Answer:

<h2>6 is the Answer.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

A fraction consists of two parts the top number and the bottom one.

Think of the top number as the count and the bottom as the size indicator. So you have:

countsize indicator −−−−−−−−−−→proper names numeratordenominator

'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Consider the action example of dividing 3 into 6.

We can do this division directly because their size indicators are the same. That is, we have: 61÷31. People do not normally write it this way but it is correct.

To directly divide the counts the size indicator must be the same

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So we need to see how many of 18 will fit into 34

We can not do this directly in one operation as the size indicators are not the same.

Lets make the size indicators (denominators) the same

Multiply by 1 and you do not change the value but

1 comes in many forms.

[34×1]÷18 → [34×22]÷18

[3×24×2]÷18 → 68÷18

Now that the size indicators (denominators) are the same we can just divide the counts (numerators)

countsize indicator→[68÷18]=6÷1=6

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I could explain more showing the connection between this and the shortcut method but what I have shown you will do for now.

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

The decision rule is

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is

There no sufficient evidence to show that the proportion of salmonella in the region’s water differs from the proportion of salmonella in the region’s wildlife

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The first sample size is $n_1 = 252$

The number that tested positive is $k_1 = 18$

The second sample size is $n_2 = 476$

The number that tested positive is $k_2 = 20$

The level of significance is $\alpha = 0.01$

Generally the first sample proportion is mathematically represented as

$\^ p _1 = \frac{k_1 }{ n_1 }$

=> $\^ p _1 = \frac{18 }{ 252 }$

=> $\^ p _1 = 0.071$

Generally the second sample proportion is mathematically represented as

$\^ p _2 = \frac{k_2 }{ n_2 }$

=> $\^ p _2 = \frac{20 }{ 476}$

=> $\^ p _2 = 0.042$

The null hypothesis is $H_o : p_1 - p_2 = 0$

The alternative hypothesis is $H_a : p_1 - p_2 \ne 0$

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented

$z = \frac{ \^ p_1 - \^ p_2 - ( p_ 1 - p_2 )}{ \sqrt{\frac{\^ p_1 (1-\^ p_1)}{ n_1 } + \frac{\^ p_2 (1-\^ p_2)}{ n_2 } } }$

=> $z = \frac{ 0.071 - 0.042 - 0 }{ \sqrt{\frac{0.071 (1-0.071)}{ 252 } + \frac{0.042 (1-\^ 0.042)}{ 476 } } }$

=> $z = 1.56$

From the z table the area under the normal curve to the right corresponding to 1.56 is

$P(Z > 1.56 ) =0.05938$

Generally the p-value is mathematically represented as

$p-value = 2 * P(Z > 1.56 )$

=> $p-value = 2 * 0.05938$

=> $p-value = 0.1188$

From the value obtained we see that $p-value > \alpha$ hence

The decision rule is

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is

There no sufficient evidence to show that the proportion of salmonella in the region’s water differs from the proportion of salmonella in the region’s wildlife

An Airbus has 1 first class section, 1 business-class section and 4 economy-class sections. The first class section has 14 seats

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

first class section has 14 Seats

Seat used = (5/7) * 14 = 10 Seats

Business class Section has 64 Seats

Seats used = (5/16) * 64 = 20 Seats

Economy class Section has 4 * 108 = 432 Seats

Seats used = (5/9) * 432 = 240 Seats

Total Seats = 14 + 64 + 432 = 510

Total Seats Used = 10 + 20 + 240 = 270

270/510 = 270 ( 2 * 255) > 1/2

Yes , more than half of the seats being used

Josiah has 3 packs of toy animals. eac pack has the same number of animals. josiah gives 6 animals to his sister stephanie. then

Nataliya [291]

To determine the number of animals in each pack, we need to understand each statement in the problem since these are key to obtaining the correct answer.

number of packs = 3
number of animals given to sister = 6
number of animals left = 9
total number of animals = 6+9 = 15

It is said the in each pack there is an equal number of animals. Therefore,

Number of animals per pack = 15 / 3 = 5 animals
