Answer:

13/20 of her money was spent.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer you have to add these two fractions together, and to do that you must find a common denominator.

For this problem I chose to use 20 for the denominator since it is the smallest number that both 4 and 5 have in common.

Keep in mind that, whatever you do to the denominator, you must also do to the numerator, so if you multiply 5 by 4, you must also multiply 2 by 4.

5/20 + 8/20 = 13/20

Which of the following is a complex number? (Look at picture)

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In mathematics, a complex number is a number that can be expressed in the form a + bi, where a and b are real numbers, and i is a symbol, called the imaginary unit, that satisfies the equation i² = −1. Because no real number satisfies this equation, i was called an imaginary number by René Descartes.

A survey collected data on annual credit card charges in seven different categories of expenditures: transportation, groceries,

Andru [333]

Answer:

A. Null and alternative hypothesis:

$H_0: \mu_d=0\\\\H_a:\mu_d\neq 0$

B. Yes. At a significance level of 0.05, there is enough evidence to support the claim that there is signficant difference between the population mean credit card charges for groceries and the population mean credit card charges for dining out.

P-value = 0.00002

C. As the difference is calculated as (population 1 − population 2), being population 1: groceries and population 2: dinning out, and knowing there is evidence that the true mean difference is positive, we can say that the groceries annual credit card charge is higher than dinning out annual credit card charge.

The point estimate is the sample mean difference d=$840.

The 95% confidence interval for the mean difference between the population means is (490, 1190).

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a hypothesis test for the population mean.

The claim is that there is signficant difference between the population mean credit card charges for groceries and the population mean credit card charges for dining out.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

$H_0: \mu_d=0\\\\H_a:\mu_d\neq 0$

The significance level is 0.05.

The sample has a size n=42.

The sample mean is M=840.

As the standard deviation of the population is not known, we estimate it with the sample standard deviation, that has a value of s=1123.

The estimated standard error of the mean is computed using the formula:

$s_M=\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{1123}{\sqrt{42}}=173.2827$

Then, we can calculate the t-statistic as:

$t=\dfrac{M-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{840-0}{173.2827}=\dfrac{840}{173.2827}=4.848$

The degrees of freedom for this sample size are:

$df=n-1=42-1=41$

This test is a two-tailed test, with 41 degrees of freedom and t=4.848, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a t-table):

$\text{P-value}=2\cdot P(t>4.848)=0.00002$

As the P-value (0.00002) is smaller than the significance level (0.05), the effect is significant.

The null hypothesis is rejected.

At a significance level of 0.05, there is enough evidence to support the claim that there is signficant difference between the population mean credit card charges for groceries and the population mean credit card charges for dining out.

We have to calculate a 95% confidence interval for the mean difference.

The t-value for a 95% confidence interval and 41 degrees of freedom is t=2.02.

The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:

$MOE=t\cdot s_M=2.02 \cdot 173.283=350$

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

$LL=M-t \cdot s_M = 840-350=490\\\\UL=M+t \cdot s_M = 840+350=1190$

The 95% confidence interval for the mean difference is (490, 1190).
