fractions:

Fraction is a part of a whole, for example 1/2. Equivalent fractions are fractions that look different but show the same amount. Improper fractions have numerators that are higher than the denominator, while mixed fractions contain whole numbers and fractions.

In order to compare fractions, you need to change them so they have the same denominator. Fractions can be converted into decimals. You need to be able to work out a fraction of a given quantity.

How do we find 3/5 of 20?

Method 1 is to find 1/5 of 20, then multiply by 3.

1/5 of 20 is 20 ÷ 5 = 4.

We need 3/5 of 20, so we multiply 4 by 3.

3/5 of 20 = 4 × 3 = 12.

you can put this in your calculator:

3/5 × 20 = 3/5 × 20/1 = 60/5 = 12

Suppose you take an SRS of size 1000 of Connecticut students eligible to take the SAT and find that 85% plan to take the SAT dur

Answer:

$\mu_{p}=p=0.81$

Step-by-step explanation:

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".

The population proportion have the following distribution

$p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})$

So under the null hypothesis the mean for the population proportion is p

$\mu_{p}=p=0.81$

And the standard deviationis given by:

$\sigma_{p}=\sqrt{\frac{p_0(1-p_o)}{n}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.81(1-0.81)}{1000}}=0.0124$

Find the simple interest earned to the nearest cent for each principal, interest rate, and time.

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Interest earned at 3.9 percent rate is $31.2

Interest earned at 2 percent rate is $5.8

Step-by-step explanation:

A = P(1 + rt)

Where 'A' is the amount, 'r' is the rate and 't' is the time in years

When;

P = $1200

r = 3.9%

t = $\frac{8}{12}$ years

Then,

A = $1200(1 + 0.039( $\frac{8}{12}$ ))

A = $1200 + $31.2 = $1231.2

Interest = Amount - Principal

Interest earned at 3.9 percent rate is $1231.2 - $1200 = $31.2

When;

P = $580

r = 2%

t = $\frac{6}{12}$ years

Then,

A = $580(1 + 0.02( $\frac{6}{12}$ ))

A = $580 + $5.8 = $585.8

Interest earned = Amount - Principal

Interest earned at 2 percent rate = $585.8 - $580 = $5.8
