PLZ ANSWER-Patti is using mental math to evaluate the expression (70 + 12.8 + 30)+ 6.1. She recognizes that the expression will

be easier to simplify if she can combine 70 and 30 before she works with the other numbers. How do the properties of operations allow Patti to take that approach?

Answer:

COMMUTATIVE PROPERTY OF ADDITION.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Expression is ( 70 + 12.8 + 30 ) + 6.1

Yes the expression will be easier to simplify if she can combine 70 and 30 before works with the other numbers.

She can only do this if she exchanges position of 12.8 and 30 in the bracket.

And this can be done using COMMUTATIVE PROPERTY OF ADDITION.

COMMUTATIVE PROPERTY OF ADDITION : This property allows us to reorder the position of numbers.

a + b = b + a

After using this property she can add 70 & 30 and then simplify the expression further.

Consider,

( 70 + 12.8 + 30 ) + 6.1

using mentioned property we get,

= ( 70 + 30 + 12.8 ) + 6.1

= ( 100 + 12.8 ) + 6.1

= 112.8 + 6.1

= 118.9

Let's take a look at x/25 ratio, which has to be equal 6/5.

$\frac{x}{25}= \frac{6}{5} \\
25*6=5x\\
5x=150\\
x=30$

The answer is 30 inches.

A physical therapist wants to determine the difference in the proportion of men and women who participate in regular sustained p

Studentka2010 [4]

Using the z-distribution, it is found that the needed sample sizes are:

a) 242

b) 1842

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which z is the z-score that has a p-value of $\frac{1+\alpha}{2}$ .

The margin of error is:

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

99% confidence level, hence $\alpha = 0.99$ , z is the value of Z that has a p-value of $\frac{1+0.99}{2} = 0.995$ , so $z = 2.575$ .

Item a:

The estimate is:

$\pi = 0.223 - 0.189 = 0.034$

The sample size is <u>n for which M = 0.03</u>, then:

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

$0.03 = 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.034(0.966)}{n}}$

$0.03\sqrt{n} = 2.575\sqrt{0.034(0.966)}$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.575\sqrt{0.034(0.966)}}{0.03}$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = \left(\frac{2.575\sqrt{0.034(0.966)}}{0.03}\right)^2$

$n = 241.97$

Rounding up, a sample of 242 is needed.

Item b:

No prior estimates, hence $\pi = 0.5$ is used.

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

$0.03 = 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.5(0.5)}{n}}$

$0.03\sqrt{n} = 2.575\sqrt{0.5(0.5)}$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.575\sqrt{0.5(0.5)}}{0.03}$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = \left(\frac{2.575\sqrt{0.5(0.5)}}{0.03}\right)^2$

$n = 1841.8$

Rounding up, a sample of 1842 is needed.
