Zero! Who could possibly a Red Sox Fan when the Yankees are in town? Let them mourn the loss of the Babe forever!


Now you have a group of 20 and a group of 15. What you are being asked is what is the smallest number that you could find that can be divided evenly by 15 and 20? Is it 20 * 15=300 or is it something smaller.


The way to solve this is to write out the factors of 15 and 20.


15 = 3*5

20 = 2 * 2 * 5


So the smallest number is

one 3

two 2s

one 5 Don't count these 5s twice.


LCM = 3 * 2 * 2 * 5

LCM = 60.


The smallest group she could see of Yankee Fans and Red Sox Fans is 60 if they both must be equal.


Answer 60 Red Sox Fans.

Among a sample of 55 male soldiers the average shower time was found to be 2.95 minutes and the population standard deviation is
Oksanka [162]

Answer: -3.0593

Step-by-step explanation:

The test statistic for the difference between two population mean (when population standard deviations \sigma_1\ \&\ \sigma_2  are known ) is given by :-

z=\dfrac{\overline{x}_1-\overline{x}_2}{\sqrt{\dfrac{\sigma_1^2}{n_1}+\dfrac{\sigma_2^2}{n_2}}}

where ,

n_1\ \&\ n_2 = Sample sizes taken from two  populations 1 and 2.

\overline{x}_1-\overline{x}_2 = Difference between two Sample mean.

\sigma_1\ \&\ \sigma_2 = Standard deviations of populations 1 and 2.

As per given , we have

n_1=55\ \&\ n_2=58

\overline{x}_1=2.95\ \&\ \overline{x}_2=3.3

\sigma_1=0.65\ \&\ \sigma_2=0.56

We assume that the data follows a normal distribution.

Then, the test statistic will be :-

z=\dfrac{2.95-3.3}{\sqrt{\dfrac{(0.65)^2}{55}+\dfrac{(0.56)^2}{58}}}\\\\=\dfrac{-0.35}{\sqrt{0.0130887}}\\\\=\dfrac{-0.35}{0.1144059}=3.05928278174\approx-3.0593  

Hence, the test statistic= -3.0593

While taking an online pretest for an algebra class, the distance formula was displayed as shown below.
olga_2 [115]

The calculated distance would be in square units instead of linear units.

Answer: Option C.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Distance Formula itself is actually derived from the Pythagorean Theorem. This is the formula where c is the longest side of a right triangle (also known as the hypotenuse) and a and b are the other shorter sides (known as the legs of a right triangle).

The distance formula is derived by creating a triangle and using the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse of the triangle is the distance between the two points.
