Answer:

3/20

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify the fraction, write the multiples of the numerator and denominator.

15/100
=> 5 x 3/5 x 20
=> 3/20

Hence, the simplified fraction is 3/20.

Hoped this helped!

Answer:

3/20

Step-by-step explanation:

15 and 100 both have a common factor of 5. To simply an expression, you have to get both the numerator (top number) and the denominator (bottom number) to be as low as possible (to make it so that both can't be divided anymore or don't have shared factors). We divide both sides by 5 (which still retains as an integer and has the same value) and so 15/3=5 and 100/5=20.

Have a nice day! :)

The percentage of body fat of a random sample of 36 men aged 20 to 29 found a sample mean of 14.42. Find a 95% confidence interv

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

$14.42-1.96\frac{6.95}{\sqrt{36}}=12.150$

$14.42+ 1.96\frac{6.95}{\sqrt{36}}=16.690$

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (12.150;16.690)

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X=14.42$ represent the sample mean

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

$\sigma=6.95$ represent the population standard deviation

n=36 represent the sample size

Solution to the problem

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

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

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of $\alpha=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.025,0,1)".And we see that $z_{\alpha/2}=1.96$

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

$14.42-1.96\frac{6.95}{\sqrt{36}}=12.150$

$14.42+ 1.96\frac{6.95}{\sqrt{36}}=16.690$

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (12.150;16.690)

Problem 10: A tank initially contains a solution of 10 pounds of salt in 60 gallons of water. Water with 1/2 pound of salt per g

AysviL [449]

Answer:

The quantity of salt at time t is $m_{salt} = (60)\cdot (30 - 29.833\cdot e^{-\frac{t}{10} })$ , where t is measured in minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The law of mass conservation for control volume indicates that:

$\dot m_{in} - \dot m_{out} = \left(\frac{dm}{dt} \right)_{CV}$

Where mass flow is the product of salt concentration and water volume flow.

The model of the tank according to the statement is:

$(0.5\,\frac{pd}{gal} )\cdot \left(6\,\frac{gal}{min} \right) - c\cdot \left(6\,\frac{gal}{min} \right) = V\cdot \frac{dc}{dt}$

Where:

$c$ - The salt concentration in the tank, as well at the exit of the tank, measured in $\frac{pd}{gal}$ .

$\frac{dc}{dt}$ - Concentration rate of change in the tank, measured in $\frac{pd}{min}$ .

$V$ - Volume of the tank, measured in gallons.

The following first-order linear non-homogeneous differential equation is found:

$V \cdot \frac{dc}{dt} + 6\cdot c = 3$

$60\cdot \frac{dc}{dt} + 6\cdot c = 3$

$\frac{dc}{dt} + \frac{1}{10}\cdot c = 3$

This equation is solved as follows:

$e^{\frac{t}{10} }\cdot \left(\frac{dc}{dt} +\frac{1}{10} \cdot c \right) = 3 \cdot e^{\frac{t}{10} }$

$\frac{d}{dt}\left(e^{\frac{t}{10}}\cdot c\right) = 3\cdot e^{\frac{t}{10} }$

$e^{\frac{t}{10} }\cdot c = 3 \cdot \int {e^{\frac{t}{10} }} \, dt$

$e^{\frac{t}{10} }\cdot c = 30\cdot e^{\frac{t}{10} } + C$

$c = 30 + C\cdot e^{-\frac{t}{10} }$

The initial concentration in the tank is:

$c_{o} = \frac{10\,pd}{60\,gal}$

$c_{o} = 0.167\,\frac{pd}{gal}$

Now, the integration constant is:

$0.167 = 30 + C$

$C = -29.833$

The solution of the differential equation is:

$c(t) = 30 - 29.833\cdot e^{-\frac{t}{10} }$

Now, the quantity of salt at time t is:

$m_{salt} = V_{tank}\cdot c(t)$

$m_{salt} = (60)\cdot (30 - 29.833\cdot e^{-\frac{t}{10} })$

Where t is measured in minutes.
