A.The modes differ by 40 and the ranges differ by 40.
Step-by-step explanation:
The mode of a data set is the value that occurs most often.
For the data from last summer, the value 190 is in the list twice, while all other values are only in once. This means 190 is the mode.
For the data from this summer, the value 150 is in the list twice, while all other values are only in once. This means 150 is the mode. This also means the difference in modes is 190-150 = 40.
The range is the difference between the maximum and minimum values in a data set. For last summer's data, the maximum is 220 and the minimum is 140; this gives us 220-140 = 80 for the range.
For this summer's data, the maximum is 190 and the minimum is 150; this gives us 190-150 = 40 for the range. This means the difference in ranges is 80-40 = 40.
We are 90% confident that the true proportion of all seafood in the country that is mislabeled or misidentified is between 0.5256 and 0.5944 that is 52.56% and 59.44%.
c) Validity of criticism
Conditions for validity:
Verification:
Both the conditions are satisfied. This, the criticism is invalid.
The simplest fraction for is . Write the upper bound as a fraction with the same denominator:
.
Hence the range for would be:
.
If the denominator of is also , then the range for its numerator (call it ) would be . Apparently, no whole number could fit into this interval. The reason is that the interval is open, and the difference between the bounds is less than .
To solve this problem, consider scaling up the denominator. To make sure that the numerator of the bounds are still whole numbers, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by a whole number (for example, 2.)
.
.
At this point, the difference between the numerators is now . That allows a number ( in this case) to fit between the bounds. However, can't be written as finite decimals.
Try multiplying the numerator and the denominator by a different number.

It is important to note that some expressions for can be simplified. For example, because of the common factor .
