Step-by-step explanation:

234Suppose you have a bag with 50 letter tiles in it and 23 of the tiles are the letter Y. If

you pick a letter tile at random from the bag, the probability that it is the letter Y is Suppose

another bag has 200 letter tiles in it and 172 of the tiles are the letter Y. Write the probability of

picking a tile that is the letter Y as a fraction and as a percent. From which bag are you more likely

to pick a tile that is the letter Y?

Answer: simple random sampling

Step-by-step explanation:

A simple random sampling is a sampling method in which individuals are chosen randomly from the population. In this each individual has equal chances to get selected.

If N is the population size , then for any individual , the chances for getting selected is $\dfrac{1}{N}$ .

As per given , the company randomly selects 50 customers directly from the database without applying any further steps and asks them about their level of satisfaction with the company.

Thus , the sampling technique used here is simple random sampling.

COMPUTE 3 ( 2 1/2 - 1 ) + 3/10

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

<h3> $\boxed{ \frac{24}{5} }$ </h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

$\mathsf{3(2 \frac{1}{2} - 1) + \frac{3}{10} }$

Convert mixed number to improper fraction

$\mathrm{3( \frac{5}{2} - 1) + \frac{3}{10} }$

Calculate the difference

⇒ $\mathrm{3( \frac{5 \times 1}{2 \times 1} - \frac{1 \times 2}{1 \times 2} }) + \frac{3}{10}$

⇒ $\mathrm{ 3 \times( \frac{5}{2} - \frac{2}{2}) } + \frac{3}{10}$

⇒ $\mathrm{3 \times ( \frac{5 - 2}{2} ) + \frac{3}{10} }$

⇒ $\mathrm{3 \times \frac{3}{2} + \frac{3}{10} }$

Calculate the product

⇒ $\mathrm{ \frac{3 \times 3}{1 \times 2} + \frac{3}{10} }$

⇒ $\mathrm{ \frac{9}{2} + \frac{3}{10}}$

Add the fractions

⇒ $\mathsf{ \frac{9 \times 5}{2 \times 5} + \frac{3 \times 1}{10 \times 1} }$

⇒ $\mathrm{ \frac{45}{10} + \frac{3}{10} }$

⇒ $\mathrm{ \frac{45 + 3}{10 } }$

⇒ $\mathrm{ \frac{48}{10} }$

Reduce the numerator and denominator by 2

⇒ $\mathrm{ \frac{24}{5} }$

Further more explanation:

Addition and Subtraction of like fractions

While performing the addition and subtraction of like fractions, you just have to add or subtract the numerator respectively in which the denominator is retained same.

For example :

Add : $\mathsf{ \frac{1}{5} + \frac{3}{5} = \frac{1 + 3}{5} } = \frac{4}{5}$

Subtract : $\mathsf{ \frac{5}{7} - \frac{4}{7} = \frac{5 - 4}{7} = \frac{3}{7} }$

So, sum of like fractions : $\mathsf{ = \frac{sum \: of \: their \: number}{common \: denominator} }$

Difference of like fractions : $\mathsf{ \frac{difference \: of \: their \: numerator}{common \: denominator} }$

Addition and subtraction of unlike fractions

While performing the addition and subtraction of unlike fractions, you have to express the given fractions into equivalent fractions of common denominator and add or subtract as we do with like fractions. Thus, obtained fractions should be reduced into lowest terms if there are any common on numerator and denominator.

For example:

$\mathsf{add \: \frac{1}{2} \: and \: \frac{1}{3} }$

L.C.M of 2 and 3 = 6

So, ⇒ $\mathsf{ \frac{1 \times 3}{2 \times 3} + \frac{1 \times 2}{3 \times 2} }$

⇒ $\mathsf{ \frac{3}{6} + \frac{2}{6} }$

⇒ $\frac{5}{6}$

Multiplication of fractions

To multiply one fraction by another, multiply the numerators for the numerator and multiply the denominators for its denominator and reduce the fraction obtained after multiplication into lowest term.

When any number or fraction is divided by a fraction, we multiply the dividend by reciprocal of the divisor. Let's consider a multiplication of a whole number by a fraction:

$\mathsf{4 \times \frac{3}{2} = \frac{4 \times 3}{2} = \frac{12}{2} = 6}$

Multiplication for $\mathsf{ \frac{6}{5} \: and \: \frac{25}{3} }$ is done by the similar process

$\mathsf{ = \frac{6}{5} \times \frac{25}{3} = 2 \times 5 \times 10}$

Hope I helped!

Best regards!

Liam says - (5/12) is equivalent to 5/-12. Explain if Liam is correct by completing the statements below.

makkiz [27]

A positive number divided by a positive number results in a negative quotient, and it's opposite is always positive. The fraction 5/-12 can be described as a positive number divided by a negative number, which always results in a negative quotient. The fractions have different value, so Liam is not correct.

enyata [817]

First convert 7.5% into a decimal (.075)
1,150 * .075 = 86.25
1,150 + 86.25 = 1,236.25
