Amir started a business with john and jack. Amir invested 2/6 of the amount to start a business. John 2/5 of the investment. The

amount put in by john was 6000.
What is the fraction by jack?
What was the total amount invested by all three?

First, we need to add 2/6 and 2/5.

2/6 can be simplified to 1/3

We need to have 1/3 and 2/5 have the same denominator. 3 and 5's LCM (least common multiply) is 15.

Multiply both the numerator and denominator of 1/3 by 5. This equals 5/15.

Multiply both the numerator and denominator of 2/5 by 3. This equals 6/15.

5/15 plus 6/15 is 11/15. This means that Jack's 6000 dollars is 4/15.

Let's say that x is the total amount invested by all three.

6000/x would equal 4/15.

Solve this by multiply 6000 by 15 and 4 by x and making these two equal each other.

90000 would equal 4x. Divide both sides by 4 to get x.

90000 divided by 4 would be 22500.

4/15 is the fraction by Jack

22500 is the total amount invested by all 3

$\text {Hi! Let's Solve this Problem!}$

$\text {Before you find the Mean, Medina and Mode you must put the numbers in order.}$

$\text {Before: 83, 97, 85, 84, 96, 80, 80, 87, 91}\\\text {After: 80, 80, 83, 84, 85, 87, 91, 96, 97}$

$\underline {\text {Mean}}$

$\text {To Find the Mean you must Add all the Numbers then Divide.}$

$\text {Add:}$ $\text 80+80+83+84+85+87+91+96+97=\fbox {783}}$

$\text {Divide:}$ $\text {783/9=}$

$\text {The Mean Is:}$

$\fbox {87}$

$\underline {\text Median}}$

$\text {To find the Median you find the number that's in the middle of the set.}$

$\text {Put your Left Pointer Finger on 83. Put your Right Pointer Finger on 91.}$

$\text {Move your Left Finger to the Right. Move your Right Finger to the Left.}$

$\text {Once your Left Finger makes it to 84 and your Right Finger makes it to 87}$ $\text {it shows that 85 is left in the middle.}$

$\text {The Median Is:}$

$\fbox {85}$

$\underline {\text {Mode}}$

$\text {Finding the Mode means finding the number}$ $\text { that shows the most in the number set given.}$

$\text {Since 80 is the number that is showing more than any other number}$ $\text {this tells us that 80 is our Mode.}$

$\text {The Mode Is:}$

$\fbox {80}$

$\text {Best of Luck!}$

A researcher selects all of the possible samples with n = 8 scores from a population and computes the mean, dividing by n, for e

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

By the Central Limit Theorem, the average value for all of the sample means is 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the central limit theorem to solve this question.

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sample means of size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation, which is also called standard error $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

If the population mean is μ = 14, then what is the average value for all of the sample means?

By the Central Limit Theorem, the average value for all of the sample means is 14.

Two parallel lines were cut by a transversal. Which of the following

meriva

Answer:

B. a pair of alternate exterior angles with measures of 130° and 50°

Step-by-step explanation:

Alternate exterior angles formed when two parallel lines are cut across by the same transversal line, are said to be congruent.

Therefore, a pair of alternate exterior angles cannot have different angle measures of 130° and 50°. Rather, both alternate exterior angles should be of equal measure of degree.

All other scenarios are possible result except option B: "a pair of alternate exterior angles with measures of 130° and 50°".

The mean hours of sleep that students get per night is 7 hours, the standard deviation of hours of sleep is 1.7 hours, and the d

densk [106]

Answer:

c. 3.6 and 10.4 hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean 7, standard deviation 1.7.

For about 95% of students, nightly amount of sleep is between

7 - 2*1.7 = 7 - 3.4 = 3.6 hours

7 + 2*1.7 = 7 + 3.4 = 10.4 hours

So the correct answer is:

c. 3.6 and 10.4 hrs
