What does it mean to divide a number by
a fraction (e.g., ¾)?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: You can divide a number by a fraction by flipping over the fraction and multiplying them together.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example:

Lets say we wanted to divide 8 by 3/4

8÷[tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Change the division symbol into multiplication, and flip over the fraction (a great way to remember doing this is to remember the phrase Copy Dot Flip - Copy the first digit as it is, put a dot for multiplication, and then flip the fraction over)

8 ·[tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex]

Now, just multiply and reduce/simplify the fraction if needed

Final answer is [tex]\frac{32}{3}[/tex], no need to simplify or reduce

Hope that helps!!

diver above the water (in meters), 1 seconds after

the diver leaves the springboard. Which of these

statements is true?

(А)

After 1 second, the diver will be 3 feet above

the water.

B

After 5 seconds, the diver will be 25 feet above

the water.

С

After 1 second, the diver will be 8 feet above

the water.

D

After 5 seconds, the diver will be 78 feet above

the water.

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is (c).

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of a diver abov the water is given by :

[tex]h(t) = -5t^2 + 10t + 3[/tex] ....(1)

Where h(t) is in meters and t is in seconds

Put t = 1 s, in equation (1) we get :

[tex]h(1) = -5(1)^2 + 10(1) + 3\\\\=8\ \text{feet}[/tex]

Put t = 5 s, in equation (1) we get :

[tex]h(1) = -5(5)^2 + 10(5) + 3\\\\=-72\ \text{feet}[/tex]

Out of the given options, "after 1 second, the diver will be 8 feet above  the water is (c)". Hence, the correct option is (c).

Answers

Answer:

a

The confidence interval for the population variance is ​[tex] 5.49 < \sigma^2 < 37.02 [/tex]  

The correct option is  C

b

The confidence interval for the population standard deviation is [tex] 2.34 < \sigma < 6.08 [/tex]

The correct option is  A

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The sample size is  n =  14

    The standard deviation is  [tex]s = \$3.42[/tex]

Generally the degree of freedom is mathematically represented as

     [tex]df =  14 -1[/tex]

=>   [tex]df =  13 [/tex]    

Given that the confidence level is  98%  then that level of significance is  

     [tex]\alpha = (100 -98) \%[/tex]

=>  [tex]\alpha = 0.02[/tex]

Generally the 98% confidence interval for the variance  is mathematically represented as

     [tex]\frac{(n- 1) s^2}{x^2 _{[\frac{\alpha }{2} , df]}}  < \sigma^2 < \frac{(n- 1) s^2}{x^2 _{[1- \frac{\alpha }{2} , df]}}[/tex]

=> [tex]\frac{(14- 1) (3.42)^2}{x^2 _{[\frac{0.02 }{2} , 13]}}  < \sigma^2 < \frac{(14- 1) (3.42)^2}{x^2 _{[1- \frac{0.02 }{2} , 13]}}[/tex]

From the chi -distribution table  

     [tex]x^2 _{[1- \frac{0.02 }{2} , 13]} = 4.107[/tex]

and

    [tex]x^2 _{[\frac{0.02 }{2} , 13]} = 27.689[/tex]

So

=> [tex]\frac{(14- 1) (3.42)^2}{27.689}  < \sigma^2 < \frac{(14- 1) (3.42)^2}{4.107}[/tex]    

=> [tex] 5.49 < \sigma^2 < 37.02 [/tex]    

Generally the 98% confidence interval for the standard deviation   is mathematically represented as

   [tex]\sqrt{\frac{(n- 1) s^2}{x^2 _{[\frac{\alpha }{2} , df]}}}   < \sigma <\sqrt{ \frac{(n- 1) s^2}{x^2 _{[1- \frac{\alpha }{2} , df]}}}[/tex]

=> [tex]\sqrt{5.49}  < \sigma < \sqrt{37.02 }[/tex]

=> [tex] 2.34 < \sigma < 6.08 [/tex]

Answer:

D

or

It is shifted 2 units up and 2 units right.

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph of  y = sec(x) is shifted 2 units up and 2 units right.

What is Graph?

Graph is a mathematical representation of a network and it describes the relationship between lines and points.

The given graph is  y = sec(x)

After transformation it is y = sec(x - 2) + 2

We need to find the transformation applied to y=secx to get  y = sec(x - 2) + 2.

Graph transformation is the process by which an existing graph, or graphed equation, is modified to produce a variation of the proceeding graph.

y=f(x-a) is the same graph shifted 'a' units to the right. If 'a' is negative, then, the graph is shifted to the left.

y = f(x) - a is the same graph, but shifted 'a' units downwards. If 'a' is negative, then the graph will be shifted upwards.

In this case, our main function is y=sec(x). And the function y= sec(x-2)+2 is shifted two units to the right and 2 units upwards.

Hence, the graph of  y = sec(x) is shifted 2 units up and 2 units right.

