Answer:

  • Sand in small bag = 2x = 2(7.5) = 15 kg
  • Sand in medium bag = 3x = 3(7.5) = 22.5 kg
  • Sand in a large bag = 7x = 7(7.5) = 52.5 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Total weight = 90 kg

As 90 kg has been distributed in 3 bags in the ratio 2:3:7

Let the small bag contains = 2x

Let the medium bag contains = 3x

Let the big bag contains = 7x

so the equation becomes

2x+3x+7x = 90

12x = 90

x = 90/12

x = 7.5

Thus,

  • Sand in small bag = 2x = 2(7.5) = 15 kg
  • Sand in medium bag = 3x = 3(7.5) = 22.5 kg
  • Sand in a large bag = 7x = 7(7.5) = 52.5 kg

<u>SOLUTION CHECK</u>

15+22.5+52.5=90 kg

Hey stars of the day i need help
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that both 6x and 120 are equal to each other, you can use simple algebra to find out what x is

6x = 120 (divide both sides by 6 to isolate x)

x = 20

A large university is interested in the outcome of a course standardization process. They have taken a random sample of 100 stud
quester [9]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

Number of sample, n = 100

p = 0.78

q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.78

q = 0.22

For a confidence level of 90%, the corresponding z value is 1.645.

The formula for determining the error bound for the proportion is

z × √pq/n

= 1.645 ×√(0.78 × 0.22)/100

= 1.645 × 0.0414 = 0.068

The upper boundary of the population proportion is

0.78 + 0.068 = 0.85

The lower boundary of the population proportion is

0.78 - 0.068 = 0.71

b) For a confidence level of 95%, the corresponding z value is 1.96.

Therefore,

= 1.96 ×√(0.78 × 0.22)/100

= 1.96 × 0.0414 = 0.081

The upper boundary of the population proportion is

0.78 + 0.081 = 0.86

The lower boundary of the population proportion is

0.78 - 0.081 = 0.7
