\huge\boxed{18\ \text{points}}

We'll represent Louise's, Tammy's, Delores's, and Sheryl's point values with x, x+1, x+2, and x+3 respectively since each one is 1 point more than the last.

Add all of these values up and set it all equal to 78.

x+x+1+x+2+x+3=78

Now, simplify.

4x+6=78

Subtract 6 on both sides.

\begin{aligned}4x+6-6&=78-6\\4x&=72\end{aligned}

Divide both sides by 4.

\begin{aligned}\frac{4x}{4}&=\frac{72}{4}\\x&=\boxed{18}\end{aligned}

Since Louise's score is x, the answer is 18.

<h3>Double-checking</h3>

To verify our answer, add the point totals 18, 19, 20, and 21.

This equals 78, so we can be sure the answer is correct.

Find the derivative of y with respect to the appropriate variable<br> y=cos^-1(x^2)
Ksju [112]

Answer:

a. Practically speaking, you compute the differential in much the same way you compute a derivative via implicit differentiation, but you omit the variable with respect to which you are differentiating.

Aside: Compare this to what happens when you differentiate both sides with respect to some other independent parameter, say :

b. This is just a matter of plugging

A manufacturer of chocolate candies uses machines to package candies as they move along a filling line. Although the packages ar
Elenna [48]

Answer:

We conclude that the mean amount packaged is equal to 8.17 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that in a particular sample of 50 packages, the mean amount dispensed is 8.171 ​ounces, with a sample standard deviation of 0.052 ounces.

Let \mu = <u><em>population mean amount packaged. </em></u>

So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \mu = 8.17 ounces    {means that the mean amount packaged is equal to 8.17 ounces}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : \mu\neq 8.17 ounces    {means that the mean amount packaged is different from 8.17 ounces}

The test statistics that will be used here is <u>One-sample t-test statistics</u> because we don't know about the population standard deviation;

                               T.S.  =  \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }  ~  t_n_-_1

where, \bar X = sample mean amount dispensed = 8.171 ounces

             s = sample standard deviation = 0.052 ounces

            n = sample of packages = 50

So, <u><em>the test statistics</em></u> =  \frac{8.171-8.17}{\frac{0.052}{\sqrt{50} } }  ~   t_4_9

                                    =  0.1359  

The value of t-test statistics is 0.1359.

<u>Also, the P-value of test-statistics is given by;</u>

the meaning of the​ p-value is that the p-value is the probability of obtaining a sample mean that is equal to or more extreme than 0.001 ounces away from8.17 if the null hypothesis is true.

                    P-value = P( t_4_9 > 0.136) = More than 40% {from the t-table}

Since the P-value of our test statistics is more than the level of significance of 0.01, so <u><em>we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis</em></u> as it will not fall in the rejection region.

Therefore, we conclude that the mean amount packaged is equal to 8.17 ounces.
