The least common denominator is 5y, and can be obtained by multiplying
-1/y by 5/5 to get -5/5y.

If we add the numbers using the least common denominator, we get:
-5/5y + 2/5y = -3/5y

The four hand of a clock moves from 12 to 5 o'clock through how many degrees does it move?

julsineya [31]

To find the answer you have to first find how many degrees are there in between each number in the clock. the clock is 360°degrees and there are 12 numbers marked in a clock., so you have to divide 360 by 12 to get the number of degrees in between each number,
360°÷12=30° so there are 30°degrees between each number.

if a clock hand moves from 12 to 5, it pass 5 numbers, so to get your final answer you have to multiply 30° by 5=150°.

so your answer is 150°degrees.
hope you can understand what i said. :)

ILL MARK YOU BRAINLEST IF YOU AWNSER PLEASE!! look at the photo and what is the measure of BMC?help me please!!

Lesechka [4]

2x + (x+9) = 90
3x + 9= 90
3x= 81
x= 27
Now plug in 27 to (x+9)
27+9= 36
Final Answer = 36

Suppose we have a population whose proportion of items with the desired attribute is p = 0:5. (a) If a sample of size 200 is tak

crimeas [40]

Answer:

a. If a sample of size 200 is taken, the probability that the proportion of successes in the sample will be between 0.47 and 0.51 is 41.26%.

b. If a sample of size 100 is taken, the probability that the proportion of successes in the sample will be between 0.47 and 0.51 is 30.5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem should be solved with a binomial distribution sample, but as the size of the sample is large, it can be approximated to a normal distribution.

The parameters for the normal distribution will be

$\mu=p=0.5\\\\\sigma=\sqrt{p(1-p)/n} =\sqrt{0.5*0.5/200}= 0.0353$

We can calculate the z values for x1=0.47 and x2=0.51:

$z_1=\frac{x_1-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{0.47-0.5}{0.0353}=-0.85\\\\z_2=\frac{x_2-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{0.51-0.5}{0.0353}=0.28$

We can now calculate the probabilities:

$P(0.47$

If a sample of size 200 is taken, the probability that the proportion of successes in the sample will be between 0.47 and 0.51 is 41.26%.

b) If the sample size change, the standard deviation of the normal distribution changes:

$\mu=p=0.5\\\\\sigma=\sqrt{p(1-p)/n} =\sqrt{0.5*0.5/100}= 0.05$

We can calculate the z values for x1=0.47 and x2=0.51:

$z_1=\frac{x_1-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{0.47-0.5}{0.05}=-0.6\\\\z_2=\frac{x_2-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{0.51-0.5}{0.05}=0.2$

We can now calculate the probabilities:

$P(0.47$

If a sample of size 100 is taken, the probability that the proportion of successes in the sample will be between 0.47 and 0.51 is 30.5%.

Which is the slope of the line that passes through the points (3,17)(3,17) and (7,25)(7,25)?

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

The slope is 2, because you subtract the points 3,17 from 7,25 to get 8/4/ Simplify that into 2.

If a4 = 625, what does (a) equal?

Reika [66]

I'm assuming you meant to write a^4 = 625.

If that is the case, then note how 625 = 25^2, and how a^4 is the same as (a^2)^2

So we go from this

a^4 = 625

to this

(a^2)^2 = 25^2

Apply the square root to both sides and you'll end up with: a^2 = 25

From here, apply the square root again to end up with the final answer: a = 5 or a = -5

As a check:

a^4 = (-5)^4 = (-5)*(-5)*(-5)*(-5) = 25*25 = 625

a^4 = (5)^4 = (5)*(5)*(5)*(5) = 25*25 = 625

Both values of 'a' work out
