What is 18 divided by 2/3?

pishuonlain [190]

Division is basically
x divided by y=x/y so
18 divided by 2/3= $\frac{18}{ \frac{2}{3} }$
we want the bottom number to be =1 so we multiply 2/3 by 3/2 to make it 1 (or 6/6=1), but we have to multiply the top number by 3/2 also so that we don't change the fraction and make our work useless so

$\frac{18}{ \frac{2}{3} } times \frac{ \frac{3}{2} }{ \frac{3}{2} } = \frac{ \frac{54}{2} }{ \frac{6}{6} }= \frac{27}{1}=27$

A sample of blood pressure measurements is taken for a group of adults, and those values (mm Hg) are listed below. The values

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

Systolic on right

$\hat{CV} =\frac{18.68}{127.5}=0.147$

Systolic on left

$\hat{CV} =\frac{12.65}{74.2}=0.170$

So for this case we have more variation for the data of systolic on left compared to the data systolic on right but the difference is not big since 0.170-0.147 = 0.023.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the following data:

Systolic (#'s on right) Diastolic (#'s on left)

117; 80

126; 77

158; 76

96; 51

157; 90

122; 89

116; 60

134; 64

127; 72

122; 83

The coefficient of variation is defined as " a statistical measure of the dispersion of data points in a data series around the mean" and is defined as:

$CV= \frac{\sigma}{\mu}$

And the best estimator is $\hat {CV} =\frac{s}{\bar x}$

Systolic on right

We can calculate the mean and deviation with the following formulas:

[te]\bar x = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}[/tex]

$s= \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}$

For this case we have the following values:

$\bar x = 127.5, s= 18.68$

So then the coeffcient of variation is given by:

$\hat{CV} =\frac{18.68}{127.5}=0.147$

Systolic on left

For this case we have the following values:

$\bar x = 74.2 s= 12.65$

So then the coeffcient of variation is given by:

$\hat{CV} =\frac{12.65}{74.2}=0.170$

So for this case we have more variation for the data of systolic on left compared to the data systolic on right but the difference is not big since 0.170-0.147 = 0.023.
