Answer:
A proportion is an equality of two ratios.
Example : [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x}{9}[/tex]
We write proportions to help us find equivalent ratios and solve for unknown quantities.
A rate is the quotient of a ratio where the quantities have different units.
Example : [tex]\frac{distance}{time}[/tex]
A ratio is a comparison of two quantities.
Example : 1 : 3 or [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
rewrite 1/6 and 2/11 so they have a common denominator then use <, =, or > to order
Answer:
1/6 < 2/11
Step-by-step explanation:
1/6 = 2/12
2/11 >2/12
So that means 1/6 < 2/11
Answer: 1/6 < 2/11
This is the same as saying 11/66 < 12/66
===========================================================
Explanation:
1/6 is the same as 11/66 when multiplying top and bottom by 11.
2/11 is the same as 12/66 when multiplying top and bottom by 6.
The 6 and 11 multipliers are from the original denominators (just swapped).
We can see that 11/66 is smaller than 12/66, simply because 11 < 12, so that means 1/6 is smaller than 2/11
-----------------
Here's one way you could list out the steps
11 < 12
11/66 < 12/66
1/6 < 2/11
------------------
Here's another way to list out the steps. First assume that 1/6 and 2/11 are equal. Cross multiplication then leads to
1/6 = 2/11
1*11 = 6*2
11 = 12
Which is false. But we can fix this by replacing every equal sign with a less than sign
1/6 < 2/11
1*11 < 6*2
11 < 12
---------------------
Yet another way to see which is smaller is to use your calculator or long division to find the decimal form of each value
1/6 = 0.1667 approximately
2/11 = 0.1818 approximately
We see that 0.1667 is smaller than 0.1818, which must mean 1/6 is smaller than 2/11.

In a survey, 24 people were asked how much they spent on their child's last birthday gift. The results were roughly bell-shaped with a mean of $42 and standard deviation of $2. Construct a confidence interval at a 98% confidence level.
Answer:
The 98% confidence interval for the mean amount spent on their child's last birthday gift is between $40.98 and $43.02.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.
The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So
df = 24 - 1 = 23
98% confidence interval
Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 23 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.98}{2} = 0.99[/tex]. So we have T = 2.5
The margin of error is:
[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.5\frac{2}{\sqrt{24}} = 1.02[/tex]
In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.
The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 42 - 1.02 = $40.98.
The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 42 + 1.02 = $43.02.
The 98% confidence interval for the mean amount spent on their child's last birthday gift is between $40.98 and $43.02.

You may recall that the area of a rectangle is A=L⋅W, where W is the width and L is the length.
Suppose that the length of a rectangle is 3 times the width. If the area is 300 square feet, then what is the width of the rectangle, in feet?
Do not type the units in your answer.
Answer:
The width is 10 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the area of a rectangle is given by the formula:
[tex]\displaystyle A=L\cdot W[/tex]
Where L is the length and W is the width.
We are given that the length of the rectangle is three times the width. In other words:
[tex]L=3W[/tex]
The total area is 300 square feet. And we want to determine the width of the rectangle.
So, substitute 300 for A and 3W for L:
[tex](300)=(3W)\cdot W[/tex]
Multiply:
[tex]300=3W^2[/tex]
Divide both sides by three:
[tex]W^2=100[/tex]
And take the principal square root of both sides. So:
[tex]W=10[/tex]
Thus, the width of the rectangle is 10 feet.

