2/8 is less than 1/2.

This is because if we simplify the fraction 2/8, we get 1/4, and we know that 1/4 < 1/2.

Answer:

The answer is 10.5 or 10 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

1) A=LxW

2) the height is given but you do not have the width So Divide.

3) first turn the fraction into decimals

H= 12 1/4= 12.25

A= 128 5/8= 128.625

4) 128.625 divided by 12.25 Give you 10.5

5) you can change 10.5 into a fraction 10 1/2

Where are white blue and red boat in the Marina three fourths of the boats in the Marina are white for seventh of the remaining

xeze [42]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete question used in answering this question :

Three-fourths of the boats in the marina are white. 4/7 of the remaining boats are blue , and the rest are red . If there are 9red boats, how many boats are in the marina?

We first have to determine the fraction of the boats that are red

1 - ( $\frac{3}{4}$ + $\frac{4}{7}$ )

1 - $\frac{21 + 16}{28}$

1 - $\frac{37}{28}$

1 - 1 $\frac{9}{28}$

= 9/28

so, 9/28 of the boats are red

let b represent the total number of boats

9/28 x b = 9

to find b, divide both sides of the equation by 28/9

b = 28

There are 2,000 eligible voters in a precinct. A total of 500 voters are randomly selected and asked whether they plan to vote f

Ann [662]

Answer:

$0.7 - 2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.7(1-0.7)}{500}}=0.647$

$0.7 + 2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.7(1-0.7)}{500}}=0.753$

And the 99% confidence interval would be given (0.647;0.753).

So the correct answer would be:

a. 0.647 and 0.753

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The population proportion have the following distribution

$p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})$

Solution to the problem

The estimated population proportion for this case is:

$\hat p = \frac{350}{500}=0.7$

The confidence interval would be given by this formula

$\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}$

For the 99% confidence interval the value of $\alpha=1-0.99=0.01$ and $\alpha/2=0.005$ , with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.

$z_{\alpha/2}=2.58$

And replacing into the confidence interval formula we got:

$0.7 - 2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.7(1-0.7)}{500}}=0.647$

$0.7 + 2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.7(1-0.7)}{500}}=0.753$

And the 99% confidence interval would be given (0.647;0.753).

So the correct answer would be:

a. 0.647 and 0.753

Which is a y-intercept of the graphed function? (–9, 0) (–3, 0) (0, –9) (0, –3)

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

The y-intercept of the graphed function is (0,-9)

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept of the graphed function is (0,-9) because the y-intercept is where the point where the line meets with the y-axis, and the point where the line meets with the y axis is (0,-9)

Therefore the answer is

(0,-9)

I hope this helped you.
