Okay, so it might be a little difficult to explain it but here we go:
You find the LCD (lowest common denominator) and multiply the top and bottom half of the fraction by the LCD:
(1/x) times xy (since it is divisible by both x and y)
then you do the same for the bottom (2/y) times xy
The x's on the top cancel out leaving you with 1/y
The y's on the bottom cancel out leaving you with 2/x
So now you multiple the top half (numerator) by the reciprocal of the denominator. In other words, multiply (1/y) by (x/2).
The answer is x/2y

The heights in inches of orangutans Are normally distributed with a population standard deviation of 3" and an unknown populatio
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer: The 95% confidence interval is approximately (55.57, 58.43)

======================================================

Explanation:

At 95% confidence, the z critical value is about z = 1.960 which you find using a table or a calculator.

The sample size is n = 17

The sample mean is xbar = 57

The population standard deviation is sigma = 3

The lower bound of the confidence interval is

L = xbar - z*sigma/sqrt(n)

L = 57 - 1.960*3/sqrt(17)

L = 55.5738905247863

L = 55.57

The upper bound is

U = xbar + z*sigma/sqrt(n)

U = 57 + 1.960*3/sqrt(17)

U = 58.4261094752137

U = 58.43

Therefore the confidence interval (L, U) turns into (55.57, 58.43) which is approximate.
