X+24*(1/x)=11
x+24/x=11
x²+24=11x
x²-11x+24=0
(x+3)(x-8)=0
x=-3, x=8
checking : 8+24*(1/8)=11, 8+3=11 correct
-3+24*(1/-3)=-3-8=-11 incorrect
number is 8, reciprocal is 1/8

Hi there!

I believe your answer is:

65% has the greater value.

»»————-　★　————-««

Here’s why:

We can convert both numbers into decimals and then compare the values.

⸻⸻⸻⸻

$\boxed{\text{Comparing Numbers:}}\\\\-------------\\\rightarrow\frac{16}{25}= 0.64\\\\\rightarrow 65\%=\frac{65}{100}=0.65\\ -------------\\\\\boxed{0.65 > 0.64}\\\\\text{Therefore:}\\\\\boxed{65\% > \frac{16}{25}}$

A hypothesis test is to be performed for a population proportion. For the given sample data and null hypothesis, compute the val

liberstina [14]

Answer:

The correct option is a

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The sample size is n = 415

The sample proportion is $\r p = 0.49$

Now

The null hypothesis is $H_o : p = 0.3$

The alternative hypothesis is $H_a : p \ne 0.3$

The test statistics is mathematically evaluated as

$t = \frac{\r p - p }{ \frac{\sqrt{ p (1- p )} }{n} }$

substituting values

$t = \frac{0.49 - 0.3 }{ \sqrt{ \frac{0.3 (1- 0.3 ) }{415} }}$

$t = 8.446$

VARVARA [1.3K]

Higher-order thinking, known as higher order thinking skills (HOTS), is a concept of education reform based on learning taxonomies (such as Bloom's taxonomy). The idea is that some types of learning require more cognitive processing than others, but also have more generalized benefits.

Higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) is a concept popular in American education. It distinguishes critical thinking skills from low-order learning outcomes, such as those attained by rote memorization. HOTS include synthesizing, analyzing, reasoning, comprehending, application, and evaluation.
