Answer:

\frac{41}{28} = 1\frac{13}{28}

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to add fractions, the denominators must all be the same value (the lowest common denominator). The <em>lowest common denominator</em> is the smallest value that all of the given denominators (in this case, the denominators are 4, 14, and 7) can divide into.

Here, the smallest number that all three of the given denominators can perfectly divide into is 28:

28 ÷ 4 = 7

28 ÷ 14 = 2

28 ÷ 7 = 4

<em>Therefore, our lowest common denominator is 28.</em>

<em />

The next step is to change our numerators to match our lowest common denominator. To do this, we have to multiply the numerator by the same value that we would need to multiple the denominator by in order to get our lowest common denominator.

For our first term of 1/4, we need to multiply our denominator (4) by 7 in order to get our lowest common denominator of 28. So, we need to also multiply our numerator by 7:

\frac{1}{4} × \frac{7}{7} = \frac{7}{28}

<em>Therefore, our first term becomes </em>\frac{7}{28}<em>.</em>

For our second term of 5/14, we need to multiply our denominator (14) by 2. So, we need to also multiply our numerator by 2:

\frac{5}{14} × \frac{2}{2} = \frac{10}{28}

<em>Therefore, our second term becomes </em>\frac{10}{28}<em>.</em>

For our third term of 6/7, we need to multiply our denominator (7) by 4. So, we need to also multiply our numerator by 4:

\frac{6}{7} × \frac{4}{4} = \frac{24}{28}

<em>Therefore, our third term becomes </em>\frac{24}{28}<em>.</em>

Now that they all have the same denominator, we simply have to add all three together:

\frac{7}{28} + \frac{10}{28}<em> </em>+<em> </em>\frac{24}{28}<em> </em>= \frac{41}{28}

When we simplify this into a mixed number, we get:

\frac{41}{28} = 1\frac{13}{28}

vesna_86 [32]

Given :

Stephanie took a science exam that had two parts. Part 1: She got 16 questions correct, which was 4/5 of the number of part 1 questions. Part 2: She got 16 questions correct, which was 2/3 of the number of part 2 questions.

To Find :

The total number of questions on Stephanie's exam.

Solution :

Let, number of questions in Part 1 is x :

16=\dfrac{4}{5}x\\\\x=20

Let, number of questions in Part 2 is y :

16=\dfrac{2}{3}y\\\\y=24

Therefore, total number of questions on Stephanie's exam are 20 + 40 = 60.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Suppose a random sample of 50 college students are asked to measure the length of their right foot in centimeters. A 95% confide
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

A  99% confidence interval  will be wider than a 95% confidence interval

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The  95% confidence interval for for the mean foot length for students at the college is found to be 21.709 to 25.091 cm

Generally the width of a confidence interval is dependent on the margin of error.

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as  

     E =  Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \sqrt{\frac{\^ p (1- \^ p)}{n} }

From the above equation we see that

          E \ \  \alpha \ \   Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }

Here  Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }  is the critical value of the half of the level of significance and this value  increase as the confidence level increase

Now if a  99% confidence level is  used , it then means that the value of  

 Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }  will increase, this in turn will increase  the margin of error and in turn this will increase the width of the confidence interval

Hence a 99% confidence interval  will be wider than a 95% confidence interval
