Answer: -4/6 or -2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you find a common denominator among the fractions, which would be 6.
Convert -1/2 to have 6 as its denominator.
-1/2* 3/3 = -3/6
And then subtract them.
-3/6 - 1/6 = -4/6
-4/6 simplified is -2/3
When you subtract a positive number from a negative number, you are adding their absolute values.
Find the medien: 16,12,10,15,7,9,16
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
arrange the numbers in ascending order and cross out from either side till you have a middle line
FINAL ANSWER:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
Median is the middle number in the data set.
so first of ... we need to arrange the group of numbers from lower to greater.
16, 12, 10, 15, 7, 9, 16 ⇒ 7, 9, 10, 12, 15, 16, 16
Now that we have arranged the numbers from least to greatest all we need to do is to find the middle number of the data set (data set? they are the group of numbers)
Ok, so what you want to do here is to just count the numbers until you get to the middle number of the data set...
7, 9, 10, 12, 15, 16, 16
the median in the given data set is 12.
I hope this helps you!!! Let me know if my answer is incorrect or not...

it is found that 4% of watches produced at a particular factory are defective. If 20 watches made at this factory are randomly selected, what is the probbility that at mpst 1 watch in the same sample is found to be defective
Answer:
0.81 = 81% probability that at most 1 watch in the sample is defective.
Step-by-step explanation:
For each watch, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is defective, or it is not. The probability of a watch being defective is independent of any other watch, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
And p is the probability of X happening.
4% of watches produced at a particular factory are defective.
This means that [tex]p = 0.04[/tex]
20 watches made at this factory are randomly selected
This means that [tex]n = 20[/tex]
What is the probability that at most 1 watch in the same sample is found to be defective?
This is:
[tex]P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)[/tex]
In which
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{20,0}.(0.04)^{0}.(0.96)^{20} = 0.442[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{20,1}.(0.04)^{1}.(0.96)^{19} = 0.368[/tex]
Then
[tex]P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.442 + 0.368 = 0.81[/tex]
0.81 = 81% probability that at most 1 watch in the sample is defective.

Select the correct answer.
Which is the minimum or maximum value of the given function?
dndnsn
Answer:
See explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is incomplete, as the function is not given. So, I will make an assumption.
A quadratic function is represented as:
[tex]f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c[/tex]
If [tex]a > 0[/tex], then the function has a minimum x value
E.g. [tex]f(x) = 4x^2 - 5x + 8[/tex] ------ [tex]4 > 0[/tex]
Else, then the function has a maximum x value
E.g. [tex]f(x)= -4x^2 -5x + 8[/tex] ---- [tex]-4 < 0[/tex]
The maximum or minimum x value is calculated using:
[tex]x = -\frac{b}{2a}[/tex]
For instance, the maximum of [tex]f(x)= -4x^2 -5x + 8[/tex] is:
[tex]x = -\frac{-5}{2*-4}[/tex]
[tex]x = -\frac{5}{8}[/tex]
So, the maximum of the function is:
[tex]f(x)= -4x^2 -5x + 8[/tex]
[tex]f(-\frac{5}{8}) = -4 * (-\frac{5}{8})^2 - 5 *(-\frac{5}{8}) +8[/tex]
[tex]f(-\frac{5}{8}) = 9.5625[/tex]

