28 cell phone cases in all. 
6 of the 28 cases are fabric. 

6/28 simplified to 3/14 

So the answer to your question would be 3/14

Hope this helps! :)

Let me help assist you.
This question is asking for, in simplified form, the fraction that the customer will select the fabric case. We will start by making the fraction.
First, let's add the total number of cases.
10 + 12 + 6 = 28.
There is 28 cases in all. Let's subtract the number of fabric cases.
28 - 6 = 22.
With this information, we can make the fraction, which is 6/28.
The question asks for simplest form, however. Now that we have the fraction, we can proceed to this step.
We have to find the GCD of the numerator and denominator, which is 2.
Now, we have to divide both 6 and 28 by the GCD (2).
6 ÷ 2 = 3
28 ÷ 2 = 14
The simplest form of 6/28 is 3/14.

Hope this answers your question correctly.

Weight of a rock: In a geology course, students are learning to use a balance scale to accurately weigh rocks. One student plans
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

We are 95% confident that the true weight of the rock is between 25.2 g and 29.1 g.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

A geology student weighted a rock 5 times and estimated the average weight using a 95% CI [25.2; 29.1]gr

The confidence interval is used to estimate the value of the population mean, it gives you a range of values for it.

The 95% level of confidence of the interval indicates that if you were to construct 100 confidence intervals to estimate the population mean, you'd expect 95 of them to include the true value of the parameter.

So with a 95% confidence level, you'd expect the true average weight of the rock to be included in the interval  [25.2; 29.1]gr

I hope this helps!

Find the value of x in the isosceles triangle shown below.
dybincka [34]

Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

This isosceles triangle is composed of two right triangles with sides 8,\sqrt{80} , and y

As we have two sides of a right triangle, we can find the third using the Pythagorean Theorem

(\sqrt{80} )^2=8^2+y^2\\\\80=64+y^2\\\\y^2=16\\\\y=4

As this is an isosceles triangle, these two right triangles are equal, this means that x=2y

Therefore, x=2(4)=8

Simplify. Remove all perfect squares from inside the square root. V75 =​
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

5√5

Step-by-step explanation:

You can rewrite √75 as √(25 * 5) and since 25 is a perfect square, you can find the square root and take that outside of the square root. √25 = 5, so √75 is equal to 5√5, and that cannot be simplified furthermore.
