It is usual to represent ratios in their simplest form so that we are not operating with large numbers. Reducing ratios to their simplest form is directly linked to equivalent fractions.
For example: On a farm there are 4 Bulls and 200 Cows. Write this as a ratio in its simplest form.
Bulls <span>: </span>Cows
4 <span>: </span>200
If we halve the number of bulls then we must halve the number of cows so that the relationship between the bulls and cows stays constant. This gives us:
Bulls <span>: </span>Cows
2 <span>: </span>100
Halving again gives us
1 <span>: </span>50
So the ratio of Bulls to Cows equals 1 : 50. The ratio is now represented in its simplest form.
An example where we have 3 quantities.
On the farm there are 24 ducks, 36 geese and 48 hens.
Ratio of ducks <span>: </span>geese <span>: </span>hens
24 <span>: </span>36 <span>: </span>48
Dividing each quantity by 12 gives us
2 <span>: </span>3 : 4
So the ratio of ducks to geese to hens equals 2 : 3 : 4 which is the simplest form since we can find no further common factor.
Just take each number in the first table and divide it by the total then x by 100
Eg the first one 24/120 x 100 = 20%
Answer:
21 in^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Area = Width * Length
Area = 3 * 7
Area = 21
Answer:
We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to determine if the mean is greater than specified value, the system of hypothesis would be:
Null hypothesis:
Alternative hypothesis:
For this case the significance is 1%. So we need to find a critical value in the normal standard distribution who accumulates 0.99 of the area in the left and 0.01 in the right and for this case this critical value is:
Step-by-step explanation:
Notation
represent the sample mean
represent the standard deviation for the population
sample size
represent the value that we want to test
represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.
z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)
State the null and alternative hypotheses.

Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
y=mx+b
m(slope)=rise/run=1
b(y intercept)=2
y=x+2
