Answer:

$-\frac{4}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

There is not much that can be done to figure out how to write 0.8 as a fraction, except to literally use what the decimal portion of your number, the .8, means.

Since there are 1 digits in 8, the very last digit is the "10th" decimal place.

So we can just say that .8 is the same as 8/10.

The fraction is not reduced to lowest terms. We can reduce this fraction to lowest terms by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2.

Why divide by 2? 2 is the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) or Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of the numbers 8 and 10.

So, this fraction reduced to lowest terms is 4/5

So your final answer is: 0.8 can be written as the fraction 8/10 simplified to 4/5

What is the area of an equilateral triangle that has 2 yards and a height of 4.25 ft?

RUDIKE [14]

The first thing you need to do is convert the yards into feet. In one yard there are three feet. So 2*3=6 now you can do the triangle area equation. 6*4.25=25.5 then divide by two. 25.5/2=12.75So the area of the triangle is 12.75 ft^2Hope this helps

13, 5, 4, 9, 7, 14, 4 The deviations are _____.

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

B."5, -3, -4, 1, -1, 6, -4"

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

13,5,4,9,7,14,4

We have to find the deviation.

Mean= $\frac{sum\;of\;data}{total\;number\;of\;data}$

Using the formula

$Mean,\mu=\frac{13+5+4+9+7+14+4}{7}$

$Mean,\mu=\frac{56}{7}=8$

Deviation= $x_i-\mu$

$x_i-\mu$

13 5

5 -3

4 - 4

9 1

7 -1

14 6

4 - 4

Hence, option B is correct.

In 1943, an organization surveyed 1100 adults and asked, "Are you a total abstainer from, or do you on occasion consume, alc

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

We conclude that the proportion of adults who totally abstain from alcohol has changed.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that in 1943, an organization surveyed 1100 adults and asked, "Are you a total abstainer from, or do you on occasion consume, alcoholic beverages?"

Of the 1100 adults surveyed, 429 indicated that they were total abstainers. In a recent survey, the same question was asked of 1100 adults and 352 in

Let p = proportion of adults who totally abstain from alcohol.

where, p = $\frac{429}{1100}$ = 0.39

So, Null Hypothesis, $H_0$ : p = 39% {means that the proportion of adults who totally abstain from alcohol has not changed}

Alternate Hypothesis, $H_A$ : p $\neq$ 39% {means that the proportion of adults who totally abstain from alcohol has changed}

The test statistics that would be used here One-sample z proportion statistics;

T.S. = $\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\hat p$ = sample proportion of adults who totally abstain from alcohol = $\frac{352}{1100}$ = 0.32

n = sample of adults surveyed = 1100

So, test statistics = $\frac{0.32-0.39}{\sqrt{\frac{0.32(1-0.32)}{1100} } }$

= -4.976

The value of z test statistics is -4.976.

Now, at 0.10 significance level the z table gives critical values of -1.645 and 1.645 for two-tailed test.

Since our test statistics doesn't lie within the range of critical values of z, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region due to which we reject our null hypothesis.

Therefore, we conclude that the proportion of adults who totally abstain from alcohol has changed.
