Four ninths plus nine eighteenths :]
1 answer:
Answer: 17/18
In words, this is seventeen eighteenths
==========================================
Work Shown:
4/9 + 9/18
8/18 + 9/18 ... see note below
(8+9)/18
17/18
----------------
note: To go from 4/9 to 8/18, we multiply top and bottom by 2. So that's why 4/9 = 8/18.
The diagram below shows a visual representation of why 4/9 = 8/18.
In the top row, I've drawn out 9 rectangles of the same size. Then I've shaded 4 of the 9 rectangles to represent the fraction 4/9. In the bottom row, I've cut each of those 9 rectangles into two smaller equal pieces, so we have 9*2 = 18 rectangles now. Note how the shaded regions are the same size, so this shows 4 green regions doubles to 2*4 = 8 yellow regions; therefore 4/9 is the same as 8/18.

Answer: 267.
Step-by-step explanation:
When there is no prior information for the population proportion, then the formula we use to find the sample size to estimate the confidence interval :
, where z* = Critical z-value and E + amrgin of error.
Let p = proportion of packages of ground beef sold at a particular store that have an actual fat content exceeding the fat content stated on the label.
Since , we have no prior information about p. so we use above formula
with E = 0.06 and critical value for 95% confidence =z* =1.96 [By z-table ] , we get
Hence, the required sample size is 267.
