Answer:

In mathematics, a ratio indicates how many times one number contains another. For example, if there are eight oranges and six lemons in a bowl of fruit, then the ratio of oranges to lemons is eight to six. Similarly, the ratio of lemons to oranges is 6∶8 and the ratio of oranges to the total amount of fruit is 8∶14.

Step-by-step explanation:

the quantitative relation between two amounts showing the number of times one value contains or is contained within the other.

The area of a rectangle is 3/8 in and the length is 5/8 What is the width?

liberstina [14]

Answer:

The width W is :

$W=\frac{3}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the area of the rectangle

Let L be the length of the rectangle

Let W be the width of the rectangle

______

Formula:

A = L × W

__________

$\begin{aligned}A &=L \times W \\\Rightarrow W &=\frac{A}{L} \\\Rightarrow W &=\frac{\frac{3}{8}}{\frac{5}{8}} \\&=\frac{3}{8} \times \frac{8}{5} \\&=\frac{3 \times 8}{8 \times 5} \\&=\frac{3}{5}\end{aligned}$

A group of statistics students decided to conduct a survey at their university to find the average (mean) amount of time student

Butoxors [25]

Answer: $(21.541,\ 23.059)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval for population mean is given by :-

$\overline{x}\pm z_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

Given : Sample size : $n=240$ , which is a large sample , so we apply z-test .

Sample mean : $\overline{x}=22.3$

Standard deviation : $\sigma= 6$

Significance level : $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$

Critical value : $z_{\alpha/2}=1.960$

Now, a confidence interval at the 95% level of confidence will be :-

$22.3\pm(1.960)\dfrac{6}{\sqrt{240}}\\\\\approx22.3\pm0.759\\\\=(22.3-0.759,\ 22.3+0.759)\\\\=(21.541,\ 23.059)$

How do you solve interquartile range?

77julia77 [94]

By Hand
Step 1:
Put the numbers in order.
1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 9, 12, 15, 18, 19, 27.

Step 2:
Find the median.
1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 9, 12, 15, 18, 19, 27.

Step 3:
Place parentheses around the numbers above and below the median.
Not necessary statistically, but it makes Q1 and Q3 easier to spot.
(1, 2, 5, 6, 7), 9, (12, 15, 18, 19, 27).

Step 4:
Find Q1 and Q3
Think of Q1 as a median in the lower half of the data and think of Q3 as a median for the upper half of data.
(1, 2, 5, 6, 7), 9, ( 12, 15, 18, 19, 27). Q1 = 5 and Q3 = 18.

Step 5:
Subtract Q1 from Q3 to find the interquartile range.
18 – 5 = 13.
