Answer: 17/20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define:

N =  numerator

D = denominator.

The fraction is N/D.

We know that:

"The numerator of fraction is 3 less than denominator. "

N = D - 3

" If 5 is subtracted from both numerator and denominator, the fraction becomes 4⁄5."

(N - 5)/(D - 5) = 4/5.

Then we have a system of equations of two variables:

N = D - 3

(N - 5)/(D - 5) = 4/5.

The first step to solve this, is to replace the first equation into the second, in that way we can work with only one variable.

(D - 3 - 5)/(D - 5) = 4/5.

Now we can solve this for D.

(D - 8)/(D - 5) = 4/5

D - 8 = (D - 5)*(4/5) = (4/5)*D - 4

D - (4/5)*D = -4 + 8 = 4

(1/5)*D = 4

D = 4*5 = 20

And here we can use the first equation to find the value of N.

N = D - 3 = 20 - 3 = 17

Then our fraction is:

N/D = 17/20

26. Students who take a statistics course are given a pre-test on the concepts and skills for the first chapter of a statistics
hjlf

The test statistic value lies to the right of the critical value. So we have sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

<h3>What are null hypotheses and alternative hypotheses?</h3>

In null hypotheses, there is no relationship between the two phenomenons under the assumption or it is not associated with the group. And in alternative hypotheses, there is a relationship between the two chosen unknowns.

Students who take a statistics course are given a pre-test on the concepts and skills for the first chapter of a statistics course.

Then they are given a post-test once the professor has concluded lecturing on the material.

Pre-test and post-test scores for 4 students in an elementary statistics class are given below.

Then we have

\mu _d = \mu _{post} - \mu _{pre}

Then the null hypotheses and alternative hypotheses will be

H₀: \mu _d = 0

Hₐ: \mu _d > 0

Then the test statistic will be

\rm \overline{x} _d = \dfrac{\Sigma x_d}{n} = \dfrac{15+12+10+1}{4}\\\\\overline{x} _d = 9.5

Then

\rm S_d = 6.02

The test statistic value is given by

\rm t = \dfrac{\overline{x} _d }{\dfrac{S_d}{\sqrtn}} \\\\t = \dfrac{9.5}{\dfrac{6.02}{\sqrt4}}\\\\t = 3.16

Since this is a right-tailed test, so the critical value is given by

\rm t_{n-1}(\alpha ) = t_3 (0.05) = 2.353

Since the test statistic value lies to the right of the critical value. So we have sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

Hence, we can conclude that \mu _d > 0 that is test scores have improved.

More about the null hypotheses and alternative hypotheses link is given below.

soldier1979 [14.2K]
A= 3
b= 4

=3.14(a^2 + ab)
substitute the given a & b values in expression

=3.14((3)^2 + (3*4))
multiply inside parentheses

=3.14(9 + 12)
add inside parentheses

=3.14(21)
multiply

=65.94

Multiply the following numbers. Reduce the answer to the lowest terms. 3 1/8 times 1/7 please hurry!
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

25/56

Step-by-step explanation:

make 3 1/8 an improper fraction then u should get 25/8 and then multiply the numerator of 1/7 by 25 and then multiply the denominators of the two fractions to get 7*8=56 so your fraction is 25/56

Find a8 when a1= 9, d = 4 of the arithmetic sequence whose first term is a1 and common difference is d.
Gelneren [198K]

<u>G</u><u>e</u><u>n</u><u>e</u><u>r</u><u>a</u><u>l</u><u> </u><u>A</u><u>r</u><u>i</u><u>t</u><u>h</u><u>m</u><u>e</u><u>t</u><u>i</u><u>c</u><u> </u><u>T</u><u>e</u><u>r</u><u>m</u><u>s</u>

\displaystyle \large{a_n = a_1 + (n - 1)d}

We want to find a8; we know:

  • a1 = 9
  • d = 4

Substitute in the formula.

\displaystyle \large{a_n = 9 + (n - 1)4} \\   \displaystyle \large{a_n = 9 + 4n - 4} \\   \displaystyle \large{a_n = 4n + 5}

To find a8, substitute n = 8

\displaystyle \large{a_8= 4(8) + 5} \\   \displaystyle \large{a_8= 32 + 5} \\   \displaystyle \large{a_8= 37}

Hence, the 8th term of sequence is 37
