Answer:

  • premium: 165 gallons
  • water: 120 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'a' represent the amount of 95% antifreeze in the mix. Then the amount of water is (285 -a). The mix has this amount of antifreeze in it:

  0.95a +0(285 -a) = 0.55(285)

  a = 0.55/0.95(285) = 165 . . . gallons of 95%

  285 -a = 285 -165 = 120 . . . . gallons of water

There are 120 gallons of water and 165 gallons of premium antifreeze in the mixture.

Answer:

no of sample within two percentage points  is 5409

no of sample not use prior​ estimates is 8321

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

E = 2% = 0.02

male m = 21.2 % = 0.212

female f = 19.7 % = 0.197

to find out

no of sample within two percentage points and if does not use any prior​ estimates

solution

first we calculate no of sample within two percentage points

we know Z critical value for 99% is 2.58

so no of sample will be

n = (Z / E )² × m(1-m) + f ( 1-f )

put all the value we get no of sample

n = (2.58 / 0.02 )² × 0.212 ( 1 - 0.212 ) + 0.197 ( 1 - 0.197 )

n =  16641 ×0.3250

no of sample within two percentage points  is 5409

in 2nd part no of sample not use prior​ estimates

here than f and m will be 0.5

than

n = (Z / E )² × m(1-m) + f ( 1-f )

put all value

n = (2.58 / 0.02 )² × 0.5 ( 1 - 0.5 ) + 0.5 ( 1 - 0.5 )

n =  16641 ×  0.5

no of sample not use prior​ estimates is 8321
