North carolina has three times the population of utah and twice the
population of oregon. arkansas has 1 million people fewer than oregon.
if the total population of these four states is 27 million, how many peo-
ple live in each state?

North Carolina = 3 * Utah

North Carolina = 2 * Oregon

Arkansas = Oregon - 1,000,000

North Carolina + Utah + Oregon + Arkansas = 27,000,000

North Carolina = 3 * Utah

Utah = 1/3 * North Carolina

Utah = 1/3 * (2 * Oregon)

(2 * Oregon) + (1/3 * (2 * Oregon)) + Oregon + (Oregon - 1,000,000) = 27,000,000

2O + (1/3 * 2O) + O + O - 1,000,000 = 27,000,000

2O + 2/3O + O + O - 1,000,000 = 27,000,000

4 2/3 O - 1,000,000 = 27,000,000

4 2/3 O = 28,000,000

O = 6,008,584

NC = 2O

NC = 2(6,008,584)

NC = 12,017,167

A = O - 1,000,000

A = 6,008,584 - 1,000,000

A = 5,008,584

NC = 3U

12,017,167 = 3U

U = 4,005,722

step-by-step explanation:

i'm assuming you need to figure out how many campers go into each tent.

i got the answer by:

24+4=28

28/4=7  

d. 24+-0.114

step-by-step explanation:

the question requires us to calculate the approximate 95% confidence interval for the mean number of ounces of ketchup per bottle in the sample given the following statistics;

sample mean = 24

standard deviation, σ = 0.4

sample size , n = 49

the confidence interval for a population mean is calculated using the formula;

sample mean ± z-score*(σ/sqrt(n))

the z-score associated with a 95% confidence interval, from the standard normal tables, is;

1.96

substituting these values into the formula;

24 ± 1.96*(0.4/7)

= 24 ± 0.112

from the alternatives given, choice d is closest to the above expression;
