By what percent will a fraction change if its numerator is decreased by 20% and its denominator is decreased by 60%?

Answer:

The fraction will increase by 100%

Step-by-step explanation:

Say the fraction is x/y. The question is telling us to decrease x by 20% (i.e. 0.8x) and to decrease y by 60% (i.e. 0.4y):

= \frac{0.8x}{0.4y}\\= 2 (\frac {x}{y})

You can see that by applying these changes, the new fraction is actually double the old fraction (i.e. will increase by 100%).

Answer:

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

x=1x so 1-0.6=0.4x

y=1y so 1-0.2=0.8x

0.4x/0.8y

Simplify:

1x/2y= 0.5xy

0.5xy*100=50%

So it decreased by 50%

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line represented by the equation y=3/4x-1/2?
kherson [118]
The answer is:   " - (4/3) " .
____________________________________
Explanation:
____________________________________
The original equation given has a slope of (3/4).

Note:  We know this since the equation for the slope of the line is written in "slope-intercept form" ; also known as: "point-slope form";  that is:

  " y = mx + b " ;  in which "m" (the coefficient of "x") is the slope.
____________________________________________________
The slope of a line PERPENDICULAR to an equation, when written in "slope-intercept form", is the "negative reciprocal" of the slope of the original line.

Hence, the negative reciprocal of "(3/4)"  is:  "-(4/3)" .

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

Null hypothesis:\mu = 65  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu \neq 65

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".  

For this case the value of \mu represent the parameter associated to the population (True average of cofee temperature)

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation  

\bar X=70.2 represent the mean height for the sample  

s represent the sample standard deviation for the sample  

n=20 sample size  

\mu_o =765 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 check if the true mean i equal to 70.2, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu = 65  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu \neq 65  

If we analyze the size for the sample is < 30 and we don't know the population deviation so 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".  

For this case the value of \mu represent the parameter associated to the population (True average of cofee temperature)

What is the Mean, Mode, and Median of this set? <br><br> 23, 34, 54, 43, 46, 27, 29
Alecsey [184]
43 is the median, the mean is 36.6 (36.57 rounded up) and since none of the numbers repeat, there isn't really a mode.
Hope this helps
