Step-by-step answer:
Answer to problems of this kind is the reciprocal of the harmonic mean of the time required.
We need to find the average of the speeds, not the average of the time.
The respective speeds are 1/3 and 1/4.
The average of the speeds is therefore (1/3+1/4)/2 = 7/24 (harmonic mean of the time taken).
The time required is therefore the reciprocal of the unit speed,
T = 1/(7/24) = 24/7 = 3 3/7 minutes, or approximately 3.43 minutes.
Answer:
Subtract 2 from both sides.
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember to do the opposite of PEMDAS. PEMDAS is the order of operation, and stands for:
Parenthesis
Exponents (& Roots)
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction
> Also, note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other side of the equation.
First step is to subtract 2 from both sides of the equation:
3x + 2 (-2) = 29 (-2)
3x = 29 - 2
3x = 27
The second step is to divide 3 from both sides of the equation:
(3x)/3 = (27)/3
x = 27/3
x = 9

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Confidence interval for the difference in the two proportions is written as
Difference in sample proportions ± margin of error
Sample proportion, p= x/n
Where x = number of success
n = number of samples
For the men,
x = 318
n1 = 520
p1 = 318/520 = 0.61
For the women
x = 379
n2 = 460
p2 = 379/460 = 0.82
Margin of error = z√[p1(1 - p1)/n1 + p2(1 - p2)/n2]
To determine the z score, we subtract the confidence level from 100% to get α
α = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05
α/2 = 0.05/2 = 0.025
This is the area in each tail. Since we want the area in the middle, it becomes
1 - 0.025 = 0.975
The z score corresponding to the area on the z table is 1.96. Thus, confidence level of 95% is 1.96
Margin of error = 1.96 × √[0.61(1 - 0.61)/520 + 0.82(1 - 0.82)/460]
= 1.96 × √0.0004575 + 0.00032086957)
= 0.055
Confidence interval = 0.61 - 0.82 ± 0.055
= - 0.21 ± 0.055