The line l with equation x - 2y + 2 = 0 crosses the y-axis at the point P. The line
m with equation 3x + y - 15 = 0 crosses the y-axis at the point Q and intersects
l at the point R. Find the area of triangle PQR.
Answer:
Area of ΔPQR is 28 units²
Step-by-step explanation:
-P is the point with coordinates ( 0, y-intercept for line x-2y+2 =0)
-rearrange the equation in the point-slope form y=mx+b to find the y coordinate of the point P( 0, b)
x-2y+2 = 0, subtract x and 2 from both sides
-2y = -x-2, divide by -2 both sides
y= (1/2)x +1 so b=1 and P (0, 1)
-Q is the point with coordinates ( 0, y-intercept for line 3x+y -15 =0)
-rearrange the equation in the point-slope form y=mx+b to find the y coordinate of the point Q( 0, b)
3x +y -15 =0, subtract 3x and add 15 to both sides
y= -3x +15 so b=15 and Q(0,15)
-R is the intersection of the two lines so is the solution of the system of equations y= (1/2)x +1 and y= -3x +15
(1/2)x +1 = -3x +15, add 3x and subtract1
(1/2) x+3x = 15-1, combine like terms
(7/2)x = 14 , multiply both sides by 2
7x = 28, divide both sides by 7
x= 4
y= (1/2)x +1 = (4/2) +1 =3 so R(4,3)
- the area of ΔPQR is (base *height)/2
base= 15-1= 14
height = 4
A= (14*4)/2 = 14*2 = 28
HELPPP PLEASE ASAP!!! I don’t know how to solve this problem nor where to start? Can some please help me out and explain how you got the answer please. Thank you for your time.
Step-by-step explanation:
Count the number of times you have to move the decimal point to the right until it is to the right of the 1st nonzero number.
a) You have to move the decimal point 11 times until it gets to the right of the 1st nonzero number, which is 7. You then rewrite this number as
[tex]7.2×10^{-11}[/tex]
The exponent of 10 is a negative number because you moved the decimal point to the right.
b) Similarly, you have to move the point 9 times to the right so the answer is
[tex]9.5×10^{-9}[/tex]

A trough has ends shaped like isosceles triangles, with width 2 m and height 5 m, and the trough is 18 m long. Water is being pumped into the trough at a rate of 8 m3/min. At what rate (in m/min) does the height of the water change when the water is 2 m deep
9514 1404 393
Answer:
5/9 m/min
Step-by-step explanation:
The depth of the water is 2/5 of the depth of the trough, so the width of the surface will be 2/5 of the width of the trough:
2/5 × 2 m = 4/5 m
Then the surface area of the water is ...
A = LW = (18 m)(4/5 m) = 14.4 m²
The rate of change of height multiplied by the area gives the rate of change of volume:
8 m³/min = (14.4 m²)(h')
h' = (8 m³/min)/(14.4 m²) = 5/9 m/min

A survey of households in a small town showed that in 850 of 1,200 sampled households, at least one member attended a town meeting during the year. Using the 99% level of confidence, what is the confidence interval for the proportion of households represented at a town meeting?
Answer:
Hence the confidence interval is ( 0.6745, 0.7422).
Step-by-step explanation:
Now the given are
Sample size = n = 1200
x = 850
Sample proportion is
[tex]\hat{p}=\frac{x}{n}=\frac{850}{1200}=0.7083[/tex]
We have to construct 99% confidence interval for the population proportion.
Formula Used:
[tex](\hat{p}-E , \hat{p}+E)[/tex]
Here E is a margin of error.
[tex]E =Zc\times\sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}[/tex]
Zc = 2.58
[tex]E =2.58\times\sqrt{\frac{0.7083*(1-0.7083)}{1200}}\\\\E=2.58\times\sqrt{0.000172}=0.0339[/tex]
So confidence interval is ( 0.7083 - 0.0339 , 0.7083 + 0.0339)
= ( 0.6745 , 0.7422).

The random variable x is the number of males in the group who have a form of color blindness (based on data from the National Institutes of Health).X Px0 0.6591 0.2872 0.0503 0.0044 0.0015 0+In determine whether a probability distribution is given. If a probability distribution is given, find its mean and standard deviation. If a probability distribution is not given, identify the requirements that are not satisfied.
Answer:
The sum of the probabilities of all possible outcomes is not 1, which means that a probability distribution is not given.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given these following probabilities:
[tex]P(X = 0) = 0.6591[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 1) = 0.2872[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 2) = 0.0503[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 3) = 0.0044[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 4) = 0.0015[/tex]
Determine whether a probability distribution is given.
We have to see if the sum of the probabilities of all possible outcomes is 1. So
[tex]0.6591 + 0.2872 + 0.0503 + 0.0044 + 0.0015 = 1.0025[/tex]
The sum of the probabilities of all possible outcomes is not 1, which means that a probability distribution is not given.
