Step 1: Factor both the numerator and denominator of the fraction. Step 2: Reduce the fraction. Step 3: Rewrite any remaining expressions in the numerator and denominator. Step 1: Factor both the numerator and denominator of the fraction. - hope this helps :)

Megan has $50 and saves $5.50 each week. Conner has $18.50 and saves $7.75 each week. After how many weeks will Megan and conner

QveST [7]

After 14 weeks, both Megan and Conner will have saved the same amount.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount Megan have = $50

Amount saved each week = $5.50

Amount Conner have = $18.50

Amount saved each week = $7.75

Let,

x be the number of weeks.

According to given statement;

M(x) = 50+5.50x Eqn 1

C(x) = 18.50+7.75x Eqn 2

For amount to be same;

Eqn 1 = Eqn 2

$50+5.50x=18.50+7.75x\\50-18.50=7.75x-5.50x\\31.50=2.25x\\2.25x=31.50\\$

Dividing both sides by 2.25

$\frac{2.25x}{2.25}=\frac{31.50}{2.25}\\x=14$

After 14 weeks, both Megan and Conner will have saved the same amount.

In the Salk vaccine field trial, 400,000 children were part of a randomized controlled double-blind experiment. Just about half

EastWind [94]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

The number of children that were randomly allocated to each vaccination group; n₁ = 200,000

No of polio cases X₁ = 57

Now, in the vaccine group:

the proportion of polio cases is:

$\hat p_1 = \dfrac{57}{200000}$

= 0.000285

The number of children that were randomly allocated to the placebo group, n₂ = 200,000

No of polio cases X₂ = 142

In the placebo group

the proportion of polio cases is:

$\hat p_2 = \dfrac{142}{200000}$

Null and alternative hypothesis is computed as follows:

H₀: There is no difference in the proportions of polio cases between both groups.

H₁: There is a difference in the proportions of polio cases between both groups.

Let assume that the level of significance ∝ = 0.05

The test statistic can be computed as:

$Z = \dfrac{\hat p_1-\hat p_2}{\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat p_1 \hat q_1}{n_1}+ \dfrac{\hat p_2 \hat q_2}{n_2}}}$

$Z = \dfrac{0.000285-0.000710}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.000285(1-0.000285)}{200000}+ \dfrac{0.000710(1-0.000710)}{200000}}}$

$Z = \dfrac{-4.25\times 10^{-4}}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.000285(0.999715)}{200000}+ \dfrac{0.000710(0.99929)}{200000}}}$

Z = - 6.03

P-value = 2P(Z < -6.03)

From the Z - tables

P-value = 2 × 0.0000

= 0.000

We reject the H₀ provided that P-value is very less.

Therefore, we may conclude that there is a difference in the proportions of polio cases between the vaccine group and placebo group not due to chance.
