Answer:

By plotting in the number in the equation (aka where all the x’s are variables are) and seeing if it works.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, let’s use the problem:

3x + 4 = 16

if the given number is 4, we fill it in for x-

3 (4) + 4= 16

solve to see if true:

12 + 4 = 16

16 = 16

hence, the given number 4 makes the equation true!

hopes this helps, have a great day :)

LOTS OF POINTS!

icang [17]

<span>Let us first find a ratio between the quantity of work done by Darnell and Julius. If Darnell does one part of the work, Julius does two parts of the work. That is, their work quantity ratio is 1:2. (Total 3 parts) In other words when Darnell does 1/3 of the work, Julius does 2/3 of the work. When they work together, the work is completed in 4 hours. 4 hours work is the combined output of 1/3 by Darnell and 2/3 by Julius. If Julius was not there, Darnell would have to work for more than 4 hours. We already know that Darnell does only 1/3 of a work during any given time. If the given time is 4 hours, how many one-thirds will Darnell require? To find the answer, divide the given number (4 hours in this case) by the given fraction( 1/3 in this case) To divide a number by a fraction, multiply the number by the reciprocal of the fraction. Thus it becomes 4 divided by 1/3 = 4 x 3/1 = 12. (Another hint: At the rate of 1/3 of a work in one hour, Darnell will needs 3 hours to complete the given task. If the given work is 4 hours long, Darnell will take 4 x 3 hours, that is 12 hours.)</span>

Suppose that a researcher is designing a survey to estimate the proportion of adults in your state who oppose a proposed law tha

irinina [24]

Answer:

$n=\frac{0.5 (1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.02}{1.96})^2}= 2401$

So without prior estimation for the population proportion, using a confidence level of 95% if we want a margin of error about 2% we need al least a sample size of 2401.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The population proportion have the following distribution

$p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}})$

Solution to the problem

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:

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

If solve n from equation (a) we got:

$n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}$ (b)

The margin of error desired for this case is $ME= \pm 0.02$ equivalent to 2% points

For this case we need to assume a confidence level, let's assume 95%. And since we don't have prior estimation for the population proportion of interest the best value to do an approximation is $\hat p =0.5$

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the margin of error for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 95% of confidence, our significance level would be given by $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ . And the critical value would be given by:

$z_{\alpha/2}=\pm 1.96$

Now we have all the values needed and if we replace into equation (b) we got:

$n=\frac{0.5 (1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.02}{1.96})^2}= 2401$

So without prior estimation for the population proportion, using a confidence level of 95% if we want a margin of error about 2% we need al least a sample size of 2401.

Rewrite 9 over 6 as a equivalent fraction and percent

vovangra [49]

Answer:3/2 and 150%

Step-by-step explanation:

9/6 divided by 3 on both top and bottom and get 3/2

9÷ 6= 1.5 so convert it into a percent! (move the decimal 2 places to the Right) 150%
