Answer:

a : b = 25 : 9

Step-by-step explanation:

(3a - 5b) : (3a + 5b) = 1 : 4

Product of extremes = product  of  means

(3a - 5b) *4 = (3a +5b) * 1    {Distributive property}

3a * 4  - 5b*4 = 3a + 5b

12a - 20b = 3a + 5b

Add 20b to both sides

12a = 3a + 5b + 20b

12a = 3a + 25b

Subtract 3a from both sides

12a - 3a = 25b

9a = 25b

\dfrac{a}{b}=\dfrac{25}{9}

a:b = 25 : 9

An article estimates, with 90% confidence, that the proportion of elementary school teachers who are female is 82%. The article
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:   (80% , 85%)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that, confidence interval for population proportion is given by :-

(p-E , p+E)

, where p = sample proportion , E = Margin of error.

Given : Proportion of elementary school teachers who are female = 82%.

The article also states the maximum error of their estimate = 3%.

Then, the 90% confidence interval for the proportion of elementary school teachers who are female will be :

(82%-2% , 82%+3%)

= (80% , 85%)

Hence, the resulting 90% confidence interval for the proportion of elementary school teachers who are female = (80% , 85%)

Here are two shapes with the same area. Work out the perimiter of the rectangle.
Lilit [14]
So, we know the perimeter is 24 cm. and the top part is the left part, (x) + 2, but remember, we need to have it be a number that, multiplied by 2, is 24. So, using this formula, the length, (top / bottom) is 7, and x = 5. Because 5 + 5 = 10, and when length is +2, it adds up to 14. 10 + 14 = 24. So, length is 7, width, (left, right) is 5.
