make them all the same denominator so

the least common denominator for all of them is  24:

1/3 x 8/8=8/24

5/6x4/4=20/24

3/8x3/3=9/24

so from least to greatest it is:

1/3, 3/8, 5/6

The answer is no. As the p-value is more than 0.01, evidence does not support Annie's claim that the chances of getting married for this group is greater than 3.4%.

It assumes that the observed result is due to chance and there is not any difference between specified populations.

To determine this, we must calculate the p-value.

The number of successes in the sample is 20 and the number of observations is 407.

The sample proportion = 0.049. (20/407)

The hypothesis is that the percentage of women who got married is greater than 3.4%.

The null hypothesis is that the percentage is 3.4%.

We can use the z-test statistic to test this hypothesis.

The z-test statistic is calculated as:

z = (0.049-0.034)/(√(0.034(1-0.034)/407))

= 1.66.

The p-value is calculated as:

p-value = Φ/(1.66)

= 0.97.

This is more than 0.01 ,so we can not reject the null hypothesis.

This evidence does not support Annie's claim that the chances of getting married for this group is greater than 3.4%.

Answer:

The range of the stock prices is from $10.82 to $33.17. To find the upper quartile, we need to find the value of the stock price that is greater than 75% of the data.

The distance between the minimum value and the maximum value is:

$33.17 - $10.82 = $22.35

To find the upper quartile, we need to find the value that is three-quarters of the distance above the minimum value:

$10.82 + 0.75($22.35) = $26.69

Therefore, the upper quartile of the stock price is $26.69.

To find the value above which the stock price is higher 25% of the time, we need to find the value that is 75% of the distance above the minimum value:

$10.82 + 0.25($22.35) = $15.62

Therefore, 25% of the time, the stock price is above $15.62.

To find the upper quartile, we need to first find the median of the stock prices, which is the value that divides the distribution into two equal parts. The midpoint of the distribution is:

Midpoint = (10.82 + 33.17) / 2 = 22.995

Now, we can find the upper quartile, which is the median of the upper half of the distribution. The upper half of the distribution ranges from the midpoint to the highest value of 33.17. Therefore, we calculate the median of this range as follows:

Upper quartile = (22.995 + 33.17) / 2 = 28.0825

So, the upper quartile of the stock prices is $28.08.

To find the value above which the stock is priced 25% of the time, we need to find the 75th percentile of the distribution. Since the distribution is uniform, we can use the formula for the percentile as follows:

Percentile rank = (percentile / 100) = (value - minimum) / (maximum - minimum)

Solving for the value, we get:

value = minimum + percentile rank x (maximum - minimum)

For the 75th percentile, we have:

value = 10.82 + 0.75 x (33.17 - 10.82) = 28.49

Therefore, the stock is priced above $28.49 on 25% of all days.

The core concept of calculus in mathematics is a function. The relations are certain kinds of the functions. In mathematics, a function is a rule that produces a different result for every input x. In mathematics, a function is represented by a mapping or transformation. Letters like f, g, and h are widely used to indicate these operations.

In this situation, d (5) = 0.25 means that Tyler is 0.25 minutes away from his home at 7:05am. This is because Tyler's distance from his house at time t after 7am is provided by the function d (t).

Tyler's school starts at 9 a.m. with a 120-minute delay. As a result, if d (5) = 0.25, Tyler has walked for 5 minutes, and his distance function s (r) calculates his distance starting at 7 minutes after 7 a.m. with a 120-minute start delay. The matching point, then, indicates Tyler's separation from his home at 7 minutes after 9 a.m. If he started walking at 7 am and took 5 minutes.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the two numbers are x and y.

From the first statement "twice the difference between two numbers is 44", we can set up the equation:

2(x-y) = 44

Simplifying this equation, we get:

x - y = 22 (dividing both sides by 2)

From the second statement "three times their sum is 96", we can set up the equation:

3(x+y) = 96

Simplifying this equation, we get:

x + y = 32 (dividing both sides by 3)

Now we have two equations:

x - y = 22

x + y = 32

We can solve for x and y by adding the two equations together:

2x = 54

x = 27

Substituting x = 27 in either of the two equations, we get:

y = 5

Therefore, the two numbers are 27 and 5.

x = 27;

y = 5.

