a cheap way to go about it is, let's do away with the denominators, and we'll do so by simply multiplying both sides by the the LCD of all fractions, in this case, that'd be "ab", so we multiply both sides by "ab".


\bf \cfrac{1}{a}+\cfrac{1}{b}=c\implies\stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{ab}}{ab\left( \cfrac{1}{a}+\cfrac{1}{b} \right)=ab(c)}\implies b+a=abc \\\\\\ a=abc-b\implies a=\stackrel{\textit{common factor}}{b(ac-1)}\implies \cfrac{a}{ac-1}=b

The spread of data set X is greater than the spread of data set Y, and the data sets are normally distributed. Which statement i
topjm [15]
<span>The standard deviation is a measure of how far dispersed around the mean the individual parts of a distribution are. Therefore, because data set X has a greater spread, its standard deviation is going to be greater than that of data set Y. Items such as the mean, median, or mode are measures of central tendency and do not impact the standard deviation.</span>
