Contaminated water: In a sample of 43 water specimens taken from a construction site, 23 contained detectable levels of lead. (a) Construct a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of water specimens that contain detectable levels of lead. Round the answer to at least three decimal places.
(b) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of water specimens that contain detectable levels of lead. Round the answer to at least three decimal places. A 95% confidence interval for the proportion of water specimens that contain detectable levels of lead is

The length of a rectangle is x times the square root of 100. the width is one-half y more than three-halves x. given that the area of the rectangle is 125 cm2, which equation could represent the rectangle in terms of x and y? a) 5xy − 15x = 125 b) 5xy + 15x = 125 c) 15x2 − 5xy = 125 d) 15x2 + 5xy = 125

Data from 2005 for various age groups show that for each $100 increase in the median weekly income for whites, the median weekly income of blacks increases by $105. also, for workers of ages 25 to 54 the median weekly income for whites was $676 and for blacks was $527. (a) let w represent the median weekly income for whites and b the median weekly income for blacks, and write the equation of the line that gives b as a linear function of w. b = (b) when the median weekly income for whites is $760, what does the equation in (a) predict for the median weekly income for blacks?
