Answer:

-3 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

- 2 1/3 * 1 1/2

Change each mixed number to an improper fraction

-2 1/3 = -(3*2 +1)/3 = -7/3

1 1/2 = (2*1+1)/2 = 3/2

Multiply the improper fractions

-7/3 * 3/2

-7/2

Change back to a mixed number

2 goes into 7 3 times with 1 left over

-3 1/2

Changing the positive/negative happens when you multiply something by -1
-1(x-1) = -x+1
-(x-1) = (-x+1)

3 - (x - 1) = 3 + ( -x + 1) = 4 -x

In a sample of 42 water specimens taken from a construction site, 26 contained detectable levels of lead. Construct a 95% conden
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the proportion of water specimens that contain detectable levels of lead is (0.472,0.766).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

In a sample of 42 water specimens taken from a construction site, 26 contained detectable levels of lead.

This means that n = 42, \pi = \frac{26}{42} = 0.619

95% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.05, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975, so Z = 1.96.

The lower limit of this interval is:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.619 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.619*0.381}{42}} = 0.472

The upper limit of this interval is:

\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.619 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.619*0.381}{42}} = 0.766

The 95% confidence interval for the proportion of water specimens that contain detectable levels of lead is (0.472,0.766).

Lexi subtracts 9,405 from 11,138 should her answer be greater than or less than 2,000
sergey [27]
Less than because if you subtract 11, 138 minus 9,405 you get the answer you get 1,733 and that is less than 2,000

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

242 pages.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent number of pages that Claudia read last week.

We have been given that Claudia is reading a book that has 360 pages. She read some of the book last week. She plans to read 46 pages today. When she does,she will be 4/5 of the way through the book.

The number of total page left after reading 46 pages and x pages last week will be equal to 4/5 of 360.

We can represent this information in an equation as:

x+46=\frac{4}{5}\cdot 360

Let us solve for x.

x+46=4\cdot 72

x+46=288

x+46-46=288-46

x=242

Therefore, Claudia read 242 pages last week.
