Answer:

• It is possible to divide the seventh graders into teams of equal sizes.

,

• 13 students should be on each team.

Explanation:

The seventh grade of Wilson consists of three classes; one with 28 students, one with 29, and one with 34. Therefore, the total number of students in seventh grade is:

\text{Total}=28+29+34=91

He wants each team to have between 4 and 8 students.

\begin{gathered} \frac{91}{4}\approx22.75 \\ \frac{91}{5}\approx18.2 \\ \frac{91}{6}\approx15.2 \\ \frac{91}{7}\approx13 \\ \frac{91}{8}\approx11.4 \end{gathered}

Therefore:

• It is possible to divide the seventh graders into teams of equal sizes.

,

• 13 students should be on each team.

4, Find a number x such that x = 1 mod 4, x 2 mod 7, and x 5 mod 9.
olchik [2.2K]

4, 7 and 9 are mutually coprime, so you can use the Chinese remainder theorem.

Start with

x=7\cdot9+4\cdot2\cdot9+4\cdot7\cdot5

Taken mod 4, the last two terms vanish and we're left with

x\equiv63\equiv64-1\equiv-1\equiv3\pmod4

We have 3^2\equiv9\equiv1\pmod4, so we can multiply the first term by 3 to guarantee that we end up with 1 mod 4.

x=7\cdot9\cdot3+4\cdot2\cdot9+4\cdot7\cdot5

Taken mod 7, the first and last terms vanish and we're left with

x\equiv72\equiv2\pmod7

which is what we want, so no adjustments needed here.

x=7\cdot9\cdot3+4\cdot2\cdot9+4\cdot7\cdot5

Taken mod 9, the first two terms vanish and we're left with

x\equiv140\equiv5\pmod9

so we don't need to make any adjustments here, and we end up with x=401.

By the Chinese remainder theorem, we find that any x such that

x\equiv401\pmod{4\cdot7\cdot9}\implies x\equiv149\pmod{252}

is a solution to this system, i.e. x=149+252n for any integer n, the smallest and positive of which is 149.

A local eat-in pizza restaurant wants to investigate the possibility of starting to deliver pizzas. The owner of the store has d
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

Read step by step explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The owner already knows that the limit for the average time delivered pizzas is 38 minutes. So we conclude

1.-The resulting mean from sample data ( x ) ( 27 customers) need to be smaller than 38 minutes, any value of sample above 38 minutes means more time for the delivery action and will indicate a failure for the future project

2.-As sample size is smaller than 30 the test has to be  t-student one tail test to the left

Test hypothesis

Null hypothesis                       H₀                  x  = 38

Alternative hypothesis           Hₐ                  x  <  38

We should test at a significance level α  = 0,05       (α = 5%)

If the result of the test is to accept  H₀  delivery project won´t be implemented, if on the other hand, H₀ is rejected then in the condition of the alternative hypothesis we accept Hₐ the sample indicates that we have a smaller average time than 38 minutes.
