If you're multiplying a whole number by a fraction, then multiply the whole number by the numerator, then divide that number by the denominator.

So in the case of 15 x (5/6), multiply the 15 by 5 (75) and then divide by 6 to get 75/6 (as an unsimplified answer).

In the case of 3 x (3/6), you again multiply the whole number by the numerator (3x3=9) and divide by the denominator (9/6) to get 9/6 or 3/2 when simplified.

A gardener is planting two types of trees:

denpristay [2]

It takes 12 years for both trees to be of same height

Solution:

Assume the year that it would take to these trees have the same height is : x (years)

Type A is 7 feet tall and grows at a rate of 23 inches per year:

Convert 7 feet to inches

We know that,

1 foot = 12 inch

7 feet = 12 x 7 inch = 84 inch

Thus, type A is 84 inches tall and grows at a rate of 23 inches per year

We can frame a equation as:

Type A = 84 + 23(number of years)

Type A = 84 + 23x ---------- eqn 1

Type B is 5 feet tall and grows at a rate of 25 inches per year

Convert 5 feet to inches

5 feet = 5 x 12 inches = 60 inches

Thus, type B is 60 inches tall and grows at a rate of 25 inches per year

We can frame a equation as:

Type B = 60 + 25(number of years)

Type B = 60 + 25x --------- eqn 2

For both the trees to be of same height, eqn 1 must be equal to eqn 2

84 + 23x = 60 + 25x

25x - 23x = 84 - 60

2x = 24

x = 12

Thus it takes 12 years for both trees to be of same height

Which of the following is a benefit of increasing the sample size when trying to estimate the mean from a sample average?

andrezito [222]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The larger the sample size, the lower the standard deviation. The standard deviation shows how the data is spread from the mean. Therefore, benefit of increasing the sample size when trying to estimate the mean from a sample average are

a. A reduction in the bias of the estimate.

b. A reduction in the variability of the estimate.

The width of confidence interval is determined by the margin of error

Margin of error = z × s/√n

A smaller standard deviation and increased size would result to a narrower confidence interval. Therefore, increasing the sample size does not result to an increase in the width of the resulting confidence interval.
