Answer:

The one with the 3/10 of glue left

Step-by-step explanation:

So, first you would want to change the 1/5's denominator to the same denominator as the 3/10's, because we want to compare the two.

- First, you would need to find the common denominator.

The common denominator for 5 and 10 is ten, so we don't need to times anything to 10, but we need to times 1/5 by 2.

1/5* 2/2= 2/10

Now that it is done, we compare the two.

Which one is larger, 2/10 or 3/10?

3/10 is greater, so we put down the 3/10 of glue left.

Hope this helped!

Mama L [17]

Answer:

1. 8.4 2. 15

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 4x+8y= 40

wen y= 0.8

4x+8×0.8=40

4x=40-8×0.8

4x= 40- 6.4= 33.6

....x= 33.6/4 = 8.4

2. 3a+b= 54

wen b= 9

3a+ 9= 54

3a= 54- 9

3a=45

.....a = 45/3 = 15

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

99% Confidence interval: (0.185,0.375)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample size, n = 150

Number of cars that have faulty catalytic converters, x = 42

$\hat{p} = \dfrac{x}{n} = \dfrac{42}{150} = 0.28$

99% Confidence interval:

$\hat{p}\pm z_{stat}\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}$

$z_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.01} = \pm 2.58$

Putting the values, we get:

$0.28\pm 2.58(\sqrt{\frac{0.28(1-0.28)}{150}}) = 0.28\pm 0.095\\\\=(0.185,0.375)$

The 99% confidence interval for the true proportion of new cars with faulty catalytic converters is (0.185,0.375)
