First thing to do, when you have to add 2 fractions, you have to make both denominators equal. 14/6 = 0.84, so can't multiply or divide any fraction by a whole number to get the other denominator.
So, you multiply each fraction by the denominator of the other fraction. Which means that you multiply 5/14 by the denominator of 1/6 which is 6, and you multiply 1/6 by the denominator of 5/14 which is 14.
5/14 + 1/6 = 30/84 + 14/84
Then you join both fractions to make them under one denominator, since both denominators are equal.
30/84 + 14/84 = (30+14)/84 = 44/84.
Now, you need to simplify the fraction: you divide both numerator and denominator by 4:
44/84 = 11/21

So 5/14 + 1/6 = 11/21

Hope this Helps! :)

Mia found the area of a polygon The area is 32 square cm.

solniwko [45]

Answer:

Only the isosceles trapezoid has an area of 32 cm².

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's calculate the area of each polygon.

For the two triangles we have:

$A_{t} = \frac{bh}{2} = \frac{2 cm*4 cm}{2} = 4 cm^{2}$

This polygon does not have an area of 32 cm².

For the rectangle we have:

$A_{r} = bh = 6 cm*4 cm = 24 cm^{2}$

This polygon does not have an area of 32 cm².

For the rectangle trapezoid we have:

$A_{rt} = A_{t} + A_{r} = (4 + 24) cm^{2} = 28 cm^{2}$

So, this polygon does not have an area of 32 cm².

Finally, for the isosceles trapezoid:

$A_{it} = A_{t}*2 + A_{r} = (4*2 + 24) cm^{2} = 32 cm^{2}$

This polygon does have an area of 32 cm².

Therefore, only the isosceles trapezoid has an area of 32 cm².

I hope it helps you!

To estimate the mean height μ of male students on your campus, you will measure an SRS of students. You know from government dat

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

a) The standard deviation of x must be 0.25 inches.

b) We need a sample of 125 to reduce the standard deviation of x⎯⎯⎯ to the value you found in part(a).

Step-by-step explanation:

The 68-95-99.7 states that:

68% percent of the measures of a normally distributed sample are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% percent of the measures of a normally distributed sample are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

99.7% percent of the measures of a normally distributed sample are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

The standard deviation of the population is 2.8. This means that $\sigma = 2.8$ .

(a) What standard deviation must x⎯⎯⎯ have so that 95% of all samples give an x⎯⎯⎯ within one-half inch of μ?

We want to have a sample in which 2 standard deviations are within 0.5 inches of the mean.

So, the standard deviation of the sample must be:

$2s = 0.5$

$s = 0.25$

The standard deviation of x must be 0.25 inches.

(b) How large an SRS do you need to reduce the standard deviation of x⎯⎯⎯ to the value you found in part(a)?

We have that the standard deviation of a sample of length n is given by the following formula:

$s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

We want $s = 0.25$ and we have $\sigma = 2.8$ . So

$0.25 = \frac{2.8}{\sqrt{n}}$

$0.25\sqrt{n} = 2.8$

$\sqrt{n} = 11.2$

$\sqrt{n}^{2} = (11.2)^{2}$

$n = 125.44$

We need a sample of 125 to reduce the standard deviation of x⎯⎯⎯ to the value you found in part(a).

The table shows the relationshio between 2 variables. Which selection describes the relationship?

rodikova [14]

Answer: C) decreasing; linear

Its decreasing because y is decreasing as x is increasing. If you draw out a graph, the line will go downhill as you move from left to right

This is a straight line as each time the decrease is the same. In this case, each time x increases by 1, the y drops by 6. So the slope is -6/1 = -6. The negative slope means decrease. If you picked any two points from the table, you can use the slope formula m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) and you'd find that m = -6 each time.
