and 
use the second expression to calculate the left-hand side of the first equation:

Add 10 to both sides if this equation to get

and divide both sides by 2

this proves that x = 17, give the two initial equations
Two cheaper books = x
more expensive = 1.5x
so, 2.5x=150
150/2.5=x=60
therefore the more expensive book = 90
Answer:
I think the answer is 3:5
Answer: 0.332 < p < 0.490
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the confidence interval for population proportion is given by :-

, where n= sample size
= sample proportion
z* = critical z-value.
As per given , we have
n= 258
Sample proportion of college students who own a car = 
Critical z-value for 99% confidence interval is 2.576. (By z-table)
Therefore , the 99% confidence interval for the true proportion(p) of all college students who own a car will be :
Hence, a 99% confidence interval for the true proportion of all college students who own a car : 0.332 < p < 0.490
To work it out:
(20200 + 14500 + 18800 + 9300 + 2200) divide by the number of regions, in this case 5.
The answer is 13000 which is A
Basically the mean is adding all the numbers divided by the amount of numbers you added. So in this case adding the data of the 5 regions divided by 5.
Hope to have helped :)
