Answer:

0.275

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to write 11 out of 40 batters as a decimal.

We can write 11 out of 40 as a fraction to get:

$\frac{11}{40}$

Note that:

$\frac{11}{40} = \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{11}{10}$

This implies that:

$\frac{11}{40} = 0.25 \times 1.1$

This gives us

$\frac{11}{40 } = 0.275$

Step-by-step explanation:

Yoko is buying a car from a local car dealership. She wants to get the lowest interest rate possible.

B) making sure she has a positive credit history - will most likely help her get the lowest interest rate.

Getting low interest rates does not depend on the way you talk or if you have a driver licence.

It depends on your previous credit history and credit scores. When you have good scores, this means you have always paid your debts on time and this makes sure that you will do the same in future.

So, you get low interest rates based on good credit history.

A spinner used in a board game is divided into 12 equally sized sectors. Seven of these sectors indicate that the player should

xeze [42]

Answer:

20.8 inches squared

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of spinner:

45.1 is the area of sectors where the token doesn't move, which 5 sectors doesn't move the token (don't forget that the bonus points doesn't move token). Then

45.1/5=9.02

9.02*12=108.24

K=1/2(r^2)sin150

108.24=1/2(r^2)sin150

216.48=(r^2)1/2

432.96=r^2

r=20.8

Suppose that an individual has a body fat percentage of 15.9% and weighs 159. How many pounds of her weight is made up of fat? R

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

25.3 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

We can multiply the whole by the percentage to find the part. Since 15.9% is equal to 0.159, the weight of fat is 159*0.159 = 25.281. Round this to the nearest tenth, and we get 25.3 pounds.

Nataly [62]

Answer:

$(0.582-0.485) - 1.64 \sqrt{\frac{0.582(1-0.582)}{144796} +\frac{0.485(1-0.485)}{211693}}=0.0942$

$(0.582-0.485) + 1.64 \sqrt{\frac{0.582(1-0.582)}{144796} +\frac{0.485(1-0.485)}{211693}}=0.09978$

And the 90% confidence interval would be given (0.0942;0.09978).

We are confident at 90% that the difference between the two proportions is between $0.0942 \leq p_A -p_B \leq 0.09978$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$p_A$ represent the real population proportion female for Biology

$\hat p_A =\frac{84199}{144796}=0.582$ represent the estimated proportion female for biology

$n_A=144796$ is the sample size for A

$p_B$ represent the real population proportion female for calculus AB

$\hat p_B =\frac{102598}{211693}=0.485$ represent the estimated proportion female for Calculus AB

$n_B=211693$ is the sample size required for B

$z$ represent the critical value for the margin of error

The population proportion have the following distribution

$p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})$

The confidence interval for the difference of two proportions would be given by this formula

$(\hat p_A -\hat p_B) \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p_A(1-\hat p_A)}{n_A} +\frac{\hat p_B (1-\hat p_B)}{n_B}}$

For the 90% confidence interval the value of $\alpha=1-0.90=0.1$ 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:

$(0.582-0.485) - 1.64 \sqrt{\frac{0.582(1-0.582)}{144796} +\frac{0.485(1-0.485)}{211693}}=0.0942$

$(0.582-0.485) + 1.64 \sqrt{\frac{0.582(1-0.582)}{144796} +\frac{0.485(1-0.485)}{211693}}=0.09978$

And the 90% confidence interval would be given (0.0942;0.09978).

We are confident at 90% that the difference between the two proportions is between $0.0942 \leq p_A -p_B \leq 0.09978$
