Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:The rario is 9:13.
Step-by-step explanation:In this case, our population is the number of students in section 3.
Then, in section 3 there are students who were assigned to basic mathematics and there is a group of students who were assigned statistics.
Let's call x students in section 3 assigned to mathematics and let v call the number of students assigned to section 3 statistics.
SW
[tex]x = 18\\v = 26\\[/tex]
We can say then that the relation between the variables x and v is:
[tex]\frac{x}{v} = \frac{18}{26} = \frac{9}{13}[/tex]this is
x:y = 18:26
Simplifying we have:
9:13.
This means that in section 3 there are 9 students in the basic mathematics course for every 13 students of statistics
