Explain the difference between a rate, a ratio, and a proportion?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A proportion is an equality of two ratios.

Example : [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x}{9}[/tex]

We write proportions to help us find equivalent ratios and solve for unknown quantities.

A rate is the quotient of a ratio where the quantities have different units.

Example : [tex]\frac{distance}{time}[/tex]

A ratio is a comparison of two quantities.

Example : 1 : 3 or [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

The area of a square is 64 cm2 then find it's perimeter.​

Answers

Answer:

32cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of sqaure is a^2

Side will be

underroot of 64 =8

Premeter of sqaure is 4a = 4×8 = 32cm

first we need to find length.

here.

Area= 64cm^2

or, 64= l^2

using formula area = length × length

therefore solving we get ,

length = 8 cm.

now,

perimeter = 4l

= 4 × 8 cm.

= 32 cm..........

find two number nearest to 8888888 which are exactly divisible by 2915​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given problem is to find nearest number,

= 8888888/2915

quotient = 3049

remainder= 1053

Now, 2915-1053 = 1862

8888888+1862 = 8890750

8888888-1053 = 8887835

Two numbers nearest to 8888888 which are exactly divisible by 2915 is 8887835 and 8890750

Of the respondents, 502 replied that America is doing about the right amount. What is the 95 % confidence interval for the proportion of all American adults who feel that America is doing about the right amount to protect the environment?

Answers

Answer:

The 95 % confidence interval for the proportion of all American adults who feel that America is doing about the right amount to protect the environment is (0.461, 0.543), considering [tex]n = 1000[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Incomplete question, so i will suppose this is a sample of 1000.

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

Of the n respondents, 502 replied that America is doing about the right amount.

Supposing [tex]n = 1000[/tex], so [tex]\pi = \frac{502}{1000} = 0.502[/tex]

95% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.96[/tex].  

The lower limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.502 - 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.502*0.498}{1000}} = 0.461[/tex]

The upper limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.502 + 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.502*0.498}{1000}} = 0.543[/tex]

The 95 % confidence interval for the proportion of all American adults who feel that America is doing about the right amount to protect the environment is (0.461, 0.543), considering [tex]n = 1000[/tex]

Consider the functions f and g in the tables below. f(x) = 90x2 + 180x + 92 x y 0 92 1 362 2 812 3 1,442 4 2,252 5 3,242 g(x) = 6x x y 0 1 1 6 2 36 3 216 4 1,296 5 7,776 Which of the following statements is true? A. At approximately x = 4.39, the rate of change of f is equal to the rate of change of g. B. As x increases, the rate of change of g exceeds the rate of change of f. C. As x increases, the rate of change of f exceeds the rate of change of g. D. For every value of x, the rate of change of g exceeds the rate of change of f.

Answers

Answer:

As x increases, the rate of change of g exceeds the rate of change of f.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]f(x) = 90x^2 + 180x + 92[/tex]

[tex]\begin{array}{ccccccc}x & {0} & {1} & {2} & {3} & {4} & {5} & f(x) & {92} & {362} & {812} & {1442} & {2252} & {3242} \ \end{array}[/tex]

[tex]g(x) = 6^x[/tex]

[tex]\begin{array}{ccccccc}x & {0} & {1} & {2} & {3} & {4} & {5} & g(x) & {1} & {6} & {36} & {216} & {1296} & {7776} \ \end{array}[/tex]

Required

Which of the options is true?

A. At [tex]x \approx 4.39[/tex], f(x) has the same rate of change as g(x)

Rate of change is calculated as:

[tex]m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]

For f(x)

[tex]f(x) = 90x^2 + 180x + 92[/tex]

[tex]f(4.39) = 90*4.39^2 + 180*4.39 + 92 = 2616.689[/tex]

So, the rate of change is:

[tex]m = \frac{2616.689}{4.39} = 596.06[/tex]

For g(x)

[tex]g(x) = 6^x[/tex]

[tex]g(4.39) = 6^{4.39} = 2606.66[/tex]

So, the rate of change is:

[tex]m = \frac{2606.66}{4.39} = 593.77[/tex]

The rate of change of both functions are not equal at x = 4.39. Hence, (a) is false.