Answer:
no
Step-by-step explanation:
For lines to be parallel, any obtuse angle where a transversal crosses must be supplementary to any acute angle at that transversal. Here the sum of the obtuse and acute angles is 105° +65° = 170°, so it is not possible for this geometry to include parallel lines.
19. In a random sample of 250 students, we found that 75 work out 4 or more times a week. Find the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of students who work out 4 or more times a week.
Answer:
The 95% confidence interval for the proportion of students who work out 4 or more times a week is (0.2432, 0.3568).
Step-by-step explanation:
In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.
[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]
In which
z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].
In a random sample of 250 students, we found that 75 work out 4 or more times a week.
This means that [tex]n = 250, \pi = \frac{75}{250} = 0.3[/tex]
95% confidence level
So [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.96[/tex].
The lower limit of this interval is:
[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.3 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.3*0.7}{250}} = 0.2432[/tex]
The upper limit of this interval is:
[tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.3 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.3*0.7}{250}} = 0.3568[/tex]
The 95% confidence interval for the proportion of students who work out 4 or more times a week is (0.2432, 0.3568).
Sara is working on a Geometry problem in her Algebra class. The problem requires Sara to use the two quadrilaterals below to answer a list of questions.
Part A: For what one value of are the perimeters of the quadrilaterals the same? (Hint: The perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of its sides.)
Part B: For what one value of are the areas of the quadrilaterals the same? (Hint: The area of a quadrilateral is the product of its base and height.)
Answer:
For the perimeters, x must be equal to 2.
For the areas, it is either undefined, or something.
Step-by-step explanation:
You can first find the perimeters for both sides.
For the left shape, we add the two sides of 6 and x + 4 to get x + 10.
Then we multiply x + 10 by 2 because there are 4 sides, and we only got 2 sides.
The perimeter of the first shape is 2x + 20.
The second shape can be solved by doing the same thing by adding 2 and 3x + 4 to get 3x + 6.
3x + 6 times 2 is 6x + 12.
The second perimeter is 6x + 12.
If both sides are supposed to be equal, then we can write these two expressions we solved for like:
6x + 12 = 2x + 20.
Subtraction property of equality
6x + 12 - 12 = 2x + 20 - 12
Simplify
6x = 2x + 8
Again
6x - 2x = 2x - 2x + 8
Simplify
4x = 8
Division property of equality
4/4x = 8/4
Simplify
x = 2
So if x = 2, the perimeters will be the same.
You can confirm this by plugging it back into either equation.
For the areas, we just multiply the length and width for both shapes, so we get
6(x+4) = 2(3x+4)
Since they are supposed to be equal.
We simplify and get
6x + 24 = 6x + 8
We know this is false and is not possible, since we can remove the 6x because it is on both sides.
We also know that 24 is not equal to 8 (who thought!)
:D
24 ≠ 8
So it is undefined or whatever you call it.

An internet cafe charges a fixed amount per minute to use the internet. The cost of using the
internet in dollars is, y = 3/4x. If x is the number of minutes spent on the internet, how many
minutes will $6 buy?
er
Answer:
x = 8 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
An internet cafe charges a fixed amount per minute to use the internet.
The cost of using the internet in dollars is,
[tex]y=\dfrac{3}{4}x[/tex]
Where
x is the number of minutes spent on the internet
We need to find the value of x when y = $6.
So, put y = 6 in the above equation.
[tex]6=\dfrac{3}{4}x\\\\x=\dfrac{6\times 4}{3}\\\\x=8\ min[/tex]
So, 8 minutes must spent on internet.
Is the distance a baseball travels in the air after being hit a discrete random variable, a continuous random variable, or not a random variable?
Answer: a continuous random variable
Step-by-step explanation:
Can you count the distance it traveled? You can't, so it couldn't be discrete because you can count discrete variables.
Can you measure the distance it traveled? You sure can, that makes it a continuous random variable.
Do you know the exact distance it's going to travel? You won't, therefore it's a random variable since you don't know the value beforehand.

Midwest Publishing publishes textbooks. The company uses an 800 number where people can call to ask questions about the textbooks and place orders. Currently, there are 2 representatives handling inquiries. Calls occurring when both lines are in use get a busy signal. Each representative can handle 12 calls per hour. The arrival rate is 20 calls per hour.
Required:
a. How many extension lines should be used if the company wants to handle 90% of the calls immediately?
b. What is the probability that a call will receive a busy signal if your recommendation in part (a) is used?
c. What percentage of calls receive a busy signal for the current telephone system with two extension lines?
Answer:
A. 18 calls
B. 0.9
C. 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of representatives=2,
Number of extension lines=2,
Average calls each representative can accommodate per hour = 15 calls,
Arrival rate per hour = 30 calls
(a) 90% of the arrival rate = 0.09 × 20 = 18 calls
To handle 18 calls immediately, 18 extension lines should be used
(b) Probability is given by number of possible outcomes ÷ number of total outcomes
Number of possible outcomes = 18, number of total outcomes = 20
Probability (call will receive busy signal) = 18/20 = 0.9
(c) For one extension line, numbers of calls to receive busy signal = 20 - 10 = 10 calls
Number of calls to receive busy signal for the current telephone system with two extension lines = 2 × 10 = 20 calls
In a given region, the number of tornadoes in a one-week period is modeled by a Poisson distribution with mean 2. The numbers of tornadoes in different weeks are mutually independent. Calculate the probability that fewer than four tornadoes occur in a three-week period.
Answer:
0.1512 = 15.12% probability that fewer than four tornadoes occur in a three-week period.
Step-by-step explanation:
In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:
[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]
In which
x is the number of sucesses
e = 2.71828 is the Euler number
[tex]\mu[/tex] is the mean in the given interval.
In a given region, the number of tornadoes in a one-week period is modeled by a Poisson distribution with mean 2
Three weeks, so [tex]\mu = 2*3 = 6[/tex]
Calculate the probability that fewer than four tornadoes occur in a three-week period.
This is:
[tex]P(X < 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)[/tex]
In which
[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-6}*6^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.0025[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-6}*6^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.0149[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-6}*6^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.0446[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 3) = \frac{e^{-6}*6^{3}}{(3)!} = 0.0892[/tex]
Then
[tex]P(X < 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.0025 + 0.0149 + 0.0446 + 0.0892 = 0.1512[/tex]
0.1512 = 15.12% probability that fewer than four tornadoes occur in a three-week period.

