Ronch [10]3 years ago

Let's add the fractions first and then we can estimate the sum.


= 31/4 + 17/3 + 8/18
change to common denominators

= 279/36 + 204/36 + 16/36
add numerators only

= 499/36 or 13 31/36 or 13.86


ANSWER: (B) 13 is the best estimate of the answer. Normally we round up to 14 with a number like 13.86, but since that is not a choice, we can estimate 13 as the answer.

In a mathematics test, Azmah scored 17 marks more than Yazid while Suzana's score is twice of Yazid's score. If their total scor
natta225 [31]

Answer:

53 marks

Step-by-step explanation:

To sue a linear equation to solve the given problem, we must assign a function to the score of one of them. Let the score of Azmah be N. Then given that Azmah scored 17 marks more than Yazid, Yazid's score will be

= N - 17

Given that Suzana's score is twice of Yazid's score, then Suzana's score

= 2(N - 17)

If their total score is 161 then

N + N - 17 + 2(N - 17) = 161

4N = 161 + 51

4N = 212

N = 53 . This is Azmah's score

A researcher wants to see if birds that build larger nests lay larger eggs. He selects two random samples of nests: one of small
True [87]

Answer:

95% confidence interval for the difference between the average mass of eggs in small and large nest is between a lower limit of 0.81 and an upper limit of 2.39.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval is given by mean +/- margin of error (E)

Eggs from small nest

Sample size (n1) = 60

Mean = 37.2

Sample variance = 24.7

Eggs from large nest

Sample size (n2) = 159

Mean = 35.6

Sample variance = 39

Pooled variance = [(60-1)24.7 + (159-1)39] ÷ (60+159-2) = 7619.3 ÷ 217 = 35.11

Standard deviation = sqrt(pooled variance) = sqrt(35.11) = 5.93

Difference in mean = 37.2 - 35.6 = 1.6

Degree of freedom = n1+n2 - 2 = 60+159-2 = 217

Confidence level = 95%

Critical value (t) corresponding to 217 degrees of freedom and 95% confidence level is 1.97132

E = t×sd/√(n1+n2) = 1.97132×5.93/√219 = 0.79

Lower limit = mean - E = 1.6 - 0.79 = 0.81

Upper limit = mean + E = 1.6 + 0.79 = 2.39

95% confidence interval for the difference in average mass is (0.81, 2.39)

Analyze Lorena's work to determine which statements are correct. Check all that apply. In Step 1, she correctly distributed –3
12345 [234]

Answer:

The answer is "The correct step are 1, 2 and 4 ".

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question some data is missing so, its correct question can be defined as follows:

In the given equation:  

\to \bold{5k -3(2k- \frac{2}{3}) -9 =0}

Lorena's steps should be evaluated  

In Stage 1: It is right because it allocates – 3 to parentheses appropriately, , that's why she has 5k-6k+2-9=0  

In Stage 2:  It is right because in this term  5k and 2k are merged, that's why  she got -k-7=0  

In Stage 3:  It is not right because the propagation property of fair treatment was not used.  

In Stage 4: It is right because it multiplies the variable on one of the two sides by -1. So, k=-7 to get.
