PLEASE help me with this question! This is URGENT!

Answer:

\frac{1}{3x+52}

Step-by-step explanation:

We begin with the expression

\frac{\frac{1}{x^2+51x+50} }{\frac{2}{x+50}+\frac{1}{x+1} }

First, we can split this into the product of two fractions

\frac{1}{x^2+51x+50} *(\frac{1}{\frac{2}{x+50}+\frac{1}{x+1}} )

Now, we can factor the denominator of the first fraction.

\frac{1}{(x+1)(x+50)} *(\frac{1}{\frac{2}{x+50}+\frac{1}{x+1}} )

Next, we need to create a common denominator for the second fraction

\frac{2}{x+50}+\frac{1}{x+1}\\\\\frac{2}{x+50}*\frac{x+1}{x+1} +\frac{1}{x+1}*\frac{x+50}{x+50} \\\\\frac{2x+2}{(x+1)(x+50)} + \frac{x+50}{(x+1)(x+50)}\\\\ \frac{3x+52}{(x+1)(x+50)}

Now to return this portion to the denominator of the second fraction.

\frac{1}{(x+1)(x+50)} *(\frac{1}{\frac{3x+52}{(x+1)(x+50)} } )

Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying as the reciprocal of the fraction, so the second fraction becomes

\frac{1}{(x+1)(x+50)} *\frac{(x+1)(x+50)}{3x+52}

Now to reduce this expression by canceling out (x+1)(x+5)

\frac{(x+1)(x+50)}{(x+1)(x+50)(3x+52)}\\\\\frac{1}{3x+52}

In the United States, 36 percent of the people have a blood type that is A positive. From a random sample of 150 people from Nor
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

The standard deviation used in the test statistic is 0.04.

Step-by-step explanation:

A single proportion <em>z</em>-test can be used to determine whether the proportion of people in Norway with a blood type of A positive is different from that in the United States.

The proportion of people in Norway with a blood type of A positive is 36% or 0.36.

The hypothesis can be defined as:

<em>H₀</em>: The proportion of people in Norway with a blood type of A positive is 36%, i.e. <em>p</em> = 0.36.

<em>Hₐ</em>: The proportion of people in Norway with a blood type of A positive is different from 36%, i.e. <em>p</em> ≠ 0.36.

The test statistic is:

z=\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}}

The information provided is:

<em>p</em> = 0.36

<em>n</em>  = 150

Compute the standard deviation used in the test statistic as follows:

\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}

   =\sqrt{\frac{0.36\times (1-0.36)}{150}}

   =\sqrt{0.001536}\\=0.03919184\\\approx 0.04

Thus, the standard deviation used in the test statistic is 0.04.