B. Rate of change of g(x) is greater than f(x) with increment in x

Using the formula in (a), we have:

[tex]\begin{array}{ccccccc}x & {0} & {1} & {2} & {3} & {4} & {5} & f(x) & {92} & {362} & {812} & {1442} & {2252} & {3242} & m &\infty & 362 & 406 & 480 & 563 &648.4\ \end{array}[/tex]

[tex]\begin{array}{ccccccc}x & {0} & {1} & {2} & {3} & {4} & {5} & g(x) & {1} & {6} & {36} & {216} & {1296} & {7776} & m & \infty & 6 & 18 & 72 & 324 & 1555 \ \end{array}[/tex]

From x = 1 to 4, the rate of change of f is greater than the rate of g.

However, from x = 5, the rate of change of g is greater than the rate of f.

This means that (b) is true.

The above table further shows that (c) and (d) are false.

f(x) + g(x) - h(x) = 4x^2 + 3x + 3 - (x^2 - 3x + 1)  Remove the brackets.

f(x) + g(x) - h(x) = 3x^2 +3x + 3 - x^2 + 3x - 1     Collect like terms

The lengths of pregnancies in a small rural village are normally distributed with a mean of 264.1 days and a standard deviation of 12.9 days. In what range would you expect to find the middle 95% of most pregnancies

Answers

Answer:

The range of the 95% data (X) =  238.3 days <  X < 289.9 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

mean of the normal distribution, m = 264.1 days

standard deviation, d = 12.9 days

between two standard deviation below and above the mean is 96% of all the data.

two standard deviation below the mean = m - 2d

                                                                   = 264.1 - 2(12.9)

                                                                   = 238.3 days

two standard deviation above the mean = m + 2d

                                                                    = 264.1 + 2(12.9)

                                                                     = 289.9 days

The middle of the 95% of most pregnancies would be found in the following range;

238.3 days <  X < 289.9 days

Please select the best answer from the choices provided

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let the width = w

w = w

L = 4 + w

Area = 4*w + 25 = L * w

4w + 25 = L * w                  Substitute for the length

4w + 25 = (w*(w + 4))

4w + 25 = w^2 + 4w          Subtract 4w from each side

w^2 = 25                            Take the square root.

w = +/- 5

Pippa had 35 stickers.

She gave an equal number of stickers to 8 friends.

She gave each friend as many stickers as possible and kept the rest for herself.

How many stickers did Pippa keep for herself?

Answers

Answer: 3 stickers

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we know that Pippa's 8 friends have an equal amount of stickers, meaning that the number of stickers that Pippa gave out is a multiple of 8.

Also, we are able to know that Pippa gave as much as she can, meaning that she gave out the stickers until the number is the maximum multiple of 8.

First Five Multiple of 8 = 8, 16, 24, 32, 40

As we can see from the list, 8, 16, and 24 are all multiples of 8, but they are not the maximum number that could fit under 35 stickers. Similarly, 40 exceeds the number of stickers Pippa has. Thus, we are left with 32.

This means, Pippa gave out 32 stickers in total, and each friend got 4 stickers.

32 / 8 = 4 stickers

Also, this means Pippa would keep 3 stickers for herself.

35 - 32 = 3 stickers

Put the following equation of a line into slope-intercept form, simplifying all
fractions.
3x – 9y = -72

Answers

24+-3y is the correct answer

the slope-intercept form of the given equation is y = x/3 + 8.

What is the slope?

The increase divided by the run, or the ratio of the rise to the run is known as the line's slope. The coordinate plane describes the slope of the line.

The slope-intercept form of a line is Y = m*X +C.

Given an equation 3x-9y = -72, which we will try to make in the slope-intercept form by using simplification.

3x-9y = -72

9y = 3x + 72

y = 1/3 * x + 8

Therefore y = x/3 + 8 is the slope-intercept form of the given equation.  where its slope is 1/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]3(^nP_2 + 24) = ^{2n}P_2[/tex]

Required

Find n

To do this, we simply apply permutations formula

[tex]nP_r = \frac{n!}{(n -r)!}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]3 * [\frac{n!}{(n -2)!} + 24] = \frac{2n!}{(2n -2)!}[/tex]

Expand

[tex]3 * [\frac{n * (n - 1) * (n - 2)!}{(n -2)!} + 24] = \frac{2n * (2n - 1) * (2n - 2)}{2n - 2}[/tex]
