Answer:

The towel bar should be placed at a distance of 23\frac{1}{24}\ cm from each edge of the door.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of the towel bar = 24\frac14\ cm

Now given length is in mixed fraction we will convert in fraction.

To Convert mixed fraction into fraction Multiply the whole number part by the fraction's denominator, then Add that to the numerator, then write the result on top of the denominator.

24\frac14\ cm can be Rewritten as \frac{97}{4}\ cm

Length of the towel bar =  \frac{97}{4}\ cm

Length of the door = 70 \frac13\ cm

70 \frac13\ cm can be Rewritten as \frac{211}{3}\ cm

Length of the door = \frac{211}{3}\ cm

We need to find the distance bar should be place at from each edge of the door.

Solution:

Let the distance of bar from each edge of the door be 'x'.

 So as we placed the towel bar in the center of the door it divides into two i.e. '2x'

Now we can say that;

\frac{97}{4}+2x=\frac{211}{3}\\\\2x=\frac{211}{3}-\frac{97}{4}

Now we will take LCM to make the denominators common we get;

2x=\frac{211\times4}{3\times4}-\frac{97\times3}{4\times3}\\\\\\2x= \frac{844}{12}+\frac{281}{12}

Now denominators are common so we will solve the numerators.

2x =\frac{844-291}{12}\\\\2x=\frac{553}{12}\\\\x=\frac{553}{12\times2} =\frac{553}{24}

Or x=23\frac{1}{24}\ cm

Hence The towel bar should be placed at a distance of 23\frac{1}{24}\ cm from each edge of the door.

The answer is..: 23 1/24 CM. I hope it helped it a little! Don't worry, I had the same question and I figured it out quickly. Have a nice time reading this!

The Lars family has a moisture farm on the planet Tatooine. They owned 5 acres of land. They sold 2/7 of their land to the Tuske
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

25/7 acres or 3 4/7 acres

Step-by-step explanation:

The sold 2/7 of the land.

1 - 2/7 = 7/7 - 2/7 = 5/7

They have 5/7 of the land left.

5/7 of 5 acres = 5/7 × 5 acres = 25/7 acres = 3 4/7 acres

Some transportation experts claim that it is the variability of speeds, rather than the level of speeds, that is a critical fact
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The claim made by an expert is that driving conditions are dangerous if the variance of speeds exceeds 75 (mph)².

(1)

The hypothesis for both the test can be defined as:

<em>H</em>₀: The variance of speeds does not exceeds 75 (mph)², i.e. <em>σ</em>² ≤ 75.

<em>Hₐ</em>: The variance of speeds exceeds 75 (mph)², i.e. <em>σ</em>² > 75.

(2)

A Chi-square test will be used to perform the test.

The significance level of the test is, <em>α</em> = 0.05.

The degrees of freedom of the test is,

df = n - 1 = 55 - 1 = 54

Compute the critical value as follows:

\chi^{2}_{\alpha, (n-1)}=\chi^{2}_{0.05, 54}=72.153

Decision rule:

If the test statistic value is more than the critical value then the null hypothesis will be rejected and vice-versa.

(3)

Compute the test statistic as follows:

\chi^{2}=\frac{(n-1)\times s^{2}}{\sigma^{2}}

    =\frac{(55-1)\times 94.7}{75}\\\\=68.184

The test statistic value is, 68.184.

Decision:

cal.\chi^{2}=68.184

The null hypothesis will not be rejected at 5% level of significance.

Conclusion:

The variance of speeds does not exceeds 75 (mph)². Thus, concluding that driving conditions are not dangerous on this highway.
