Several factors influence the value obtained for a t statistic. Some factors affect the numerator of the t statistic and others influence the size of the estimated standard error in the denominator. For each of the following, indicate whether the factor influences the numerator of dominator of the t statistic and determine whether the effect would be to increase the value of t (farther from zero) or decrease the value of t (closer to zero). In each case, assume that all other factors remain constant.
a. Increase the variability of the scores.
b. Increase the number of scores in the sample.
Increase the difference between the sample mean and the population mean.
They always have a numerator but, if they are integers, the may not have a denominator.
If the GCF of the numerator and the denominator is 1, the fraction is in its simplest form.
You are both raising the factors or numerator and denominator
You look for common factors, and divide both numerator and denominator by the same factor. For example, 9/12 has the common factor 3, if you divide numerator and denominator by 3, you get 3/4.
Knowing factors will help you find a GCF. To simplify a fraction, divide the numerator and the denominator by their GCF.
They always have a numerator but, if they are integers, the may not have a denominator.
You look for common factors in the numerator and the denominator, then divide both the numerator and the denominator by that common factor.
The numerator and denominator of fractions are just whole numbers and have factors like any other number. Factor them as you would any regular whole number.
If a fraction's numerator and denominator have no factors other than one in common, the fraction cannot be simplified except if the denominator is 1, in which case the fraction can be simplified to the whole number of the numerator.
If the numerator and denominator of a fraction have a common factor (except for '1'), divide both numerator and denominator by their common factor. The fraction is in the simplest form when the numerator and denominator have no common factors.
If the numerator and the denominator have no common factors other than one, the fraction is already in its simplest form.
If the numerator and denominator are prime numbers and not equal then they don't have common factors (except 1 which would be a common factor even if the numerator and denominator were prime numbers).
Where the numerator and denominator have no further common factors
1 and 2
3/35 is the simplest form. Why? Numerator factors: 3. Denominator factors: 5 and 7. None of the numerator and denominator factors are the same and therefore cannot cancel each other out.
That is correct. It is easier to simplify the fraction before multiplying all the factors in the numerator and the denominator.That is correct. It is easier to simplify the fraction before multiplying all the factors in the numerator and the denominator.That is correct. It is easier to simplify the fraction before multiplying all the factors in the numerator and the denominator.That is correct. It is easier to simplify the fraction before multiplying all the factors in the numerator and the denominator.
Fractions can be simplified when the numerator and denominator have a common factor in them. If both the numerator and denominator have common factors, then we can cancel these factors out. So the simplest for of 18/56 is 9/28.
