Answer:

= 391/11

Let say number = N

a certain number is increased by 5

= N + 5

,one-half of the result

= (N + 5)/2

Three -fifths of the excess of 61 over the number.

= (3/5)(61 - N)

Equating both

(N + 5)/2  = (3/5)(61 - N)

multiplying by 10 both sides

=> 5(N + 5) = 6(61 - N)

=> 5N + 25 = 366 - 6N

=> 11N = 391

=> N = 391/11

Legalization of marijuana, Part I. The 2010 General Social Survey asked 1,578 US res- idents: \Do you think the use of marijuana
mixer [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Sample statistics are used to estimate population value. Since 48% is a sample proportion, therefore, it is a sample statistic.

b) For 95% confidence level, z* = 1.96.

\hat{p}\pm z^* \sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}= 0.61\pm 0.61\sqrt{\frac{0.61(1-0.61)}{1578}}=0.61\pm 0.024 \ or (0.586, 0.634).

We are 95% confident that the true proportion of US residents who think marijuana should be made legal lies between 58.6% and 63.4%.

c)

\\np=1578(0.61)=962.58

\\n(1-p)=1578(1-0.61)=615.42

Since both np and n(1-p), are at least 10, the normal model is a good approximation for these data.

d) As the lower limit of confidence interval is less than 0.5, less than 50% population is also a plausible value of true proportion. This means the statement "Majority of Americans think marijuana should be legalized" is not justified.

A research submarine descends 65 meters per minutes to a depth of 4485 m, conducts experiments, and then ascends at a rate of 65
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

speed =65m/mins = 65/60 = 1.083m/s

Time taken to go down,

t = 4485/1.083

= 4141.37 s

Total time gotten = 12 hrs = 12*60*60

= 43200s

Amount of time left to conduct experiment

= 43200-4141.37

= 39058.63s

= 39058.63/3600

= 10.85 hrs
