Before you do the steps, change the fractions given to improper fractions:
2 2/3 = 8/3
3 1/6 = 19/6
Now, I think the first step they want you to write is:
8/3 (divided by) 19/6
When you divide two fractions, it's the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. (A reciprocal is a fancy way of saying you flip the fraction)
So the next step will look like this:
8/3 x 6/19
With this setup, you can cross simplify the fractions so that they look like this:
8/1 x 2/19
When you multiply this, you get 16/19

Answer:
75
Step-by-step explanation:
For this, you need to solve a proportion-
3.4 x
----- = -----
1.8 39.75
3.4*39.75=135.15
135.15/1.8= 75.0833.....
75.0833.. is rounded to 75
Complete question :
Two researchers, Jaime and Mariya, are each constructing confidence intervals for the proportion of a population who is left-handed. They find the point estimate is 0.13. Each independently constructed a confidence interval based on the point estimate, but Jaime’s interval has a lower bound of 0.097 and an upper bound of 0.163, while Mariya’s interval has a lower bound of 0.117 and an upper bound of 0.173. Which interval is wrong? Why?
Answer:
Mariya's interval
Step-by-step explanation:
Point estimate = 0.13
Mariya's confidence interval :
Lower boundary = 0.117
Upper boundary = 0.173
Jamie's confidence interval :
Lower boundary = 0.097
Upper boundary = 0.163
The correct confidence interval should have an average value equal to the value of the point estimate ;
Jamie's confidence interval average :
(0.097 + 0.163) / 2 = 0.26 / 2 = 0.13
Mariya's confidence interval average :
(0.117 + 0.173) / 2 = 0.29 / 2 = 0.145
Based on the confidence interval average obtained we can conclude that Mariya's interval is wrong as it the average obtained is greater than the point estimate.
0.145 > 0.13
Answer:
y=2+0.75x
Step-by-step explanation:
3x-4y=-8
first, subtract 3x from both sides
-4y=-8-3x
now divide by -4
y=2+0.75x
