Several batches of stew were made yesterday. Each batch required 1 and two-thirds pounds of meat. All together, 10 and StartFrac

tion 5 over 6 EndFraction pounds of meat was used. Janice tried to find the number of batches of stew made. Her work is shown below. 10 and StartFraction 5 over 6 EndFraction divided by 1 and two-thirds = StartFraction 65 over 6 EndFraction divided by five halves = StartFraction 65 over 6 EndFraction times StartFraction 2 over 5 EndFraction = StartFraction 130 over 30 EndFraction = 4 and one-third When she checked the answer by estimating, it did not make sense. What error did Janice make? Janice converted a mixed number to the wrong improper fraction. Janice added the numerators and denominators instead of multiplying. Janice did not change the division problem to multiplication. Janice did not convert the improper fraction to a mixed number correctly in the answer.

Answer:

Janice converted a mixed number to the wrong improper fraction.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 batch of stew uses 1 and 2/3 lb meat

Total amount of meat used - 10 and 5/6 lb

x = number of stew batches made

To get number of batches made, divide total meat used by the amount of meat each batch requires:

x = 10 5/6 ÷ 1 2/3

convert mixed fractions to improper fractions:

x = (10x6+5)/6 ÷ (1x3+2)/3

x = 65/6 ÷ 5/3

The fraction in bold numbers is where Janice got it wrong. She changed 1 2/3 to 5/2. (From the question: 10 and StartFraction 5 over 6 EndFraction divided by 1 and two-thirds = StartFraction 65 over 6 EndFraction divided by five halves). 1 2/3 converted to an improper fraction is 5/3. From this point going forward, the calculations are wrong.

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Degrees of freedom</em> is the number of values in the final calculation of a statistic that are free to vary. Degrees of freedom are related to sample size and calculated by n-1 where n is the <em>sample size</em>.

The Supervisor selects 10 teddy bears as sample from 5000 teddy bears produced daily.  Therefore in this situation, there are 10-1=9 degrees of freedom

Mr. Barth is painting an arrow on the school parking lot. He draws the edges between the following points on the coordinate plan
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

<u>70 square units</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>I have plotted the points on the coordinate system and connected roughly using a red line. Image is attached. </em>

The arrow created, consists of a TRIANGLE and a RECTANGLE. The area of the arrow would be:

Area of Arrow = Area of Triangle + Area of Rectangle

Area of Triangle = 0.5 * base * height

Base is 12 units

Height is 7 units, so

Area of Triangle = 0.5 * 12 * 7 = 42

Now,

Area of Rectangle = length * height

Length is 7

Height is 4

Area of Rectangle = 7 * 4 = 28

<u>Area of Arrow = 42 + 28 = 70 square units</u>

Judy’s measured potassium level varies according to the Normal distribution with μ = 3.8 and σ = 0.2 mmol/l. Let us consider wha
Basile [38]

Answer:

The blood potassium level L such that the probability is only 0.05 that the average of four measurements is less than L is 3.64.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we have to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central limit theorem:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sample means of size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation, which is also called standard error s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 3.8, \sigma = 0.2, n = 4, s = \frac{0.2}{\sqrt{4}} = 0.1

What is the blood potassium level L such that the probability is only 0.05 that the average of four measurements is less than L?

This is the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.05. So it is X when Z = -1.645.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

-1.645 = \frac{X - 3.8}{0.1}

X - 3.8 = -1.645*0.1

X = 3.64

The blood potassium level L such that the probability is only 0.05 that the average of four measurements is less than L is 3.64.
