To find the product of 3 7 × 2 9 , Cameron simplified 3 7 to 1 7 and then multiplied the fractions 1 7 and 2 9 to find the produ

ct 2 63 . What is Cameron's error? Cameron divided a factor in one of the numerators by the GCF but did not divide a factor in one of the denominators by the GCF. He should have simplified 2 9 to and multiplied 1 7 and to find the product .

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Cameron task: 3/7 × 2/9

What he did:

• Simplify 3/7 to 1/7

• mulitiplied the fractions 1/7 and 2/9

Cameron's error was:

• The "simplification":

To simplify a fraction is to reduce to the lowest possible multiple. Illustration:

Simplify 16/100

= 2/25

But in the case of 3/7, the answer is 3/7.

What Cameron would have done:

1. 3/7 = 2/7 + 1/7

3/7 × 2/9 = (2/7 × 2/9) + (1/7 × 2/9)

= 4/63 + 2/63

= 6/63

2. since he simplified 3/7 to 1/7

1/7 = 3/7 × 1/3

Therefore,

3/7 × 2/9 = 1/7 × (2/9 × 3)

= 1/7 × 6/9

= 6/63

A bank made a farmer loan of $1,000 at 14% for 3 years compounded annually. Find the future value and the compound interest paid
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

Principal =  $1,000

Rate of interest = 14% = 0.14

Time = 3 years

A= P(1+r)^t

A = Amount or future value

P = Principal

r = rate of interest in decimals

t = time

Substitute the values in the formula

A= 1000(1+0.14)^3

A=1481.544

Future Value is $1481.544

Compound interest = Amount - Principal = $1481.544- $1000 = $481.544

Formula of simple interest : SI =\frac{P \times R \times T}{100}

Substitute the values :

SI =\frac{1000 \times 14 \times 3}{100}

SI =420

So, Simple interest = $420

Compound interest - Simple interest

= $481.544- $420

= $61.544

So, Compound Interest is $61.544 more than simple interest.

To illustrate the effects of driving under the influence of alcohol, a police officer brought a DUI simulator to a local high sc
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have to first of all carry out dependent sample t test. consequently wore goggles first was selected at random for the reason that the reaction time in an emergency taken with goggles would be greater than the amount of reaction time in an emergency taken with not so weakened vision. So that we will get the positive differences d = impaired - normal

b)

To find 95% confidence interval first we need to find sample mean and sample sd for difference d = impaired minus normal.

We can find it using excel that is in the first attached image below,

Therefore sample mean ( \bar{X}_{d} ) = 0.98

Sample sd ( \bar{S}_{d} ) = 0.3788

To find 95% Confidence interval we can use TI-84 calculator,

Press STAT ----> Scroll to TESTS ---- > Scroll down to 8: T Interval and hit enter.

Kindly check the attached image below.

Therefore we are 95% confident that mean difference in braking time with impaired vision and normal vision is between ( 0.6888 , 1.2712)

Conclusion : As both values in the interval are greater than 0 , mean difference impaired minus normal is not equal to 0

There is significant evidence that  there is a difference in braking time with impaired vision and normal vision at 95% confidence level .