Answer:
6.09 is the answer rounded to nearest hundredths.
Step-by-step explanation:
It gives you n=150, p=0.55, and q=1-p.
If p=0.55 and q=1-p, then by substitution property we have q=1-0.55=0.45.
It ask you to evaluate the expression sqrt(npq).
So npq means find the product of 150 and 0.55 and 0.45. So that is 150(0.55)(0.45)=37.125.
The sqrt(npq) means we need to find the square root of that product. So sqrt(37.125)=6.093 approximately .

Two mechanics worked on a car. The first mechanic worked for 10 hours, and the second mechanic worked for 5 hours. Together they charged a total of $1125. What was the rate charged per hour by each mechanic if the sum of the two rates was $140 per hour?
Answer:
The first mechanic charged $ 85 an hour, and the second mechanic charged $ 55 an hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that two mechanics worked on a car, and the first mechanic worked for 10 hours, and the second mechanic worked for 5 hours, and together they charged a total of $ 1125, to determine what was the rate charged per hour by each mechanic if the sum of the two rates was $ 140 per hour, the following calculation must be performed:
1125/15 = X
75 = X
80 x 10 + 60 x 5 = 800 + 300 = 1100
85 x 10 + 55 x 5 = 850 + 275 = 1125
Therefore, the first mechanic charged $ 85 an hour, and the second mechanic charged $ 55 an hour.

If the mean, median, and mode are all equal for the set (10, 80, 70, 120, x}, find the value of x.
X
(Simplify your answer. Type an integer or a decimal.)
Question Viewer
Answer:
x=70
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we know that the mode is the number that is the most common. As each value in the set so far only has one of each number, we know that x must be one of the current numbers, making that the mode.
Next, because x is the mode and has to be the median as well, and our number line so far is
(10, 70, 80, 120), x must be either 70 or 80 to make it the median. This is because if x is 10 or 120, we would end up with (10, 10, 70, 80, 120) with 70 as the median or (10, 70, 80, 120, 120) with 80 as the median.
Finally, to calculate the mean, we have
mean = sum / count
The mean must be x, as it is equal to the mode, so we have
x = (10+70+80+120 + x)/5 (as there are 5 numbers including x)
multiply both sides by 5 to remove the denominator
5 * x = 10+70+80+120+x
5 * x = 280 + x
subtract x from both sides to isolate the x and the coefficient
4 * x = 280
divide both sides by 4 to get x
x= 70
We see that x is 70 or 80 and is one of the current numbers, checking off all boxes.
Pyramid Lake is on the Paiute Indian Reservation in Nevada. The lake is famous for cutthroat trout. Suppose a friend tells you that the average length of trout caught in Pyramid Lake is µ = 19 inches. However, a survey reported that of a random sample of 46 fish caught, the mean length was x = 18.6 inches, with estimated standard deviation s = 3.1 inches. Do these data indicate that the average length of a trout caught in Pyramid Lake is less than µ = 19 inches? Use ???? = 0.05.
Answer:

Now,
The test statistics will be:
= [tex]\frac{\bar x-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]
By substituting the values, we get

Use the box below to show clearly how you get your answer.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
this is the famous dirt formula, :P I made it up :D
D=rt ( notice it looks like Dirt , kinda, but it also means it dirt simple )
D= distance
r = rate ( think speed or how fast)
t = time ( in what ever units of time you want to use, seconds, minutes, hours )
13:28 - 11:20 = 128 minutes ( b/c the question is asking in MPH convert to hours) 2.4666667 hours
210 miles = r * 2.46666667
210 / 2.46666667 = r ( in MPH) ( does anyone else find it odd that they are saying miles in London instead of kilometers? :/ )
85.135 MPH = rate
so no, not even close to 104 MPH :/
Answer:
Average speed is 98 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\frac{distance (miles)}{time (hours)}[/tex] = speed [tex]\frac{mile}{hours}[/tex] (miles per hour is a ratio)
The time is 2 hours and 8 minutes.
[tex]\frac{8}{60}[/tex] = .13333 ( 8 minutes / 60 minutes in a hour)
So time is 2.133333 hours .
Divide the distance 210 by the time 2.13333 and get the speed.
Its 98.437..
Round to 98 miles per hour.
