Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Example 1: Changing the whole number 5 into a fraction.

Take the whole number (5), add a line below it (/), then add a 1 to the denominator.

5 = 5/1

Example 2: Changing the whole number 5 into a fraction.

Take the whole number (5), multiply it by 2 add a line below it (/), then add a 2 to the denominator.

5 = (5*2)/2 = 10/2

***This can be reduced to 5/1***

Example 3: Changing the whole number 5 into a fraction.

Take the whole number (5), multiply it by 3 add a line below it (/), then add a 3 to the denominator.

5 = (5*3)/3 = 15/3

***This can also be reduced to 5/1***

If you follow the pattern, you will realize all whole numbers are fractions already.

They are fractions with a denominator of 1. This fraction can be manipulated with all of the same standard rules you would traditionally use with fractions, even when the denominator isn’t shown.

A fraction is simply a way to describe portions of a whole. The denominator simply tells you how many pieces to break the whole into. When the denominator is 1, you are breaking the whole into one piece (or not breaking it apart at all.

I hope this helps.

Answer:

-5, -6, -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Integers represent whole numbers either positive, negative, or neutral (0). Since the equation marks all numbers that are less than -4; -5, -6,-7, all fit in that category.

News article reports that "Americans have differing views on two potentially inconvenient and invasive practices that airports c

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

1) p1=0.83

2) p2=0.81

3) Option B

4) p=0.82

5) s=0.03

6) z=0.67

7) P=0.50

8) Do not reject H0

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The proportion of Republicans who think the full-body scans should be applied in airports is equal to the ratio between the republicans that think it should over the total Republicans in the poll:

$p=X/n=258/311=0.83$

2) The proportion of Democrats who think the full-body scans should be applied in airports is equal to:

$p=X/n=294/363=0.81$

3) As we want to know if there is a difference in the proportions calculated, not if one is higher or lower than the other, the correct option is B:

$H_0:p_1-p_2=0\\\\H_a:p_1-p_2\neq0$

4) The pooled estimate of a proportion is the average of both proportions:

$\bar{p}=\frac{p_1+p_2}{2}= \frac{0.83+0.81}{2}=0.82$

5) The standard error can be calculated as:

$s=\sqrt{\frac{\bar{p}(1-\bar{p})}{n_1} +\frac{\bar{p}(1-\bar{p})}{n_2}} \\\\s=\sqrt{\frac{0.82*0.18}{311} +\frac{0.82*0.18}{363}} \\\\s=\sqrt{0.00047+0.00041} =\sqrt{0.00088}=0.03$

6) The z-statistic can be calculated as:

$z=\frac{p_1-p_2}{s}=\frac{0.83-0.81}{0.03}=\frac{0.02}{0.03}=0.67$

7) The P-value for z=0.67 is P=0.50 (from the standard normal distribution table).

$2P(Z>|z|)=0.50286$

8) If the significance level is 0.01, the P-value is bigger than the significance level. The effect is not significanct. The null hypothesis is not rejected.

There is not enough evidence to say that both proportions are different.

Two way Frequency table question

lapo4ka [179]

Answer: choice A

---------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Work Shown:

P(TV) = (number who watch tv)/(number total)
P(TV) = 30/100
P(TV) = 0.30

P(Girl) = (number of girls)/(number total)
P(Girl) = 55/100
P(Girl) = 0.55

P(TV)*P(Girl) = 0.30*0.55 = 0.165 which rounds to 0.17
We'll use this value later. So let's call this M = 0.17

Look in the "girl" row and "tv" column. The value 17 is here.
This is out of 100 people total, so
P(TV and Girl) = 17/100 = 0.17
Call this value N = 0.17

Because M = N = 0.17 approximately, this means that the two variables "TV" and "Girl" are approximately independent

So the equation P(TV and Girl) = P(TV)*P(Girl) is approximately true in this example.

This points to choice A being the answer.