The changes in housing prices over short time periods are in part determined by supply and demand. A real estate company in Minnesota projected an increase in its average selling prices of homes in the first quarter of 2014 over the mean 2013 selling price of $201,800. The reason for the projection was an increase in demand due to business expansion and the subsequent increase in labor. To investigate the accuracy of the projection, a sample of homes in the first quarter of 2014 was selected and the following selling prices (in $) recorded:

235,000 271,900 183,300 203,000 182,900 225,500 189,000 214,200 237,900 233,500 217,000 230,400 202,950, 216,500 209,900, 245,500

a. At 5% level of significance, is there sufficient evidence to support the real estate company's projection?
b. Which statistical distribution should be applied in this situation and why? Explain carefully.
c. Discuss the consequences of Type I and Type II errors in terms of the problem.
d. Does the management at the real estate company want a small or large value of the significance level? Explain carefully.
e. Based on a 95% confidence level, estimate the actual average selling price homes in the first quarter of 2014.

Answers

Answer:

The data given is

  The sample size is  n =  16

   The population is  [tex]\mu  =  \$201,800[/tex]

  The sample mean is mathematically represented as

             [tex]\= x =\frac{\sum x_i}{n}[/tex]

=>  [tex]\= x  =\frac{235,000 + 271,900 + \cdots + 245,500 }{16}[/tex]

=>    [tex]\= x  = 218653.125[/tex]

Generally the sample standard deviation is mathematically represented as

     [tex]s =  \sqrt{\frac{\sum (x_i - \= x)^2}{n} }[/tex]

=>   [tex]s =  \sqrt{\frac{ (235,000 -  218653.125)^2+ (271,900 -  218653.125)^2 + \cdots +  (245,500 -  218653.125)^2}{16} }[/tex]

=>   [tex]s =  23946.896 [/tex]

The null hypothesis is  [tex]H_o : \mu =  \$201,800[/tex]

The alternatively hypothesis is  [tex]H_o : \mu >  \$201,800 [/tex]

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

     [tex]t =  \frac{\= x  - \mu }{ \frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]

=>  [tex]t =  \frac{218653.125  - 201800 }{ \frac{23946.896 }{\sqrt{16} } }[/tex]

=>  [tex]t =  2.82[/tex]

Generally the degree of freedom is mathematically represented as

     [tex]df =  n - 1[/tex]

=>   [tex]df =  16 - 1[/tex]

=>   [tex]df =  15[/tex]

Generally the probability of  [tex]t =  2.82[/tex] at a degree of freedom of  [tex]df =  15[/tex] from the t - distribution table  is  

     [tex]p-value  = P( t >2.82 ) =0.00646356[/tex]

The

From the values obtained we see that [tex]p-value  < \alpha[/tex]

The decision rule is  

   Reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is

 There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the real estate company's  projection is true

Given that the population variance is unknown then the best statistical distribution to be applied is the t -distribution

Type I  Error

 The type 1 error occur when the null hypothesis is wrongfully rejected

  The consequence in this case is the company will assume that the average selling price has increase and this will lead the company to start expanding the business while in the real sense the average selling price is still  $201,800

   Type II  Error

 The  type 11 error occur when the null hypothesis is wrongfully  accepted(i.e wrongfully failed to reject the null hypothesis)

    The consequence in this case is that the company will assume that the average selling price  is still $201,800 and will not make plans to increase the business while in the real sense the average selling price has increased

   Given that resource is scare the management of the company will want a  smaller  significance level in order not to commit type I error which will lead to wrongly expanding the business and wastes of resources

It is a based on permutations. We need to find P(8,3). It can be calculated as follows :

[tex]P(n,r)=\dfrac{n!}{(n-r)!}[/tex]

So,

[tex]P(8,3)=\dfrac{8!}{(8-3)!}\\\\=\dfrac{8!}{5!}\\\\=\dfrac{8\times 7\times 6\times 5!}{5!}\ [\because n!=n(n-1)!]\\\\=8\times 7\times 6\\\\=336[/tex]

(((x^3)^2))^2

Required:
a. Use the chain rule twice to find the derivative.
b. Use the properties of exponents to first simplify the​ expression, and then find the derivative.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression (((x^3)^2))^2

a) Differentiating the function with respect to x using chain rule.

Given y = (((x^3)^2))^2

Let u = (x³)²

y = u²; dy/du = 2u

Let p = x³; dp/dx = 3x²

u = p²; du/dp = 2p

Applying the chain rule formula:

dy/dx = dy/du • du/dp • dp/dx

substitute in the formula

dy/dx = 2u•2p•3x²

Since u = (x³)² and p = x³

dy/dx = 2(x³)²(2x³)(3x²)

dy/dx = 12x^6•x^5

dy/dx = 12x¹¹

b) Using property of exponent

y = (((x^3)^2))^2

y = (x^6)²

y = x¹²

dy/dx = 12x^12-1

dy/dx = 12x^11
