Jim is running on a trail that is 5/4 of a mile long. So far he has run 2/3 of the trail. How many miles has he run so far?

1 answer:

7 0

You have to subtract 5/4 by 2/3 but in order to do that you must find a common denominator or least common multiple so the least common denominator of 4 and 3 is 12 so you have to multiply 4 by 3 and three by 4 to make both denominators 12 but you have to do the same thing on the top as you did the bottom so: 5/4*3= 15/12 and 2/3*4=8/12 Then 15/12-8/12 is 7/12 so Jim has to run 7/12 more

The average expenditure on Valentine's Day was expected to be $100.89 (USA Today, February 13, 2006). Do male and female consume

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

Yes. The male and female consumers differ in the amounts they spend.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can express the null and alternative hypothesis as:

$H_0: \mu_m=\mu_w\\\\H_1: \mu_m\neq\mu_w$

It is assumed a significance level of 0.05.

The standard deviation of the difference of means is calculated as:

$s=\sqrt{\frac{s_m^2}{n_m} +\frac{s_w^2}{n_w} } =\sqrt{\frac{35^2}{40} +\frac{20^2}{30} } =\sqrt{30.625+13.333} =\sqrt{43.958} =6.63$

The test statistic is

$t=\frac{(M_m-M_w)-0}{s}=\frac{135.67-68.64}{6.63}=10.11$

The degrees of freedom are:

$df=n_1+n_2-2=40+30-2=68$

The P-value for t=10.11 is P=0, so it is smaller than the significance level. The null hypothesis is rejected.

We can conclude that male and female consumers differ in the amounts they spend.
