Total number of people is 55

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Step 1:

Given ratio between boys and girls is 4:1. Let number of girls be x, so number of boys = 33 + x

⇒ 4x + x = x + 33 + x

⇒ 5x = 33 + 2x

⇒ 3x = 33

⇒ x = 11

Step 2:

Find total number of people.

33 + 2x = 33 + 22 = 55

Answer:

There are 55 people altogether

Step-by-step explanation:

As the question says, there are 33 more boys than girls. So let's make girls = x as it is an unknown value:

boys = 33 + x

As we know that the ratio is 4:1 so, we can make it as:

4x : x

Given that the the ratio of boys is 4x and the value is 33+x. Now, we can compare it :

4x = 33 + x

4x - x = 33

3x = 33

x = 11

Next, we can add up all the people:

boys=>

4x = 4 × 11

= 44 boys

girls=>

x = 11 girls

altogether=>

44 + 11 = 55 people

(Correct me if I am wrong)

What is the answer to 10 - 5 2/3 I suck at fractions

Free_Kalibri [48]

4 1/3

Okay, I know fractions are scary, but we can do this alright?

First, you see the whole number on the side? Get that first.

10- 5 = 5

now we have 5 left and a scary fraction. Don't panic, let's do this. We know 1 is 3/3. 1 can be anything as long as the number on top and the number at the bottom are the same then it would be one.

So 3/3 is one then we can subtract:

3/3 -2/3 .

We subtract the top number and leave the one at the bottom the same.

3-2 = 1

Then we have 1/3.

As you took one away from the 5, it becomes a 4 and you put back the left over, 1/3.

Then you answer will be :

4 1/3

The sample consisted of 50 night students, with a sample mean GPA of 3.02 and a standard deviation of 0.08, and 25 day students,

Answer: The test statistic is t= -0.90.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

n₁ = 50

n₂ = 25

$\bar{x_1}=3.02\\\\\bar{x_2}=3.04\\\\\sigma_1=0.08\\\\\sigma_2=0.06$

So, s would be

$s=\sqrt{\dfrac{n_1\sigma_1^2+n_2\sigma_2^2}{n_1+n_2-2}}\\\\s=\sqrt{\dfrac{50\times 0.08^2+25\times 0.06^2}{50+25-2}}\\\\s=0.075$

So, the value of test statistic would be

$t=\dfrac{\bar{x_1}-\bar{x_2}}{s(\dfrac{1}{n_1}+\dfrac{1}{n_2})}\\t=\dfrac{3.02-3.04}{0.074(\dfrac{1}{50}+\dfrac{1}{25})}\\\\t=\dfrac{-0.04}{0.074(0.02+0.04)}\\\\t=\dfrac{-0.04}{0.044}\\\\t=-0.90$
