The solution to the product of 8 and three-seventh is 2 2/7. According to Laura, she made mistake in step 2 by adding 8 and 3 instead of multiplying

Multiplication of fractions and integers

Fractions are written as a ratio of two integers. For instance a/b is a fraction where a and b are integers.

Given the following equation

Multiply 3/7 and 8

This is expressed mathematically as;

3/7 * 8

Step 1: Swap to have;

8 * 3/7

Step 2: Group the numerator

(8*2)/7

Step 3; Simplify

16/7

Step 4; Convert to mixed fraction

16/7= 2 2/7

The solution to the product of 8 and three-seventh is 2 2/7. According to Laura, she made mistake in step 2 by adding 8 and 3 instead of multiplying

SCCoast, an Internet provider in the Southeast, developed the following frequency distribution on the age of Internet users. Fin

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

Mean: 40.17 years.

Standard deviation: 10.97 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

The frequency distribution is in the attached image.

We can calculate the mean adding the multiplication of midpoints of each class and frequency, and dividing by the sample size.

The midpoints of a class is calculated as the average of the bounds of the class.

Then, the mean can be written as:

$E(X)=\dfrac{1}{N}\sum f_iX_i\\\\\\E(X)=\dfrac{1}{60}(3\cdot15+7\cdot25+18\cdot35+20\cdot45+12\cdot 55)=\dfrac{45+175+630+900+660}{60}\\\\\\E(X)=\dfrac{2,410}{60}=40.17$

The standard deviation can be calculated as:

$s=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{N-1}\sum f_i(X_i-E(X))^2}\\\\\\s=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{59}[3(15-40.17)^2+7(25-40.17)^2+18(35-40.17)^2+20(45-40.17)^2+12(55-40.17)^2]}$

$\\\\\\s=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{59}( 1,900.59 + 1,610.90 + 481.12 + 466.58 + 2,639.15 )}\\\\\\s=\sqrt{\dfrac{ 7,098.33 }{59}}=\sqrt{120}=10.97$

Answer:

We are 95% confident that the proportion of all Money magazine subscribers that made money in the previous year from their investments is between 0.6904 and 0.8218

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval gives a range of values for which a population proportion will fall based on a given level of confidence, in this case it is 95%. This interval is calculated using the sample proportion. The sample proportion in this case is based on a number of samples examined. The interval we obtain in this case (0.6904; 0.8218) is the estimated range which we expect the population proportion to fall ; with a 95% confidence.

Are these rates equivalent, 96 words typed for 3 minutes; 160 words typed for 5 minutes

monitta

<h2>Greetings</h2>

Answer:

Yes, they are.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets simplify both rates to the rate typer per minute.

(m is minutes)

3m = 96

Divide both sides by 3:

$\frac{3m}{3} = \frac{96}{3}$

m = 32

So the rate is 32 words per minute.

5m = 160

Divide both sides by 5:

$\frac{5m}{5} = \frac{160}{5}$

m = 32

<h3>So because the rates per minute are the same, they are equivalent.</h3>
