3/4 + -3/8 + -1/4=? Evaluate the expression

Mathematics

Answer: -1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4 + -3/8 + -1/4

Find the LCM of 4, 8, and 4

That's 8 so you make an equivalent fraction for all fractions so the denominator is 8.

3/4 = 6/8

-3/8 = -3/8

-1/4 = -4/8

Now the expression looks like this:

6/8 + - 3/8 + -4/8

6/8 - 3/8 - 4/8

6/8 - 7/8

-1/8

Hope that helped!

I. Tell whether each statement is TRUE or FALSE. Refer to the figure below. Write your answer on the space provided.

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

1. TRUE

2. TRUE

3. TRUE

4. TRUE

5. FALSE

6. TRUE

Step-by-step explanation:

1. From the diagram, we have that m∠2 and m∠7 are alternate interior angles

If m∠2 = 70° and m∠7 = 70°, then we have;

m∠2 = 70° = m∠7

m∠2 = m∠7

Therefore, the alternate interior angles of the lines l₁, and l₂ are equal, and therefore, the lines l₁ and l₂ are parallel, l₁ ║ l₂

TRUE

2. If m∠3 = 90° and m∠7 = 90°, therefore, the angle formed by the intersection of l₃ and l₂ = 90°

Therefore l₃ ⊥ l₂

TRUE

3. m∠5 and m∠7 are corresponding angles

If m∠5 = 85° and m∠7 = 85°, then, m∠5 = m∠7

Therefore, the corresponding angles formed by the lines l₁ and l₂ are equal, therefore;

l₁ ║ l₂

TRUE

4. Whereby we have, m∠1 = m∠5, we get;

m∠1 + m∠5 = 180° by sum of angles on a straight line

∴ m∠1 + m∠5 = m∠1 + m∠1 = 2·m∠1 = 180°

m∠1 = 180°/2 = 90°

∴ m∠1 = 90° = m∠5, and l₃ ⊥ l₁

TRUE

5. m∠1 and m∠8 are alternate exterior angles

If m∠1 = 98° and m∠8 = 82°

∴ m∠1 ≠ m∠8 and l₁ ∦ l₈

FALSE

6. Given that l₁║ l₂, then the angle formed between l₁ and l₃ will be equal to th angle formed between l₂ and l₃

Therefore;

If l₁║ l₂, and l₃ ⊥ l₁, then l₃ ⊥ l₂

(If l₁║ l₂, and l₃ is perpendicular to l₁, then l₃ is also perpendicular to l₂)

TRUE

A local car dealer claims that 25% of all cars in San Francisco are blue. You take a random sample of 600 cars in San Francisco

sammy [17]

Answer:

No, we can't reject the dealer's claim with a significance level of 0.05.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a local car dealer claims that 25% of all cars in San Francisco are blue.

You take a random sample of 600 cars in San Francisco and find that 141 are blue.

Let p = proportion of all cars in San Francisco who are blue

SO, Null Hypothesis, $H_0$ : p = 25% {means that 25% of all cars in San Francisco are blue}

Alternate Hypothesis, $H_A$ : p $\neq$ 25% {means that % of all cars in San Francisco who are blue is different from 25%}

The test statistics that will be used here is One-sample z proportion statistics;

T.S. = $\frac{\hat p-p}{{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\hat p$ = sample proportion of 600 cars in San Francisco who are blue = $\frac{141}{600}$ = 0.235

n = sample of cars = 600

So, test statistics = $\frac{0.235-0.25}{{\sqrt{\frac{0.235(1-0.235)}{600} } } } }$

= -0.866

Now at 0.05 significance level, the z table gives critical values of -1.96 and 1.96 for two-tailed test. Since our test statistics lies within the range of critical values of z so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will not fall in the rejection region due to which we fail to reject our null hypothesis.

Therefore, we conclude that 25% of all cars in San Francisco are blue which means the dealer's claim was correct.

Answer:

30240

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 10 possibilities for the first time slot.

After that, there are 9 possibilities for the second time slot.

So on and so forth.

The number of ways five time slots can be assigned is:

10×9×8×7×6 = 30240

Or, using permutation notation, ₁₀P₅.
