Answer:

The answer is 3 1/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

-There are 2 simple ways to do this.

-The first is just subtracting 3/4 and 1/4 which equals 2/4 or 1/2.

-The second way is to turn it into an improper fraction.

-(5*4)+3=23 and (2*4)+1=9.

-23/4-9/4=14/4

-14/4=3 1/2

Answer:

3 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

5 3/4 - 2 1/4

First subtract the whole numbers of the two mixed fractions, so:

= 5 - 2

= 3

Now, combine the leftover fractions:

= 3/4 - 1/4

= 2/4

= 1/4

Lastly, put the whole number and fraction together:

= 3 1/4

According to Scarborough Research, more than 85% of working adults commute by car. Of all U.S. cities, Washington, D.C., and New
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval for the mean commute time of all commuters in Washington D.C. area is (22.35, 33.59).

Step-by-step explanation:

The (1 - <em>α</em>) % confidence interval for population mean (<em>μ</em>) is:

CI=\bar x\pm z_{\alpha /2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Here the population standard deviation (σ) is not provided. So the confidence interval would be computed using the <em>t</em>-distribution.

The (1 - <em>α</em>) % confidence interval for population mean (<em>μ</em>) using the <em>t</em>-distribution is:

CI=\bar x\pm t_{\alpha /2,(n-1)}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

Given:

\bar x=27.97\\s=10.04\\n=25\\t_{\alpha /2, (n-1)}=t_{0.01/2, (25-1)}=t_{0.005, 24}=2.797

*Use the <em>t</em>-table for the critical value.

Compute the 99% confidence interval as follows:

CI=27.97\pm 2.797\times\frac{10.04}{\sqrt{25}}\\=27.97\pm5.616\\=(22.354, 33.586)\\\approx(22.35, 33.59)

Thus, the 99% confidence interval for the mean commute time of all commuters in Washington D.C. area is (22.35, 33.59).
