You can cross multiply. Which means that you multiply the denominator of the first fraction to the numerator of the 2nd fraction.Whichever has the largest number when you multiply will be the largest fractions.

EX: 1/4 and 1/2 you multiply the 4 to the 1 of the second fraction which will total out to 4. Then the numerator of the first fraction which is 1 time the denominator of the second fraction which is 2. Since the bigger number is over the fraction 1/4 that means 1/4 is larger than 1/2.

The table shows preferences of dancing or playing sports for male and female students:
GuDViN [60]

The conditional relative frequency for female students who prefer playing sports is 34%.

<h3>How to determine the statistic calculated?</h3>

The table of values is given as:

                        Sports   Dancing Row totals

Male students      18             16        34

Female students  18             35       53

Column totals       36            51         87

Mason's calculation is given as:

P = 21%

This is gotten by

18/87 = 21%

The above represents the joint relative frequency of female students who prefer playing sports.

To calculate the conditional relative frequency, he should divide 18 by the row total.

So, we have

18/53 = 34%

Hence, the conditional relative frequency for female students who prefer playing sports is 34%.

A bus makes a stop at 2:30, letting off 11 people and letting on 8. The bus makes another stop ten minutes later to let off 5 mo
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

The actual number of passengers on the bus falling by 8 after the second stop

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that the total passengers on the bus before 2:30 was x

At 2:30:

11 passengers got off and 8 got on.

So, the number of passengers

= x - 11 + 8

= x - 3

10 minutes later:

5 passengers got off the bus

So, the number of passengers

number of passengers = (x - 3) - 5

number of passengers = x - 8

now by comparing,

The actual number of passengers on the bus falling by 8 after the second stop

Answer:

The solution to the system of equations be:

x = 2, y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equation

y - 2 = x

y = 3x - 2

substitute y = 3x - 2 in the equation y - 2 = x

y - 2 = x

(3x - 2) - 2 = x

3x -2 -2 = x

3x - 4 = x

add 4 from both sides

3x - 4 + 4 = x + 4

3x = x + 4

subtract x from both sides

3x - x = x + 4 - x

3x - x = 4

2x = 4

divide both sides by 2

2x/2 = 4/2

x = 2

For y = 3x - 2, plug in x = 2

y = 3x - 2

y = 3(2) - 2

y = 6 - 2

y = 4

Therefore, the solution to the system of equations be:

x = 2, y = 4
