Write 0.0166 correct to two significant figures.

If the product of two positive fractions a and b is 15/56, find three pairs of possible values for a and b

Andrews [41]

Answer:

First possible pairs = (3/7)*(5/8) = 15/56

second possible pairs = (3/4)*(5/14) = 15/56

third possible pairs = (1/2)*(15/28) = 15/56

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question,

a x b = 15/56

three possible pairs will be as follows:

Before proceeding to make possible pairs, we have to know the prime factorization of the numbers -

15 = 1, 3, 5, 15

56 = 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28, 56

As we need three possible pairs, we have to check which pairs take us to 15/56. Again, since the fraction is positive, therefore, the fractions will be proper. Therefore, 3/2, or 5/4 will not be counted. Therefore,

First possible pairs = (3/7)*(5/8) = 15/56

second possible pairs = (3/4)*(5/14) = 15/56

third possible pairs = (1/2)*(15/28) = 15/56

fourth possible pairs = (3/8)*(5/7) = 15/56

So, we can get those four possible pairs. Among those, first 3 pairs are different. Therefore, those are possible pairs.

Write the equation of the line that passes through points (-7,8) and (4,-5)

Alex

Answer:

y=-3/11x+67/11

Step-by-step explanation:

y-8=-5-8/4--7(x--7)

y-8=-3/11(x+7)

11y-88=-3x-21

11y=-3x-21+88

11y=-3x+67

y=-3/11x+67/11

Lars deposited $50 into a savings account for which interest is compounded quarterly. According to the rule of 72, what interest

Ivanshal [37]

Answer: C 2.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

The "Rule of 72" is a easy way to calculate how much time an investment will take to double with a given fixed annual rate of interest.

Just we have to divide 72 by the annual rate of return(r), we can get a rough estimate of how many years it will take to double the initial investment .

Now, in given problem: Let 'r' be the rate of interest

Time to double the amount=29 years

Thus by rule 72 ,

$\frac{72}{r}=29\\\Rightarrow\ r=\frac{72}{29}=2.4827\%\approx2.5\%$

Therefore, C is the right option.

A fair coin is tossed four times. What is the probability that the number of heads appearing on the first two tosses is equal to

alekssr [168]

Answer: 3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is a fair coin, then generally, P(Head) = P(Tail) = ½

And since we've been asked to find the probability that the number of heads in the first two tosses be equal to the number of heads in the second two tosses, tossing a fair coin four times, the possible outcomes of having equal number of heads in first two tosses and second two tosses becomes:

[HHHH] or [HTHT] or [THTH] or [TTTT] or [HTTH] or [THHT]

=[½*½×½*½] + [½*½×½*½] + [½*½×½*½] + [½*½×½*½] + [½*½×½*½] + [½*½×½*½]

=1/16 * 6

=6/16

=3/8.

A veterinarian does research on the causes of enteroliths, stones that develop in the colon of horses. She suspects that feeding

dsp73

Answer:

On average, horses with and without enteroliths are fed the same amount of alfalfa per month

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The veterinarian wants to research if eating alfalfa causes horses to have enteroliths.

The study variables are:

X₁: number of alfalfa flakes eaten over a month by a horse with enteroliths.

X₂: number of alfalfa flakes eaten over a month by a horse free of enteroliths.

She calculated a CI interval, with level 1 - α and the interval contained the cero.

With a significance level α, the hypotheses are:

H₀: μ₁ - μ₂ = 0

H₁: μ₁ - μ₂ ≠ 0

To decide whether you should reject or not the null hypothesis using a Confidence Interval is the following:

If the CI contains the number stated in the null hypothesis, the decision is to not reject the null hypothesis.

If the CI doesn't contain the number stated in the null hypothesis, then the decision is to reject the null hypothesis.

Since the interval contains the cero, if 1 - α and α are complementary, the decision is to reject the null hypothesis.

This means that at a level of significance of α, you can conclude that there is no difference between the population means of the numbers of alfalfa flakes eaten by horses with or without enteroliths.

I hope it helps!
