Answer:

51/12

as a mixed number

4 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

first you add 8 to 4 which is 12

so the improper fraction would be 51/12

how to turn it in to a mixed number in simplest form

step 1 - Find Whole Number

Calculate out how many times the denominator goes into the numerator. To do that, divide 51 by 12 and keep only what is to the left of the decimal point:

51 / 12 = 4.2500 = 4

Step 2 - Find New Numerator

Multiply the answer from Step 1 by the denominator and deduct that from the original numerator.

51 - (12 x 4) = 3

Step 3 - Put Together

Keep the original denominator and use the answers from Step 1 and Step 2 to get this:

Step 4 - Minimize

Minimize the fraction part from Step 3 by dividing the numerator and denominator by 3, which is the greatest common factor, to get the final answer. 51/12 as a Mixed Number is:

Draw the graph of f(x) = (x − 1)2 − 2. Start by creating a table of ordered pairs for the function. Then plot the points from th

The attached graph represents the graph of f(x) = (x - 1)^2 - 2

<h3>How to plot the graph?</h3>

The equation is given as:

f(x) = (x - 1)^2 - 2

Next, we set x to -2, -1, 0, 1 and 2.

So, we have:

f(-2) = (-2 - 1)^2 - 2 = 7

f(-1) = (-1 - 1)^2 - 2 = 2

f(0) = (0 - 1)^2 - 2 = -1

f(1) = (1 - 1)^2 - 2 = -2

f(2) = (2 - 1)^2 - 2 = -1

This means that the table of values is

x f(x)

-2 7

-1 2

0 -1

1 -2

2 -1

Next, we plot the above points and connect them.

Simplify the expression.

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

((7x-4)^2) - (7x-4)(7x-4) + 3

(7x-4)(7x-4) is 7x-4^2

So its (7x-4)^2 - (7x-4)^2 + 3

(7x-4)^2 cancel out.

Your delivery runs took 7 hours 12 minutes on Monday,6 hours 46 minutes on Wednesday and 6 hours 53 minutes on Friday. What was

blagie [28]

7 hours + 6 hours + 6 hours
=19 hours
12 minutes + 46 minutes + 53 minutes
=111 minutes
=1 hour 51 minutes

19 hours + 1 hour and 51 minutes is 20 hours and 51 minutes. This is the total time.

Average time = total time/number of deliveries

(20 and 51/60) divided by 3
=6.95 hours
= 6 hours and 57 minutes

A doctor released the results of clinical trials for a vaccine to prevent a particular disease. In these clinical trials, 200,0

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

1) No, there is not enough evidence to support the claim that the vaccine was effective (P-value=0.104) .

The null and alternative hypothesis are:

$H_0: \pi_1-\pi_2=0\\\\H_a:\pi_1-\pi_2< 0$

being the subindex 1 for the experimental group and subindex 2 for the control group.

2) Test statistic z=-1.26

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a hypothesis test for the difference between proportions.

The claim is that the vaccine was effective.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

$H_0: \pi_1-\pi_2=0\\\\H_a:\pi_1-\pi_2< 0$

The significance level is 0.01.

The sample 1 (experimental group), of size n1=100000 has a proportion of p1=0.0002.

$p_1=X_1/n_1=21/100000=0.0002$

The sample 2 (control group), of size n2=100000 has a proportion of p2=0.0003.

$p_2=X_2/n_2=30/100000=0.0003$

The difference between proportions is (p1-p2)=-0.0001.

$p_d=p_1-p_2=0.0002-0.0003=-0.0001$

The pooled proportion, needed to calculate the standard error, is:

$p=\dfrac{X_1+X_2}{n_1+n_2}=\dfrac{21+30}{100000+100000}=\dfrac{51}{200000}=0.00026$

The estimated standard error of the difference between means is computed using the formula:

$s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_1}+\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_2}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.00026*0.99974}{100000}+\dfrac{0.00026*0.99974}{100000}}\\\\\\s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{0+0.0000000025}=\sqrt{0.0000000051}=0.000071$

Then, we can calculate the z-statistic as:

$z=\dfrac{p_d-(\pi_1-\pi_2)}{s_{p1-p2}}=\dfrac{-0.00009-0}{0.000071}=\dfrac{-0.00009}{0.000071}=-1.26$

This test is a left-tailed test, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a z-table):

$P-value=P(z$

As the P-value (0.104) is bigger than the significance level (0.01), the effect is not significant.

The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

There is not enough evidence to support the claim that the vaccine was effective.
