Solving the fraction $(\frac{-2}{x}+\frac{5}{y})\div (\frac{3}{y}-\frac{2}{x})$ we get $=(\frac{-2y+5x}{3x-2y})$

So, Option A is correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the complex fraction: StartFraction negative 2 Over x EndFraction + StartFraction 5 Over y EndFraction divided by StartFraction 3 Over y EndFraction minus StartFraction 2 Over x EndFraction

Writing in mathematical form:

$(\frac{-2}{x}+\frac{5}{y})\div (\frac{3}{y}-\frac{2}{x})$

Solving the fraction:

$(\frac{-2}{x}+\frac{5}{y})\div (\frac{3}{y}-\frac{2}{x})\\Taking\,\,LCM\\=(\frac{-2y+5x}{xy})\div (\frac{3x-2y}{yx})\\Converting\,\,\div \,\,into\,\,multiplication\\=(\frac{-2y+5x}{xy})\times (\frac{yx}{3x-2y})\\Canceling\,\,like\,\,terms:\\=(\frac{-2y+5x}{3x-2y})$

So, solving the fraction $(\frac{-2}{x}+\frac{5}{y})\div (\frac{3}{y}-\frac{2}{x})$ we get $=(\frac{-2y+5x}{3x-2y})$

In words the answer will be: StartFraction negative 2 y + 5 x Over 3 x minus 2 y EndFraction

So, Option A is correct answer.

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

a. Since 10 out of 70 had a tag we can write the ratio 10:70. We need to solve for x in 90:x. x = 630 so the answer is 630.

b. An assumption he could have made is that the number of deer that had a tag and the total amount of deer were directly proportional.

The parallel dotplots below display the girths (belly

liraira [26]

Answer:

The standard deviation for the distribution of girths is

about the same for both male and female pigs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

We will interprete the dotplots

For the Male pigs

24, 26, 26, 26, 26, 26, 26, 28, 28, 28, 28, 28, 28, 28, 28, 28, 28, 28, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 32

Range

Maximum value - Minimum value

= 32 - 24

= 8

IQR = Interquartile range = Q3 - Q1

Q1 formula = 1/4(n + 1)th

=n = 25

= 1/4(25 + 1)

= 1/4(26)

= 26/4

= 6.5

This mean the value is between the 6th and 7th value

6th value = 26

7th value = 26

Q1 = 26 + 26/2

Q1 = 26

Q3 formula = 3/4(n + 1)th

=n = 25

= 3/4(25 + 1)

= 3/4(26)

= 78/4

= 19.5

This mean the value is between the 19th and 20th value

19th value = 30

20th value = 30

Q3= 30+ 30/2

= 30

IQR = 30 - 26

= 4

Standard deviation

Mean

First we find the mean

= 24+ 26+26+ 26+ 26+ 26+26+28+ 28+ 28+ 28+28+ 28+ 28+28+ 28+28+28+30+ 30+30+ 30+30+30+32/28

= 700/25

= 28

Standard deviation Formula = √(x - mean)²/n - 1

= √[(24-28)² + (26- 28)² + (26 -28)² + (26 - 28)² +................ (32 - 28)²]/25 - 1

= √(16 + 4 + 4+ 4+ 4+4+ 4+0+ 0+ 0+ 0+0+ 0+ 0+ 0+0+0+0+ 4+ 4+4+4+4+ 4+ 16)/25 - 1

= √80/25 - 1

=√3.333333333

Female Pigs

21, 23, 23, 23,23,23,23,25, 25, 25, 25, 25, 25, 25, 25, 25, 25,25, 27, 27, 27, 27,27, 27, 29

Range:

Maximum value - Minimum value

= 29 - 21

IQR

IQR = Interquartile range = Q3 - Q1

Q1 formula = 1/4(n + 1)th

=n = 25

= 1/4(25 + 1)

= 1/4(26)

= 26/4

= 6.5

This mean the value is between the 6th and 7th value

6th value = 23

7th value = 23

Q1 = 23 + 23/2

Q1 = 23

Q3 formula = 3/4(n + 1)th

=n = 25

= 3/4(25 + 1)

= 3/4(26)

= 78/4

= 19.5

This mean the value is between the 19th and 20th value

19th value = 27

20th value = 27

Q3= 27+ 27/2

Q3 = 27

IQR = 27 - 23

= 4

First we find the Mean

=(21+23+23+23+23+23+23+25+ 25+ 25+ 25+25+ 25+ 25+ 25+25+25+25+27+27+ 27+27+27+ 27+29)/25

= 625/25

= 25

Standard deviation Formula = √(x - mean)²/n - 1

= √[(21-25)² + (23- 25)² + (23 -25)² + (23 - 25)² +................ (29 - 25)²]/25 - 1

= √(16 + 4 + 4+ 4+ 4+4+ 4+0+ 0+ 0+ 0+0+ 0+ 0+ 0+0+0+0+ 4+ 4+4+4+4+ 4+ 16)/25 - 1

= √80/25 - 1

=√3.333333333

1.825741858

Looking at the calculation above and comparing both the girths from the male and female

We can conclude that: The standard deviation for the distribution of girths is

about the same for both male and female pigs which is 1.825741858
