Answer:

⅑

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m represents number of males, and f represents number of females taking the maths course.

Given that number of males (m) taking the maths course is 8 times as much as number of females (f), total number of students taking the maths course (T).

Thus we can represent the information above with the following:

m = no. of males

f = no. of females

T = Total

m = 8f

T = m + f

Thus,

Total = 8f + f = 9f

==>The fraction of the course that are females = No. of females (f) ÷ Total no. of students (T)

= f/9f

Fraction of females in simplified form would be ⅑

When we make inferences about the difference of two independent population proportions, what assumptions do we need to make? mar
Elis [28]

When we make inferences about the difference of two independent population proportions, we assume that it is a random sample, and the number of successes and failures are at least 15 in each group.

Two independent proportions tests involve comparing the proportions of two unrelated datasets.

For these two datasets to be regarded as an independent population, the following must be true or assumed to be true

  • The datasets must represent a random sample
  • Each dataset must contain at least 15 successes and failures

Hence, the above highlights are the assumptions of two independent population proportions.

Solve 2,401 = 76 – 2x.
Oduvanchick [21]
Subtract 76 on both sides:

2401 - 76 = 76 - 2x - 76 

2325 = -2x

Divide both sides by -2:

-1162.5 = x
