The key word ''in all'' means total so this calls for addition so we need to add all fractions first to get our answer.

First we need to add all whole numbers
next we need to find the LCD of all fractions which is 4
next we change the denominators into the LCD (4)
next we join them all together so now it will be 3 + 2 + 3 + 1 + 3 + 2 over 4
since 2 + 3 + 1 + 3 + 2 equals 11 we simplify it to 3 + 11/4
now we make 11/4 to a mixed fraction which is 2 3/4
now we add 3 + 2 to make 5 and keep the fraction

Answer: Joanna bought 5 3/4 pounds of fruit in all.

The correct answer is 5.75 (5 3/4) pounds of fruit
1 1/2 +3/4 +1/2 + 1 3/4+ 1 1/4= 5 3/4

Part A: Find a rational number that is between 7.7 and 7.9. Explain why it is rational. (2 points)
8_murik_8 [283]
A rational number is any number that can be written as the ratio between two other numbers i.e. in the form \frac{a}{b}

Part A:
An easy choice that makes sense is 7.8, right in the middle. To prove that it's rational we need to write it as a ratio. In this case we have 7.8=\frac{78}{10}

Part B:
We need a number that can't be written as a ratio (because it neither terminates nor repeats). Some common ones are \sqrt{2}, e, \phi and \pi so it makes sense to try and use those to build our number. In this case \frac{11\sqrt{2}}{5}\approx7.78 works nicely.

Which of the following scenarios MUST represent two independent events?
egoroff_w [7]

Answer: C) P(blue) = 70%, P(green) = 30%, P(blue and green) = 21%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given probabilities P(A) AND P(B) are independent, the probability that both events to occur is given by:

P(A)∩P(B)

thus from the example, independent events will be:

P(blue)=70%, P(green)=30%, P(blue and green)=21%

Because:

P(blue)∩P(green)=0.7×0.3=0.21=21%

The data set represents a progression of hourly temperature measurements.Use the regression equation to predict the temperature
zimovet [89]
I will attach google sheet that I used to find regression equation.
We can see that linear fit does work, but the polynomial fit is much better.
We can see that R squared for polynomial fit is higher than R squared for the linear fit. This tells us that polynomials fit approximates our dataset better.
This is the polynomial fit equation:
T(h)=20.2-3.6h-0.875h^2
I used h to denote hours. Our prediction of temperature for the sixth hour would be:
T(6)=20.2-3.6(6)-0.875(6)^2=-32.9
Here is a link to the spreadsheet  (<span>https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17awPz5U8Kr-ZnAAtastV-bnvoKG5zZyL3rRFC9JqVjM/edit?usp=sharing)</span>
