Infinitely many ways! 
Suppose you have the fraction 2/d.

<span>Pick </span>any<span> pair of integers a and b where b ≠ 0.</span>
Then 2b-ad is and integer, as is bd so that (2b - ad)/bd is a fraction.

Consider the fractions a/b and (2b - ad)/bd

<span>Their sum is </span>
a/b + (2b-ad)/bd = ad/bd + (2b-ad)/bd = 2b/bd = 2/d - as required.

<span>Since a and b were chosen arbitrarily, there are infinitely many possible answers to the question.</span>

A roll of tape has a circumference of 14.8 centimeters. The circumference decreases 2.4 centimeters after you use some of the ta
Lelu [443]

Answer:

7.900 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the diameter after using the tape is given below:

Since the circumference is 14.8 cm

And it would be decrease by 2.4 cm

So, the new circumference is

= 14.8 - 2.4

= 12.4 cm

Now the radius is

= 12.4 ÷ π

= 3.95

And, the diameter is

= 3.95 × 2

= 7.900 cm

Well first add up all the numbers of marbles (which is 34 in total) and divide it by the number of black marbles.
(which should give you 8/34)
Then simplify the fraction and you should get 4/17

It is claimed that automobiles are driven on average more than 20,000 kilometers per year. To test this claim, 100 randomly sele
kow [346]

Answer:

t=\frac{23500-20000}{\frac{3900}{\sqrt{100}}}=8.974      

p_v =P(t_{99}>8.974)=9.43x10^{-15}  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given for example \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we to reject the null hypothesis, and the actual mean is significantly higher than 20000.      

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation      

\bar X=23500 represent the sample mean  

s=3900 represent the sample standard deviation      

n=100 sample size      

\mu_o =2000 represent the value that we want to test    

\alpha represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.    

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)      

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)  

State the null and alternative hypotheses.      

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to determine if the true mean is higher than 20000, the system of hypothesis would be:      

Null hypothesis:\mu \leq 2000      

Alternative hypothesis:\mu > 2000      

We don't know the population deviation, so for this case is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:      

t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}} (1)      

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".  

Calculate the statistic      

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:      

t=\frac{23500-20000}{\frac{3900}{\sqrt{100}}}=8.974      

Calculate the P-value      

First we need to calculate the degrees of freedom given by:  

df=n-1=100-1=99  

Since is a one-side upper test the p value would be:      

p_v =P(t_{99}>8.974)=9.43x10^{-15}  

Conclusion      

If we compare the p value and the significance level given for example \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we to reject the null hypothesis, and the actual mean is significantly higher than 20000.

zlopas [31]

Answer:

  • 170.7 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original water level is x.

<u>Use below equation to find its value:</u>

  • x + 2.4 + 3 1/2 = 162 + 14.6
  • x + 2.4 + 3.5 = 176.6
  • x + 5.9 = 176.6
  • x = 176.6 - 5.9
  • x = 170.7 cm
