Hi there!

To add fractions there are three simple steps:

1. Make sure the bottom numbers (denominators) are the same. → In your case you're all good, both your denominators are 8.

2. Add the top numbers (numerators) and put that answer over the denominator :

-3 + 7 = 4 → $\frac{4}{8}$

3. Simplify the fraction (if needed). → In your case, you do need to simplify your fraction :

Divide both your numerator and denominator by 4 to get your simplified fraction :

4 ÷ 4 = 1

8 ÷ 4 = 2

Your simplified fraction is : $\frac{1}{2}$

There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)

Answer: = 5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

add by the numbers. add it's going to be add all together.

3+7/8

3+7=10

10/8

you can also cancel by the common factor of 2.

=5/4

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a great day!

anastassius [24]

First you can see that there are 3 numbers 160,125,and 40 you can add 125 and 40 because they are both checks so then after you add you get $165 in checks do you then subtract $125 which is how much she put in and you get $40. So, she has $-40
In her bank account meaning her back scout was decreased by $40.

Step-by-step explanation:

40b=114+114/10

40b=114+11.4

40b=125.4

b=3.135

The answer is 4 because you have to round up to get the remaining people.

f is an even function. a = A 2-column table with 4 rows. Column 1 is labeled x with entries negative 2, 0, 2, 3. Column 2 is lab

Lady_Fox [76]

The values of a and b are 4 and -3

<h3>How to solve for (a) and (b)?</h3>

To solve for a, we make use of the function f(x).

x f(x)

2 4

0 5

2 a

3 7

Remove the x values 0 and 3

x f(x)

2 4

2 a

The above table implies that:

f(2) = 4 and f(2) = a

Substitute 4 for f(2) in f(2) = a

4 = a

Rewrite as:

a = 4

To solve for b, we make use of the function g(x).

x g(x)

2 b

0 0

2 -3

3 -4

Remove the x values 0 and 3

x g(x)

2 b

2 -3

The above table implies that:

f(2) = b and f(2) = -3

Substitute -3 for f(2) in f(2) = b

-3 = b

Rewrite as:

b = -3

Hence, the values of a and b are 4 and -3

You are considering developing a regression equation relating a dependent variable to two independent variables. One of the vari

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a. How many dummy variables are needed to represent the categorical variable?

We need 1 less dummy variable than outcomes for the categorical variable.

categorical variable has 2 outcomes

So, we need 2-1 = 1 dummy variable.

Answer: 1

Note: If our categorical variable had 5 outcomes, we would need 5-1 = 4 dummy variables.

b. Write the multiple regression equation relating the dependent variable to the independent variables.

Note: Depending your your professor, this can be written one of the following ways...

yhat = a + b1 x1 + bx2

yhat = b0 + b1 x1 + b2 x2

yhat = beta0hat + beta1hat x1 + betahat2 x2

where x1 is the ratio variable

and x2 is the dummy variable

c. Interpret the meaning of the coefficients in the regression equation.

b0 = the predicted value of y when x1 and x2 both equal 0.

b1 = the change in y when x1 increases by 1 unit holding x2 constant.

b2 = the predicted difference in y between the two possible outcomes of the categorical variable holding x1 constant.
