Step-by-step explanation:

always try to bring fractions you need to compare to the same denominator (bottom number).

we have 9/10 of the pizza left.

then 4/5 if the pizza are eaten.

how to compare 9/10 with 4/5 ?

by bringing 4/5 also to a fraction of 10ths.

what do I need to multiply 5 with to get 10 ?

right, 2.

since we don't want to change the overall value of the original fraction, we need to multiply both levels (numerator and denominator) by that same factor :

4/5 × 2/2 = 8/10

aha !

that we can compare with 9/10.

so, when Lucas ate 4/5 (= 8/10) of the pizza, when there was originally 9/10 left, then we have 1/10 of the pizza left.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find equation

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y + 9 = -5(x - 2)

y = -5x + 10 - 9

y = -5x + 1 → Equaton

In a recent study of 42 eighth graders, the mean number of hours per week that they watched television was 19.6. Assume the popu

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

$19.6-2.42\frac{5.8}{\sqrt{42}}=17.43$

$19.6+2.42\frac{5.8}{\sqrt{42}}=21.77$

And the best option for this case would be:

a. (17.5, 21.7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

$\bar X= 19.6$ represent the sample mean

$\mu$ population mean

$\sigma= 5.8$ represent the population deviation

n=42 represent the sample size

Confidence interval

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

The degrees of freedom, given by:

$df=n-1=42-1=41$

Since the Confidence is 0.98 or 98%, the significance would be $\alpha=0.02$ and $\alpha/2 =0.1$ , and the critical value would be $t_{\alpha/2}=2.42$
