Fifteen percent of australians smoke. by introducing tough laws banning brand labels on cigarette packages, australia hopes to reduce the percentage of people smoking to 10% by 2018 (reuters website, october 23, 2012). answer the following questions based on a sample of 240 australians.

a. show the sampling distribution of, the proportion of australians who are smokers.
b. what is the probability the sample proportion will be within ±0.04 of the population proportion?
c. what is the probability the sample proportion will be within ±0.02 of the population proportion?

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal

hope this you

what does x eaqual

step-by-step explanation:

3 1/3 x 2 3/5 = 8 2/3

step-by-step explanation:

just multiply the first number by the second number to get your answer.

c.   x=2.4cm

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
