Answer:

2½

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the Least Common Denominator [LCD], which is 6, then convert 5⅙:

5⅙ → 4 7⁄6

5 \frac{1}{6}  - 2 \frac{2}{3}  = 4 \frac{7}{6}  -  2 \frac{4}{6}  = 2 \frac{3}{6}  = 2 \frac{1}{2}

You see, we regrouped 1 from 5⅙ to make sure that the top mixed number had a higher value than the bottom mixed number, so it is much easier to work with.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.

Since we are not given any information about the proportion, we will assume the sample proportion to be 0.50

so,
p = 0.50
The Error is 10% percentage point. This means that on either side of the population proportion the error is 5% so E = 0.05
z = 1.645 (Z value for 90% confidence interval)

The margin of error for population proportion is calculated as:

E=z* \sqrt{ \frac{p(1-p)}{n} }  \\  \\ 
 \frac{E}{z} = \sqrt{ \frac{p(1-p)}{n} }  \\  \\ 
( \frac{E}{z} )^{2}= \frac{p(1-p)}{n} \\  \\ 
n= p(1-p)* (\frac{z}{E})^{2}  \\  \\ 
n=271

This means 271 students should be included in the sample

Use complete sentences to describe the range of the sine function.
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
The Range of a function is the set of all values that that function can take.

Given the sine function f(x)=sinx,

This function is the function which calculates the sine of the values of x.

According to the definition of the sine of an angle x in the unit circle, 

-1 \leq sinx \leq 1,

so the sine of an angle is always larger or equal to -1, and smaller or equal to 1.

This means that the values that the sine function takes are any values between -1 and 1, inclusive.

This determines the Range of the sine function. 

So the Range of the sine function is [-1, 1]

Carmen's golf score is 6 strokes less than Linda's. Their two scores total 156. What is each girls score?​
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

Carmen's score is 75 strokes.

Linda's score is 81 strokes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the score of Linda be "x".  

<em>It is given that Carmen's golf score is 6 strokes less than Linda's.</em>

Thus, Carmen's score is (x-6).

The total score of the girls is

= x + (x-6) = 2x-6

The total score is given to be 156.

Thus, the equation becomes,

2x-6 = 156

2x= 162

x = 81

<em>Thus Linda's score is 81 and Carmen's score is (156-81) 75.</em>
