How is adding mixed numbers with unlike denominators the same as adding fractions with unlike denominators? How is it different?

1 answer:

5 0

To add a mixed number you must first convert it into a heavy headed fraction eg. 12/4
Then you must find a common denominator for all of the fractions like you normally do for regular addition of fractions
After you have added them you must convert the heavy headed fraction back into a mixed number by seeing how many times the numerator goes into the denominator

cluponka [151]

These ad agencies must focus on their target audience, which are the students. Hence, they should gather data on the pool that will surely comprise of students. For agency B, social media posting is not a good source pool. It's true that students are very participative and opinionated in social media. However, they can't be sure that these are students. Some parents are in social media, as well. Some are working individuals, and some are out of school youth. Unlike agency A, agency B has to sort out profiles first and identify which ones are students. Hence, agency A will produce a fair sample of the student population because it is unarguably true that everyone in the school enrollment data are students.

The answer is B.

A Survey of 85 company employees shows that the mean length of the Christmas vacation was 4.5 days, with a standard deviation of

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the population's mean length of vacation, in days, is (4.24, 4.76).

The 92% confidence interval for the population's mean length of vacation, in days, is (4.27, 4.73).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviations for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 85 - 1 = 84

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 84 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of $1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975$ . So we have T = 1.989.

The margin of error is:

$M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 1.989\frac{1.2}{\sqrt{85}} = 0.26$

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 4.5 - 0.26 = 4.24 days

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 4.5 + 0.26 = 4.76 days

The 95% confidence interval for the population's mean length of vacation, in days, is (4.24, 4.76).

92% confidence interval:

Following the sample logic, the critical value is 1.772. So

$M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 1.772\frac{1.2}{\sqrt{85}} = 0.23$

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 4.5 - 0.23 = 4.27 days

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 4.5 + 0.23 = 4.73 days

The 92% confidence interval for the population's mean length of vacation, in days, is (4.27, 4.73).