Say "x" is the first number.

Say "y" is the second number.

First statement: "twice the difference between two numbers is 44".

Difference of the numbers:[tex]x-y[/tex]

Twice the difference: [tex]2(x-y)[/tex]

Twice the difference between two numbers is 44: [tex]2(x-y)=44[/tex]

Second statement: "three times their sum is 96".

Sum of the numbers: [tex](x+y)[/tex]

3 times the sum: [tex]3(x+y)[/tex]

3 times the sum is 96: [tex]3(x+y)=96[/tex]

Use the distributive property of multiplication to simplify each equation as follows (check this property in the attached image).

[tex]2(x-y)=44\\ \\2x-2y=44[/tex]

[tex]3(x+y)=96\\ \\3x+3y=96[/tex]

Let's solve the second equation for "x".

[tex]3x+3y-3y=96-3y\\ \\3x=96-3y\\ \\x=\frac{96-3y}{3} \\ \\x=\frac{96}{3} -\frac{3y}{3} \\ \\x=32-y[/tex]

[tex]2((32-y)-y)=44\\ \\2(32-y-y)=44\\ \\2(32-2y)=44\\ \\(2)(32)+(2)(-2y)=44\\ \\64+(-4y)=44\\ \\64-4y=44\\ \\-4y=44-64\\ \\-4y=-20\\ \\y=\frac{-20}{-4} \\ \\y=5[/tex]

Use any equation to find a value for "x" by substituting "y" by "5" and solving for "x".

[tex]3(x+(5))=96\\ \\3(x+5)=96\\ \\3x+15=96\\ \\3x=96-15\\ \\3x=81\\ \\x=\frac{81}{3} \\ \\x=27[/tex]

To see if the answers are correct, plug in the values of "x" and "y" on each formula and see if they return the correct values (44 and 96).

[tex]2(x-y)=44\\ \\2((27)-(5))=44\\ \\2(22)=44\\ \\44=44[/tex]

Correct.

[tex]3((27)+(5))=96\\ \\3(32)=96\\ \\96=96[/tex]

Correct.

The numbers returned the correct values when evaluated in both opf the equation. Therefore, they are the correct answers.

x = 27;

y = 5.

Answer:

the method of exact differential equations:

We need to check if this differential equation is exact. To do that, we check if the partial derivative of the first term with respect to y is equal to the partial derivative of the second term with respect to x:

∂/∂y(x(x-y)) = x(-1) = -x

∂/∂x(y^2) = 0

Since these partial derivatives are not equal, the differential equation is not exact. We can try to make it exact by multiplying the entire equation by a suitable integrating factor.

Let's find the integrating factor (IF) by taking the partial derivative of the IF with respect to y and equating it to the partial derivative of the second term with respect to x:

∂/∂y(IF) = -y^2/(x(x-y)^2)

∂/∂x(y^2) = 0

From the first equation, we can see that an integrating factor of IF = x(x-y)^2 should make the equation exact. Multiplying the entire equation by this integrating factor, we get:

x(x-y)^2dy + y^2x(x-y)dx = 0

Now, we just need to find a function φ(x,y) such that:

∂φ/∂x = x(x-y)^2dy

∂φ/∂y = y^2x(x-y)dx

Integrating the first equation with respect to x, we get:

φ(x,y) = ∫x(x-y)^2dy + f(x)

φ(x,y) = -1/3(x-y)^3x + f(x)

Now, we differentiate this equation with respect to x and equate it to the second equation:

∂φ/∂x = -(x-y)^3 + f'(x)

∂φ/∂y = y^2(x-y)^3

Comparing the two, we can see that f'(x) = 0, which means that f(x) is a constant. We can choose this constant to be zero without loss of generality.

