Answer: Damien has 21 red pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

First, 7/8 of the rectangle is coloured red.

Then, the 7/8 was cut into a size 1/24 of the rectangle each.

That consequently means that 24 of those pieces will form the whole shape.

Since red covers 7/8 of the rectangle, the number of red pieces invariably becomes

⅞ × 24 pieces, which is equal to 21 pieces

Therefore, Damien has cut the red part of the rectangle into 21 pieces

mario62 [17]

Answer:

1/2 or 50% probability

Step-by-step explanation:

There are just two players, player A and player B. Since it is between this two players, for player A to score first we would have:

AB where player A is the first player to score, we wouldn't have BA since player would not be the first here

Probability = number of favorable outcomes/total number of outcomes

Therefore probability of A being the first player = number of A/total number of players

=1/2 = 0.50

There is therefore a 50% chance of A being the first player

Bella has joined a new gym in town. The cost of membership is $25 per month. The after-hours policy at the gym allows her to wor
hjlf

The total monthly bill of the gym = $53

The cost of membership of a month = $25

Let 'n' be extra the number of hours Bella worked on.

The cost for working on extra hours = $4

So, we have to determine the equation, Bella worked out after hours.

We will determine the equation by:

(Monthly cost of membership) + ( cost for extra hours \times number of hours extra worked on )  = Total monthly bill received

So, we get

\$25+(4 \times n) = \$53

$25+4n = $53 is the required equation.

Therefore, $25+4n = $53  equation can be used to determine how many times Bella worked out after hours.

Tomtit [17]

The answer is that Jade's chickens laid more eggs. Since Jade's farm includes 9 chickens, which each laid 3 eggs, multiply 9 and 3 and you get 27. Edna's farm has chickens which, in total, laid 23 eggs, leading to Jade's chickens with 27 eggs to be more than the eggs laid by Edna's chickens. :)

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

1)  n=48  

2) n=298

3) n=426

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".  

p represent the real population proportion of interest

\hat p represent the estimated proportion for the sample

n is the sample size required (variable of interest)

z represent the critical value for the margin of error

The population proportion have the following distribution  

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

Part 1

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 90% of confidence, our significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.90=0.10 and \alpha/2 =0.05. And the critical value would be given by:  

z_{\alpha/2}=-1.64, z_{1-\alpha/2}=1.64  

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)  

And on this case we have that ME =\pm 0.1 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:  

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

We can assume that the estimated proportion is 0.23 for the 25 to 30 group. And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:  

n=\frac{0.23(1-0.23)}{(\frac{0.1}{1.64})^2}=47.63  

And rounded up we have that n=48  

Part 2

The margin of error on this case changes to 0.04 so if we use the same formula but changing the value for ME we got:

n=\frac{0.23(1-0.23)}{(\frac{0.04}{1.64})^2}=297.7  

And rounded up we have that n=298  

Part 3

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval 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}=-1.96, z_{1-\alpha/2}=1.96  

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)  

And on this case we have that ME =\pm 0.04 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:  

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

We can assume that the estimated proportion is 0.23 for the 25 to 30 group. And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:  

n=\frac{0.23(1-0.23)}{(\frac{0.04}{1.96})^2}=425.22  

And rounded up we have that n=426
