Answer:

(i) The student who weighed the rock 20 times.

Step-by-step explanation:

The margin of error of a confidence interval is:

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which z is related to the confidence level, \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

From the equation above, the larger the size of the sample, the lower the margin is, that is, the narrower the interval is.

In this question:

A student weighed the rock 20 times and other the 5. From above, the one who weighed the rock 20 times will have the more precise interval.

So the correct answer is:

(i) The student who weighed the rock 20 times.

Baker made 5 pounds of icing. He used 4/9 of the icing to decorate. How much did he have left over?
Elena L [17]
If the baker made 5 pounds of icing and used 4/9 of the icing to make decorations, then he used:

5 * 4/9 =
= 20/9 =
= 2 2/9 [of icing]

To find out how much he has left over, we just need to substract 2 2/9 from 5:

5 - 2 2/9 =
= 3 - 2/9 =
= 2 7/9

Answer: The baker has <u>2 7/9</u> of the icing left.

3 3/5 + 9 3/5 answer with a mixed number in simplest form
Romashka [77]

Both fractions have the same denominator so it's going to be easy. First set up your equation:

3 \frac{3}{5} + 9 \frac{3}{5}

Add the whole numbers:

3 + 9 = 12

Now add the fractions:

\frac{3}{5} + \frac{3}{5} = \frac{6}{5}

add both together:

12 + \frac{6}{5} = 12 \frac{6}{5}

\frac{6}{5} is an improper fraction so change it:

12 \frac{6}{5} = 13 \frac{1}{5}

Since 6 is one more than 5, add 1 to the whole number and subtract the numerator and denominator(6 - 5 = 1) and make the remaining the new numerator. That leaves you with 13 \frac{1}{5}

Your answer is 13 \frac{1}{5}