Therefore, the solution to the differential equation is given by:

-1/3(x-y)^3x + C = 0

where C is an arbitrary constant.

From the given answer choices, the equation that shows work being calculated with the correct unit is C. 113J = (17.4N) x (6.51m)

In physics, work is defined as the amount of energy transferred by a force when it causes an object to move over a certain distance. Work is a scalar quantity and is expressed in units of joules (J) or foot-pounds (ft-lbs).

Mathematically, work (W) is given by the product of the force (F) applied on an object and the displacement (d) of the object in the direction of the force, as expressed in the formula:

W = F * d * cos(theta)

where theta is the angle between the force vector and the displacement vector.

Thus, the correct units which are Joules, metres and Newton are used.

b. 650 because in the directions it says for groups of more than ( > ) 8 people they charge a FIXED fee of 650 so it's not 75 times 9 which would have been 675

Step-by-step explanation:

C(n) = {

75n, if n <= 8

650, if n > 8 and n <= 12

}

This function states that for groups of 8 people or fewer, the total cost is 75n, while for groups of 9 to 12 people, the total cost is a fixed $650.

b. To determine the total cost of a 1-hour private guided tour with 9 people, we can simply plug n = 9 into the equation we derived in part a:

C(9) = {

75*9, if 9 <= 8

650, if 9 > 8 and 9 <= 12

}

Since 9 is greater than 8 but less than or equal to 12, we use the second case:

C(9) = 650

Therefore, the total cost of a 1-hour private guided tour with 9 people is $650.

Distance is the measure of how far apart two objects or points are from each other. It is a scalar quantity, which means it only has magnitude and no direction. Distance is usually measured in units such as meters (m), kilometers (km), feet (ft), miles (mi), or any other appropriate unit of length.

a) convert the times to a 24-hour format to perform the calculation.

07:00 in 24-hour format is 07:00, and 18:50 in 24-hour format is 18:50.

The journey duration is:

18:50 - 07:00 = 11 hours and 50 minutes

Therefore, the journey took 11 hours and 50 minutes.

b) The average speed of the bus can be found by dividing the distance traveled by the time taken:

Average speed = Distance ÷ Time

= 840 km ÷ 11.83 hours (converted from 11 hours and 50 minutes)

= 70.95 km/hour

Therefore, the average speed of the bus was 70.95 km/hour.

c) The fuel consumption rate is 1 liter per 20 km. Therefore, the bus consumed 840 km / 20 = 42 liters of diesel fuel for the journey.

The cost of fuel can be calculated by multiplying the fuel quantity by the cost per liter:

Cost of fuel = Fuel quantity x Cost per liter

= 42 liters x K5.74/liter

In conclusion, the probability of selecting a Democrat or a business major is 11/15.

How to solve?

To find the probability of selecting a Democrat or a business major, we need to add the probabilities of selecting a Democrat and selecting a business major, and then subtract the probability of selecting a student who is both a Democrat and a business major (since we would be double counting this student).

So, let's calculate each of these probabilities:

Probability of selecting a Democrat: There are 40 Democrats out of 60 students, so the probability of selecting a Democrat is 40/60 = 2/3.

Probability of selecting a business major: There are 10 business majors out of 60 students, so the probability of selecting a business major is 10/60 = 1/6.

Probability of selecting a student who is both a Democrat and a business major: We know that there are 4 business majors who are also Democrats, so the probability of selecting one of these students is 4/60 = 1/15.

Now we can calculate the probability of selecting a Democrat or a business major:

P(Democrat or business major) = P(Democrat) + P(business major) - P(Democrat and business major)

= 2/3 + 1/6 - 1/15

= 11/15

Therefore, the probability of selecting a Democrat or a business major is 11/15.

The probability that at least 4 accounting majors are on the committee is E. 0.5874.

Probability operates on the principle of dividing the number of expected outcomes by the number of total outcomes. To find the probability that at least 4 accounting majors are on the committee, we can begin by determining the probability of having exactly 4, 5, 6, and 7 accounting majors on the committee. After finding these probabilities, we can then sum up the figures.

