Answer:

-7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{ - 3 \times 8}{6 \times 8} + \frac{ - 3 \times 6}{8 \times 6} = \frac{ - 24 - 18}{48} = \frac{ - 42}{48}$

$= \frac{ - 7}{8}$

Answer:

-7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the lowest common multiple of both 8 and 6.

Multiples of 6: 6, 12, 18, 24

Multiples of 8: 8, 16, 24

The LCM of 6 and 8 is 24.

Now multiply both the numerator and denominator of both fractions so that both denominators equal 24.

-3/6

Take both the numerator and denominator and multiply them by 4.

-12/24.

-3/8

Take both the numerator and denominator and multiply them by 3.

-9/24.

Now we have two fractions, -12/24 and -9/24.

The question tells us to add these fractions, so add the numerators and get

(-12) + (-9) = -21.

Finally, simplify the final fraction.

-21/24

Divide both the numerator and denominator by 3.

-7/8

Your answer is B. -7/8.

If the circle below is cut from the square of plywood below, how many square inches of plywood would be left over?

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

$= area \: of \: square - area \: of \: circle \\ = (s \times s) - (\pi {r}^{2} ) \\ = (24 \times 24) - (3.14 \times ( { \frac{24}{2} })^{2}) \\ \\ = 576 - 452.16 \\ = 123.84 \: square \: inches$

Assume that the helium porosity (in percentage) of coal samples taken from any particular seam is normally distributed with true

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

(a) 95% confidence interval for the true average porosity of a certain seam is [4.52 , 5.18].

(b) 98% confidence interval for the true average porosity of a another seam is [4.12 , 4.99].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the helium porosity (in percentage) of coal samples taken from any particular seam is normally distributed with true standard deviation 0.75.

(a) Also, the average porosity for 20 specimens from the seam was 4.85.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for 95% confidence interval for the population mean is given by;

P.Q. = $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\bar X$ = sample average porosity = 4.85

$\sigma$ = population standard deviation = 0.75

n = sample of specimens = 20

$\mu$ = true average porosity

Here for constructing 95% confidence interval we have used One-sample z test statistics as we know about population standard deviation.

So, 95% confidence interval for the true mean, $\mu$ is ;

P(-1.96 < N(0,1) < 1.96) = 0.95 {As the critical value of z at 2.5% level

of significance are -1.96 & 1.96}

P(-1.96 < $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < 1.96) = 0.95

P( $-1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < ${\bar X-\mu}$ < $1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ) = 0.95

P( $\bar X-1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < $\mu$ < $\bar X+1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ) = 0.95

95% confidence interval for $\mu$ = [ $\bar X-1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ , $\bar X+1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ]

= [ $4.85-1.96 \times {\frac{0.75}{\sqrt{20} } }$ , $4.85+1.96 \times {\frac{0.75}{\sqrt{20} } }$ ]

= [4.52 , 5.18]

Therefore, 95% confidence interval for the true average porosity of a certain seam is [4.52 , 5.18].

(b) Now, there is another seam based on 16 specimens with a sample average porosity of 4.56.

The pivotal quantity for 98% confidence interval for the population mean is given by;

P.Q. = $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\bar X$ = sample average porosity = 4.56

$\sigma$ = population standard deviation = 0.75

n = sample of specimens = 16

$\mu$ = true average porosity

Here for constructing 98% confidence interval we have used One-sample z test statistics as we know about population standard deviation.

So, 98% confidence interval for the true mean, $\mu$ is ;

P(-2.3263 < N(0,1) < 2.3263) = 0.98 {As the critical value of z at 1% level

of significance are -2.3263 & 2.3263}

P(-2.3263 < $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < 2.3263) = 0.98

P( $-2.3263 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < ${\bar X-\mu}$ < $2.3263$ ) = 0.98

P( $\bar X-2.3263 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < $\mu$ < $\bar X+2.3263 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ) = 0.98

98% confidence interval for $\mu$ = [ $\bar X-2.3263 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ , $\bar X+2.3263 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ]

= [ $4.56-2.3263 \times {\frac{0.75}{\sqrt{16} } }$ , $4.56+2.3263 \times {\frac{0.75}{\sqrt{16} } }$ ]

= [4.12 , 4.99]

Therefore, 98% confidence interval for the true average porosity of a another seam is [4.12 , 4.99].
