Larry has 7 more dimes than nickels, for a total value of $1.45. If n represents the number of nickels, which

What number should be added to 7/12 to get 4/15?

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number = x.

We are trying to find out what number (x) we would need to add to 7/12 to get 4/15

$\frac{7}{12} + x = \frac{4}{15}$

Subtract 7/12 from both sides.

$x = \frac{4}{15} - \frac{7}{12}$

We need to make the denominators of the fractions the same.

$\frac{4}{15} = \frac{16}{60}$

$\frac{7}{12} = \frac{35}{60}$

So,

$x = \frac{16}{60} - \frac{35}{60} = - \frac{19}{60}$

A study is planned to compare the proportion of men who dislike anchovies with the proportion of women who dislike anchovies. Th

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

The requirements are satisifed since we have the proportion estimated, the sample sizes provided, we assume random sampling for the selection of the data and the distribution for the difference of proportions can be considered as normal

$z=\frac{0.67-0.84}{\sqrt{0.755(1-0.755)(\frac{1}{41}+\frac{1}{56})}}=-1.923$

Step-by-step explanation:

The requirements are satisifed since we have the proportion estimated, the sample sizes provided, we assume random sampling for the selection of the data and the distribution for the difference of proportions can be considered as normal

Data given and notation

$n_{M}=41$ sample of male selected

$n_{W}=56$ sample of demale selected

$p_{M}=0.57$ represent the proportion of men who dislike anchovies

$p_{WCB}=0.84$ represent the proportion of women who dislike anchovies

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the value for the test (variable of interest)

Concepts and formulas to use

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the proportion for men is different from women , the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $p_{M} = p_{W}$

Alternative hypothesis: $p_{M} \neq p_{W}$

We need to apply a z test to compare proportions, and the statistic is given by:

$z=\frac{p_{M}-p_{W}}{\sqrt{\hat p (1-\hat p)(\frac{1}{n_{M}}+\frac{1}{n_{W}})}}$ (1)

Where $\hat p=\frac{X_{M}+X_{W}}{n_{M}+n_{W}}=\frac{0.67+0.84}{2}=0.755$

z-test: Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine whether the means of two groups are equal to each other.

Calculate the statistic

Replacing in formula (1) the values obtained we got this:

$z=\frac{0.67-0.84}{\sqrt{0.755(1-0.755)(\frac{1}{41}+\frac{1}{56})}}=-1.923$

Jayden has some dimes and some quarters. He has at most 25 coins worth at least $4.60 combined. If Jayden has 7 dimes, determine

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A dime is worth 10 cents. Converting to dollars, it becomes 10/100 = $0.1

A quarter is worth 25 cents. Converting to dollars, it becomes 25/100 = $0.25

Let x represent the number of dimes that Jayden has.

Let y represent the number of quarters that Jayden has.

Jayden has some dimes and some quarters. He has at most 25 coins. It means that

x + y ≤ 25

The coins worth at least $4.60 combined. It means that

0.1x + 0.25y ≥ 4.6 - - - - - - - - - - 1

If Jayden has 7 dimes, then

7 + y ≤ 25

y ≤ 25 - 7

y ≤ 18

Substituting x = 7 into equation 1, it becomes

0.1 × 7 + 0.25y ≥ 4.6

0.7 + 0.25y ≥ 4.6

0.25y ≥ 4.6 - 0.7

0.25y ≥ 3.9

y ≥ 3.9/0.25

y ≥ 15.6

All possible values for the number of quarters that he could have would be

15.6 ≤ y ≤ 18

Radda [10]

A wall is in the shape of a trapezoid and it can be divided into a rectangle and a triangle. A triangle is with angles 45°- 45° - 90°. The hypotenuse of that triangle is 13√2 ft.Using the 45° - 45° - 90° theorem, sides of that triangle are in the proportion:x : x : x√2, and since that x√2 = 13√2 ( hypotenuse ), x = 13.Therefore h = 13 ft.We can check it: c² = 13² + 13²,c² = 169 + 169c² = 338c = √ 338 = 13√2Answer: h = 13 ft
