Answer:

95% of monthly food expenditures are between $110 and $190.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The monthly amounts spent for food by families of four receiving food stamps approximates a symmetrical, normal distribution. The sample mean is $150 and the standard deviation is $20.

To find : Using the Empirical rule, about 95% of the monthly food expenditures are between which of the following two amounts?

Solution :

At 95% of the data is between two standard deviation to left and right of the mean is given by,

To the left side, \bar{x}-2\sigma

To the right side, \bar{x}+2\sigma

We have given,

The sample mean \bar{x}=\$150

The standard deviation \sigma=\$20

Substitute in the formula,

\bar{x}-2\sigma

=150-2(20)

=150-40

=110

\bar{x}+2\sigma

=150+2(20)

=150+40

=190

Therefore, 95% of monthly food expenditures are between $110 and $190.

How to add fractions? with unlike denominators
stellarik [79]

Answer:

The recipe calls for 19/12 or 1 7/9 cups.


Step-by-step:

In order to get this answer, we have to add all three fractions together. First, we have to find the LCM (Least Common Multiple) between the three denominators:

2: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12

3: 3,6,9,12

4: 4,8,12

The LCM between these three denominators is 12.

4x3=12

2x6=12

3x4=12

You now multiply the numerator by the same number you multiplied by for the denominator in order to get 12:

3/4 becomes 9/12

1/2 becomes 6/12

1/3 becomes 4/12

We now add all the fractions together:

9/12+6/12+4/12= 19/12

We got 19/12 but the answer is an improper fraction so we turn it into a mixed number:

12x1=12 (7 remaining)

This is written as 1 7/12.

Hope this helps! :)
