Question:

The numerator and denominator of a fraction are in the ratio of 3 to 5. If the numerator and denominator are both decreased by 2, the fraction is now equal to  \frac{1}{2}.

If n = the numerator and d = the denominator, which of the following systems of equations could be used to solve the problem?

5n = 3d and n - 2 = 2d - 4

5n = 3d and 2n - 4 = d - 2

3n = 5d and 2n - 4 = d - 2

Answer:

5n = 3d and 2n – 4 = d – 2

Solution:

Let n be the numerator of the fraction and d be the denominator of the fraction.

Given the numerator and denominator of a fraction are in the ratio of 3 to 5.

This can be written as n : d = 3 : 5.

⇒ \frac{n}{d}= \frac{3}{5} – – – – (1)

Do cross multiplication, we get

⇒ 5n = 3d

When the numerator and denominator are decreased by 2, the fraction is equal to \frac{1}{2}.

⇒ \frac{n-2}{d-2}= \frac{1}{2}

Do cross multiplication, we get

⇒ 2(n –2)=1(d – 2)

⇒ 2n – 4 = d – 2

Hence, 5n = 3d and 2n – 4 = d – 2 can be used to solve the problem.

An aircraft on a reconnaissance mission takes off from its home base and flies 550 miles at a bearing of S 46° E to a location i
Alexandra [31]
<h3>Answer: D) 1692 miles</h3>

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

Explanation:

A diagram is very handy for this type of problem. Refer to the diagram below (attached image). Here are the steps used to form the diagram

  1. Plot point A and make that the home base. Plot point D directly south of point A. I'm skipping B and C because those will be used to form the triangle later.
  2. Imagine you are standing at point A and looking south at point D. Turn 46 degrees toward the east direction (this is what the notation "bearing of S 46° E" means). Then move 550 miles from A to land on point B. This is the location where the plane makes its first turn.
  3. Plot the points E and F, which are north and south of point B.
  4. Imagine we are at point B and looking directly south at point F. Turn 55 degrees toward the west, which is due to the "S 55° W" and then move 483 miles to arrive at point C. This is the plane's location where it turns around to go back to home base.

The diagram below shows all of this visually summarized. We have the segments

  • AB = 550 miles
  • BC = 483 miles
  • AC = x miles

And we have these angles

  • Angle DAB = 46 degrees and Angle ABE = 46 degrees (blue)
  • Angle ABC = 79 degrees (red)
  • Angle ACB = 55 degrees and Angle FBC = 55 degrees (green)

Angle ABC comes from the fact that the blue and green angles add with the red angle to get 180. So we basically need to solve 46+y+55 = 180 which leads to y = 79.

------------------------------

Once the diagram is set up, we'll use the law of cosines to find x.

Focus on triangle ABC. Ignore points D,E,F. Ignore any extra lines as well.

The interior angles of triangle ABC are

  • A = 46 degrees
  • B = 79 degrees
  • C = 55 degrees

The sides opposite the angles are

  • a = 483 (opposite angle A)
  • b = x (opposite angle B)
  • c = 550 (opposite angle C)

Now we can apply the law of cosines

b^2 = a^2 + c^2 - 2*a*c*cos(B)

x^2 = 483^2 + 550^2 - 2*483*550*cos(79)

x^2 = 434412.180756441

x = sqrt(434412.180756441)

x = 659.099522649229

x = 659

Side AC, or CA, is roughly 659 miles long.

------------

To find the total distance the plane travels, we add up the three sides of the triangle (ie we find the perimeter)

Distance Traveled = AB + BC + CA

Distance Traveled = 550 + 483 + 659

Distance Traveled = 1692 miles

After once again losing a football game to the college'ss arch rival, the alumni association conducted a survey to see if alumni
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

a) The 90% confidence interval would be given (0.561;0.719).

b) p_v =P(z>2.8)=1-P(z

c) Using the significance level assumed \alpha=0.01 we see that p_v so we have enough evidence at this significance level to reject the null hypothesis. And on this case makes sense the claim that the proportion is higher than 0.5 or 50%.    

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation  

n=100 represent the random sample taken    

X=64 represent were in favor of firing the coach

\hat p=\frac{64}{100}=0.64 estimated proportion for were in favor of firing the coach

p_o=0.5 is the value that we want to test since the problem says majority    

\alpha represent the significance level (no given, but is assumed)    

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)    

p_v represent the p value (variable of interest)    

p= population proportion of Americans for were in favor of firing the coach

Part a

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 90% confidence interval the value of \alpha=1-0.9=0.1 and \alpha/2=0.05, with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.

z_{\alpha/2}=1.64

And replacing into the confidence interval formula we got:

0.64 - 1.64 \sqrt{\frac{0.64(1-0.64)}{100}}=0.561

0.64 + 1.64 \sqrt{\frac{0.64(1-0.64)}{100}}=0.719

And the 90% confidence interval would be given (0.561;0.719).

Part b

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the proportion exceeds 50%(Majority). :    

Null Hypothesis: p \leq 0.5  

Alternative Hypothesis: p >0.5  

We assume that the proportion follows a normal distribution.    

This is a one tail upper test for the proportion of  union membership.  

The One-Sample Proportion Test is "used to assess whether a population proportion \hat p is significantly (different,higher or less) from a hypothesized value p_o".  

Check for the assumptions that he sample must satisfy in order to apply the test  

a)The random sample needs to be representative: On this case the problem no mention about it but we can assume it.  

b) The sample needs to be large enough  

np_o =100*0.64=64>10  

n(1-p_o)=100*(1-0.64)=36>10  

Calculate the statistic    

The statistic is calculated with the following formula:  

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o(1-p_o)}{n}}}  

On this case the value of p_o=0.5 is the value that we are testing and n = 100.  

z=\frac{0.64 -0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{100}}}=2.8

The p value for the test would be:  

p_v =P(z>2.8)=1-P(z

Part c

Using the significance level assumed \alpha=0.01 we see that p_v so we have enough evidence at this significance level to reject the null hypothesis. And on this case makes sense the claim that the proportion is higher than 0.5 or 50%.
