Answer:

40 and 65

Step-by-step explanation:

Craig is 40.

Diane is 65.

40+25=65.

Diane is 25 years older than Craig.

40+20=105

Answer:

Let Craigs age = x

Therefore Dianes age = 25 + x ( since she's 25 years older)

Dianes + Craigs age = (25 + x) + x = 105 (They said both of their ages sums up to 105)

25 + 2x = 105

2x = 80

x = 40

Craigs age is 40 years old.

Dianes age is 65 years old.

Which value of w makes 14=11+w/8 times 6 a true statement?

Vlad [161]

Answer: For the value of w=4, $14=11+\frac{w}{8}\times 6$ is a true statement.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the given expression,

$14=11+\frac{w}{8}\times 6$

= $14=11+\frac{6w}{8}$

= $14=11+\frac{3w}{4}$

= $3=\frac{3w}{4}$ ( by subtraction property of equality)

⇒ $=\frac{w}{4}$ ( By division property of equality)

⇒ w=4 ( By multiplication property of equality)

This is most likely an example of correlation rather than causation. It may seem like the cat is staying indoors because of the rise of apples growing in the backyard, but it cannot be proven that one directly causes the other.

Answer:

The number of people surveyed was 330.

Step-by-step explanation:

The (1 - α)% confidence interval for the population proportion is:

$CI=\hat p\pm z_{\alpha/2}\cdot \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}$

The margin of error for this interval is:

$MOE= z_{\alpha/2}\cdot \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}$

The information provided is:

$\hat p=0.37\\MOE=0.05\\\text{Confidence level}=0.94\\\Rightarrow \alpha=0.06$

The critical value of z for 94% confidence level is, z = 1.88.

*Use a z-table.

Compute the value of n as follows:

$MOE= z_{\alpha/2}\cdot \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}$

$n=[\frac{z_{\alpha/2}\times \sqrt{\hat p(1-\hat p)}}{MOE}]^{2}$

$=[\frac{1.88\times \sqrt{0.37(1-0.37)}}{0.05}]^{2}\\\\=(18.153442)^{2}\\\\=329.5475\\\\\approx 330$

Thus, the number of people surveyed was 330.
