Answer:

LM = LN + MN [ assuming N is a point between L and M ]

$(x + 7) = (6x - 5) + (3x + 20) \\ x + 7 = 9x + 15 \\ 8x = - 8 \\ { \underline{x = - 1}}$

then find MN:

$MN = 3x + 20 \\ MN = 3( - 1) + 20 = - 3 + 20\\ { \boxed{ \boxed{MN = 17}}}$

Answer:

The sample size is $n = 3139$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The margin of error is $E = 0.02$

From the question we are told the confidence level is 97.5% , hence the level of significance is

$\alpha = (100 - 97.5% ) \%$

=> $\alpha = 0.025$

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value of $\frac{\alpha }{2}$ is

$Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 2.241$

Generally we will assume the sample proportion to be $\^ p = 0.5$

Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as

$n = [\frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }}{E} ]^2 * \^ p (1 - \^ p )$

=> $n = [\frac{2.241}{0.02} ]^2 *0.5 (1 - 0.5 )$

=> $n = 3139$

It is 3/2 • 3/4 because you have to make the mixed number an improper fraction. Theb you would solve 3/2 • 3/4 and get 9/8 and that simplified is 1 1/8
