So to get the $ spent on misc items, just add up the other expenses and subtract it from 3600:

2500+650+430=3580\\ \\ 3600-3580=\$ 20

Now to put them into fractions.

Tuition: \frac{2500}{3600}=\frac{25}{36}

Rent: \frac{650}{3600}=\frac{65}{360}

Food: \frac{430}{3600}=\frac{43}{360}

Misc: \frac{20}{3600}=\frac{1}{180}

Answer:

Paula a college student earn 3601 summer during the following semester she spent 2504 tuition 650 for rent and 434 food the rest went for miscellaneous expenses. [ The fraction shows the amount Paula spent in tuition, rent, food, and miscellaneous: 2500+650+430=3580; 3600 - 3580 = $20; Misc: 20/3600 = 1/180; Food: 430/3600 = 43/360; Rent:650/3600 = 65/ 360; Tuition: 2500/ 3600= 25/36. ]

What is not a pair of equivalent fractions for 5/8 and 1/2
n200080 [17]
Two fractions equivalent to each: Just divide or multiply both top AND bottom by the same number.<span>
5/6: 10/12 OR 15/18 
15/30: 5/10 OR 1/2 
45/60: 8/12 OR 4/6 

Rewrite each pair or fractions with common denominator: Find the difference between the two bottom numbers, and multiply top and bottom number. 

5/8 and 3/4: 4X2=8, 3X2=6. So, 5/8 and 6/8. 
2/5 and 1/2: 2/5 and 2.5/5 
9/9 and 5/7: 9/9 and ~5.7/9 

Rewrite each in simple form: Find greatest common factor and divide. 

9/54: 1/6 
20/40: 1/2 
100/110: 10/11 

Are these fractions equivalent? 
No. 5/1 and 5/5 are, because they are both 5 wholes. 1/5 is not because it is a fifth of a whole. 


In what situation can you use multiplication to find equivalent fractions? 
I'm sorry but I do not understand this question.

If LN=54 and LM=31, find MN
kirza4 [7]
In this item, it is unfortunate that a figure, drawing, or illustration is not given. To be able to answer this, it is assumed that these segments are collinear. Points L, M, and N are collinear, and that L lies between MN. 

The length of the whole segment MN is the sum of the length of the subsegments, LN and LM. This can be mathematically expressed,
             LN + LM = MN

We are given with the lengths of the smalller segments and substituting the known values,
             MN = 54 + 31
            MN = 85

<em>ANSWER: MN = 85</em>

Let Xn be the random variable that equals the number of tails minus the number of heads when n fair coins are flipped. What is t
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

the expected value of Xn , E(Xn) = 0 and the variance σ²(Xn) = n*(1-2n)

Step-by-step explanation:

If X1= number of tails when n fair coins are flipped , then X1 follows a binomial distribution with E(X1) = n*p , p=0,5 and the number of heads obtained is X2=n-X1

therefore

Xn =X1-X2 = X1- (n-X1) = 2X1-n

thus

E(Xn) =∑ (2*X1-n) p(X1) =  2*∑[X1 p(X1)] -n∑p(X1) = 2*E(X1)-n = 2*n*p--n= 2*n*1/2 -n = n-n =0

the variance will be

σ²(Xn) = ∑ [Xn - E(Xn)]² p(Xn) = ∑ [(2X1-n) - 0 ]² p(X1) = ∑ (4*X1²-4*X1*n+n²) p(X1) = = 4*∑ X1²p(X1) - 4n ∑X1 p(X1) -  n²∑p(X1) = 2*E(X1²) -4n*E(X1)- n²

since

σ²(X1) = n*p*(1-p) = n*0,5*0,5=n/4

and

σ²(X1) = E(X1²) - [E(X1)]²

n/4 = E(X1²) - (n/2)²

E(X1²) = n(n+1)/4

therefore

σ²(Xn) = 4*E(X1²) -4n*E(X1)- n² = 4*n(n+1)/4 - 4*n*n/2 - n² = n(n+1) - 2n² - n²

= n - 2n² = n(1-2n)

σ²(Xn) = n(1-2n)
