Ahoy there, matey! Our pirate ship had 5/6 of a treasure chest full of gold.

Answer:

1 \frac{5}{24} teasure chests of gold

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a problem of adding or subtracting fractions, you will have to do one or the other to solve.  Since the pirates already had \frac{5}{6} of a treasure chest of gold and stole another \frac{3}{8} of a treasure chest to add to their collection, we need to add these two fractions:

\frac{5}{6}+\frac{3}{8}

In order to add or subtract fractions, you need to have a common denominator.  Choosing a common denominator means looking for the lowest common multiple of the two denominators:

6: 6, 12, 18, 24

8: 8, 16, 24

\frac{5}{6}=\frac{20}{24}and\frac{3}{8}=\frac{9}{24}

Add them together:  \frac{20}{24}+\frac{9}{24}=\frac{29}{24}=1\frac{5}{24}

Last month, when Joe took his puppy to the veterinarian, the puppy weighed 4.6 pounds. This month, the puppy weighed 5.98 pounds
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]
Percent increase : (new number - original number) / (original number)....then multiply that by 100 to get ur percent.

(5.98 - 4.6) / (4.6) = 1.38/4.6 = 0.3......0.3 x 100 = 30% <==

A horticulturist working for a large plant nursery is conducting experiments on the growth rate of a new shrub. Based on previou
valkas [14]

Answer:

t=\frac{1.8-2}{\frac{0.5}{\sqrt{48}}}=-2.771    

The degrees of freedom are given by:

df=n-1=48-1=47  

And the p value would be:

p_v =P(t_{(47)}    

Since the p value is lower than the significance level we have enough evidence to conclude that the true mean for this case for the growth rate is less than 2cm per week

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

\bar X=1.8 represent the sample mean for the growth

s=0.5 represent the sample standard deviation    

n=48 sample size    

\mu_o =2 represent the value that we want to compare

\alpha=0.01 represent the significance level

t would represent the statistic    

p_v represent the p value

System of hypothesis

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean is less than 2cm per week, the system of hypothesis are :    

Null hypothesis:\mu \geq 2    

Alternative hypothesis:\mu < 2    

Since we don't know the population deviation the statistic is given by:

t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}} (1)    

Replacing the info given we got:

t=\frac{1.8-2}{\frac{0.5}{\sqrt{48}}}=-2.771    

The degrees of freedom are given by:

df=n-1=48-1=47  

And the p value would be:

p_v =P(t_{(47)}    

Since the p value is lower than the significance level we have enough evidence to conclude that the true mean for this case for the growth rate is less than 2cm per week
