The solution to the algebra 2 and 1 over 10 times negative seven times 5 over 12 is; negative six and 1 over 8

<h3>How to Multiply Fractions?</h3>

2 and 1 over 10 times negative seven times 5 over 12 can also be expressed as; 2¹/₁₀ * ⁽⁻⁷ * ⁵⁾/₁₂

Multiplying out the bracket gives;

²¹/₁₀ * -³⁵/₁₂

Dividing by common factors gives;

= ⁷/₂ * ⁻⁷/₄

= -49/8

= -6¹/₈

This can also be written as negative six and 1 over 8

Thus, we conclude that the solution to the algebra 2 and 1 over 10 times negative seven times 5 over 12 is; negative six and 1 over 8

A grower believes that one in five of his citrus trees are infected with the citrus red mite. How large a sample should be taken

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

n=6147

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Notation and definitions

$X=1$ number of citrus trees that are infected with the citrus red mite.

$n=5$ random sample taken

$\hat p=\frac{1}{5}=0.2$ estimated proportion of citrus trees that are infected with the citrus red mite.

$p$ true population proportion of citrus trees that are infected with the citrus red mite.

Me=0.01 represent the margin of error desired

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The population proportion have the following distribution

$p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}})$

In order to find the critical values we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 95% of confidence, our significance level would be given by $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ . And the critical values would be given by:
