Answer:

$QR = 23$

Step-by-step explanation:

P, A, and R are collinear.

PR = 54

$PQ = 4x - 1$

$QR = 3x - 1$

To solve for the numerical length of PR, let's generate an equation to find the value of x.

According to the segment addition postulate:

$PQ + QR = PR$

$(4x - 1) + (3x - 1) = 54$ (substitution)

Solve for x

$4x - 1 + 3x - 1 = 54$

Combine like terms

$4x + 3x - 1 - 1 = 54$

$7x - 2 = 54$

Add 2 to both sides

$7x - 2 + 2 = 54 + 2$

$7x = 56$

Divide both sides by 7

$\frac{7x}{7} = \frac{56}{7}$

$x = 8$

$QR = 3x - 1$

Plug in the value of x into the equation

$QR = 3(8) - 1 = 24 - 1$

$QR = 23$

According to the February 2008 Federal Trade Commission report on consumer fraud and identity theft, 23% of all complaints in 20

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

There is not enough evidence to support the claim that Alaska had a lower proportion of identity theft than 23%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample size, n = 1432

p = 23% = 0.23

Alpha, α = 0.05

Number of theft complaints , x = 321

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

$H_{0}: p = 0.23\\H_A: p < 0.23$

This is a one-tailed test.

Formula:

$\hat{p} = \dfrac{x}{n} = \dfrac{321}{1432} =0.2241$

$z = \dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}$

Putting the values, we get,

$z = \displaystyle\frac{0.2241-0.23}{\sqrt{\frac{0.23(1-0.23)}{1432}}} = -0.5305$

Now, we calculate the p-value from the table.

P-value = 0.298

Since the p-value is greater than the significance level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and accept the null hypothesis.

Conclusion:

Thus, there is not enough evidence to support the claim that Alaska had a lower proportion of identity theft than 23%.

Can someone please explain step by step on how I subtract fractions like for an a example!

kotykmax [81]

Keep the denominators the same and subtract the numerators. So for example in your example:

7/8 - 3/8

Leave the 8 alone. Subtract 3 from 7.

7 - 3 = 4

So answer is:

4/8

Sometimes they may have to simplify the answer, and in this case, 4/8 could be simplified to 1/2