First, the total number of ways to choose 8 members from a group of 6+7=13 is:

13! / (8! * 5!) = 1287

Next, we will find the number of ways to choose exactly 4 accounting majors and 4 finance majors is:

6 choose 4 * 7 choose 4 = 15 * 35 = 525

Also, the number of ways to choose exactly 6 accounting majors and 2 finance majors is:

6 choose 6 * 7 choose 2 = 1 * 21 = 21

Finally, the number of ways to choose exactly 7 accounting majors and 1 finance major is:

6 choose 7 * 7 choose 1 = 0 * 7 = 0

Now, we will sum the total number of ways to choose a committee with at least 4 accounting majors as follows:

525 + 210 + 21 + 0 = 756

756 / 1287 = 0.587

Therefore, the probability of selecting a minimum of 4 accounting majors is thus 0.5874.

The exponential function that describes the amount in the account after time t is:

A(t) = 17509*e^(0.066t).

The balance after 10 years is $39,499.57

The doubling time is approximately 10.48 years.

a) The formula for continuously compounded interest is given by:

A = P*e^(rt)

where A is the amount after time t, P is the principal, r is the annual interest rate (as a decimal), and e is the mathematical constant approximately equal to 2.71828.

In this case, P = $17,509, r = 0.066 (6.6% expressed as a decimal), and t is the time in years. So the exponential function that describes the amount in the account after time t is:

A(t) = 17509*e^(0.066t)

b) To find the balance after 1 year, we plug in t=1:

A(1) = 17509e^(0.0661) ≈ $18,693.68

To find the balance after 2 years, we plug in t=2:

A(2) = 17509e^(0.0662) ≈ $19,971.60

To find the balance after 5 years, we plug in t=5:

A(5) = 17509e^(0.0665) ≈ $25,150.24

To find the balance after 10 years, we plug in t=10:

A(10) = 17509e^(0.06610) ≈ $39,499.57

c) The doubling time is the time it takes for the investment to double in value. We can solve for the doubling time by setting A(t) = 2P and solving for t:

2P = P*e^(rt)

2 = e^(rt)

ln(2) = rt

t = ln(2)/r

Plugging in the values for r and solving, we get:

t = ln(2)/0.066 ≈ 10.48 years

Answer:

3/20

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the product of 2/8 and 3/5, we simply multiply the numerators and the denominators:

(2/8) x (3/5) = (2 x 3) / (8 x 5) = 6/40

We can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 2:

6/40 = (6 ÷ 2) / (40 ÷ 2) = 3/20

Therefore, the product of 2/8 and 3/5 is 3/20.

Answer:√x

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming the equation says [tex]f^{-1}(x)=x^{2}[/tex]

What you do is put x instead of [tex]f^{-1}(x)[/tex] and y² instead of x²

So x = y²

Rearrange for y

y = √x

Replace y with f(x)

f(x) = √x

Answer:

Raul is 15 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of years from the start of the Great Depression to Nixon's election is six years less than three times Raul's age: 3r-6

If then Nixon's first election happened 39 years after the Great Depression, then: 3r-6=39

3r-6=39    Add six to both sides so the 6 on the left side gets canceled out (positive and negative cancel each other out) so the equation will now look like this: 3r=45

Then divide 3 on both sides (multiplication and division also cancel each other out), then the equation looks like this: r=15

And so, Raul is 15 years old.

The 18th term of the sequence is -140

It is important to note that the formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is expressed with the equation;

an = a + (n - 1) d

Such that the parameters are enumerated as;

From the information given, we have;

The sequence is;

-21, -14, -7, 0, 7, ...

Then, the common difference = -14 - (-21) = -14 + 21 = -7

Substitute the value

a18 = -21 + (18 - 1) -7

expand the bracket

a18 =-21 + (17)-7

a18 = - 21 - 119

a18 = - 140
