Answer:

60 maths books

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Let the following be:</u>

  • Maths books = m
  • Science books = s
  • History books = h

<u>And we have ratios and sum:</u>

  • m/s = 3/2
  • s/h = 1/3
  • m+s+h = 220

<u>From the ratios we get:</u>

  • m = 3s/2
  • h= 3s

<u>Considering the above in the sum of books:</u>

  • m+s+h = 220
  • 3s/2 + s + 3s = 220
  • 3s + 2s + 6s = 2*220
  • 11s = 440
  • s = 440/11
  • s = 40

<u>Number of maths books:</u>

  • m = 3s/2 = 3*40/2 = 60

Integer Operations Review Name: Adding Integers 1) 85+ (-96) = 2) 80 + 57 = 3) 86 + (-38) = 4) 22 + (-41) = 5) -18 + (-45) = 6)

Given:

Addition and subtraction of integers.

To find:

The value of each expression.

Solution:

We know that,

(+)(+)=(+),(+)(-)=(-),(-)(+)=(-),(-)(-)=(+)

Adding Integers :

1) 85+ (-96) = 85 - 96 = -11

2) 80 + 57 = 137

3) 86 + (-38) = 86 - 38 = 48

4) 22 + (-41) = 22 - 41 = -19

5) -18 + (-45) = -18 - 45 = -63

6) -32 + 48 = 16

7) 6+ (-33) = 6 - 33 = -27

8) 6 + (-47) = 6 - 47 = -41

9) (-78) + 69 = -78 + 69 = -9

10) -72 + (-30) + 10 = -72 - 30 + 10

                              = -102 + 10

                              = -92

11) -83 + (-36) + 20 = -83 - 36 + 20

                              = -119 + 20

                              = -99

Subtracting Integers :

1) 1-3 = -2

2) 2-(-5) = 2 + 5 = 7

3) 6-(-9) = 6 +9 =15

4) -7 - (-1) = -7 + 1 = -6

5) -7 - 4 = -11

6) 3- (-2) = 3 + 2 = 5

7) 1-9 = -8

8) 2-9 = -7

9) -8 - (-1) =​ -8 + 1 = -7

Masja [62]

Answer:

130

Step-by-step explanation:

since bc and bd equal the same thing, plug in every answer option until you get to 360.

(130 x 2) = 260

plus cd = 100.

260 + 100 = 360.

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

99% Confidence interval: (0.185,0.375)                                                  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample size, n = 150

Number of cars that have faulty catalytic converters, x = 42

\hat{p} = \dfrac{x}{n} = \dfrac{42}{150} = 0.28

99% Confidence interval:

\hat{p}\pm z_{stat}\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}

z_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.01} = \pm 2.58

Putting the values, we get:

0.28\pm 2.58(\sqrt{\frac{0.28(1-0.28)}{150}}) = 0.28\pm 0.095\\\\=(0.185,0.375)

The​ 99% confidence interval for the true proportion of new cars with faulty catalytic converters is​ (0.185,0.375)
