Hello need help please with Divide rational and simplify
1 answer:
Dividing fractions is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal so you can change the equation to this
And you can simplify by eliminating the fours and multiplying straight across
You can pull out - 7 from the top and 2 from the bottom so you have this
And then you can cancel out to (2-x) to get an answer of

Answer:
This data suggest that there is more variability in low-dose weight gains than in control weight gains.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let be the variance for the population of weight gains for rats given a low dose, and
the variance for the population of weight gains for control rats whose diet did not include the insecticide.
We want to test vs
. We have that the sample standard deviation for
female control rats was
g and for
female low-dose rats was
g. So, we have observed the value
which comes from a F distribution with
degrees of freedom (numerator) and
degrees of freedom (denominator).
As we want carry out a test of hypothesis at the significance level of 0.05, we should find the 95th quantile of the F distribution with 17 and 21 degrees of freedom, this value is 2.1389. The rejection region is given by {F > 2.1389}, because the observed value is 3.3176 > 2.1389, we reject the null hypothesis. So, this data suggest that there is more variability in low-dose weight gains than in control weight gains.
