Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The mean SAT score is
, we are going to call it \mu since it's the "true" mean
The standard deviation (we are going to call it
) is
![\sigma=48](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csigma%3D48)
Next they draw a random sample of n=70 students, and they got a mean score (denoted by
) of ![\bar x=613](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbar%20x%3D613)
The test then boils down to the question if the score of 613 obtained by the students in the sample is statistically bigger that the "true" mean of 600.
- So the Null Hypothesis ![H_0:\bar x \geq \mu](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=H_0%3A%5Cbar%20x%20%5Cgeq%20%5Cmu)
- The alternative would be then the opposite ![H_0:\bar x < \mu](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=H_0%3A%5Cbar%20x%20%3C%20%5Cmu)
The test statistic for this type of test takes the form
![t=\frac{| \mu -\bar x |} {\sigma/\sqrt{n}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=t%3D%5Cfrac%7B%7C%20%5Cmu%20-%5Cbar%20x%20%7C%7D%20%7B%5Csigma%2F%5Csqrt%7Bn%7D%7D)
and this test statistic follows a normal distribution. This last part is quite important because it will tell us where to look for the critical value. The problem ask for a 0.05 significance level. Looking at the normal distribution table, the critical value that leaves .05% in the upper tail is 1.645.
With this we can then replace the values in the test statistic and compare it to the critical value of 1.645.
![t=\frac{| \mu -\bar x |} {\sigma/\sqrt{n}}\\\\= \frac{| 600-613 |}{48/\sqrt(70}}\\\\= \frac{| 13 |}{48/8.367}\\\\= \frac{| 13 |}{5.737}\\\\=2.266\\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=t%3D%5Cfrac%7B%7C%20%5Cmu%20-%5Cbar%20x%20%7C%7D%20%7B%5Csigma%2F%5Csqrt%7Bn%7D%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B%7C%20600-613%20%7C%7D%7B48%2F%5Csqrt%2870%7D%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B%7C%2013%20%7C%7D%7B48%2F8.367%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B%7C%2013%20%7C%7D%7B5.737%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D2.266%5C%5C)
<h3>since 2.266>1.645 we can reject the null hypothesis.</h3>
well, keeping in mind that a year has 12 months, that means that 8 months is 8/12 of a year, when Mrs Rojas pull her money out.

well, she put in 6000 bucks, got back 160 extra, that's the interest earned in the 8 months.
what if she had left her money for 1 whole year, then

so had she left it in for a year, she'd have gotten 6240, namely 240 in interest, well, what fraction of a year's interest was earned? or worded differently, what fraction is 160(8 months) of 240(1 year)?

Answer:
180.8
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Add all the numbers
2. Divide the sum by 5
3. you get the answer
Just convert all your measurements. 1gallon is 4 quarts. So 9 gallons= 36qt and 6 gallons= 24qt so the question becomes 36qt+1qt+24qt+1qt=62qt or 15.5 gallons.
77/8= 9.625 and 31/4= 7.75...so 9.625-7.75= 1.875
