0.3x -0.3 = 0.75
B)
0.03x -0.3 = 0.75
3x -0.03 = 0.75

What can you conclude about 3/5 and 60/100 if you know 3/5 is equivalent to 6/10 and 6/10 is equivalent to 60/100

labwork [276]

First we check whether $\frac{3}{5}$ is equivalent to $\frac{6}{10}$

$\frac{3*2}{5*2}$ = $\frac{6}{10}$

Both top and bottom are multiplied by 2 to get $\frac{6}{10}$

So they are equivalent fractions.

Now we check whether $\frac{6}{10}$ is equivalent to $\frac{60}{100}$

$\frac{6*10}{10*10}$ = $\frac{60}{100}$

Both top and bottom are multiplied by 10 to get $\frac{60}{100}$

So they are equivalent fractions.

$\frac{3}{5}$ = $\frac{6}{10}$ = $\frac{60}{100}$

Hence we conclude that they are equivalent fractions.

You are trying to estimate the average amount a family spends on food during a year. In the past the standard deviation of the a

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

$n=(\frac{2.58(1000)}{50})^2 =2662.56 \approx 2663$

So the answer for this case would be n=2663 rounded up to the nearest integer

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following info:

$ME = 50$ margin of error desired

$\sigma = 1000$ the standard deviation for this case

The margin of error is given by this formula:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ (a)

And on this case we have that ME =50 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

$n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2} \sigma}{ME})^2$ (b)

The critical value for 99% of confidence interval now can be founded using the normal distribution. The significance is $\alpha=0.01$ . And for this case would be $z_{\alpha/2}=2.58$ , replacing into formula (b) we got:

$n=(\frac{2.58(1000)}{50})^2 =2662.56 \approx 2663$

So the answer for this case would be n=2663 rounded up to the nearest integer

1.<br><br> If sin(-A) = tan 335,3 : A € (-180; 180) then the size of Ais?

Advocard [28]

Answer:

$A=-6.746$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

sin(-A)=tan353.3

A∈(-180, 180)

Required:

Size of A=?

solution:

using calculator we get,

$tan(353.3)=-0.117$

so $sin(-A)=-0.117$

now $A= Sin^{-1}(-0.117)$

$A=-6.746$
