12x on the left hand side

13x = 1872

Now we divide both sides by 13 to get x. (That includes 1872 as well)

x = 144

Now we have the value of x which is 144

We know that the number of green jelly beans was 12 times x

So the number of green jelly beans in numeric value is : 12 * 144

As x is equal to 144

Ans . : The number of green jelly beans is 1728.
