It is important to look at all the information’s already given in the question. Those information’s will come in handy while solving the question.
Number of dogs in the shelter = 60
Percentage of puppies in the shelter = 15%
Then
Number of puppies in the shelter = (15/100) * 60
= 900/100
= 9
So there are a total of 9 puppies in the shelter. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand. I am glad to have helped you.

The body weight of a healthy 3 month-old colt should be about μ = 60 kg. (Source: The Merck Veterinary Manual, a standard refere

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

The null hypothesis will be $H_o : \mu = 60 \ kg$

The alternative hypothesis will be $H_a : \mu < 60$

The alternative hypothesis will be $H_a : \mu > 60$

The alternative hypothesis will be $H_a : \mu \ne 60$

left; right; both

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering question a

The body weight of the colt is $\mu = 60 \ kg$

The null hypothesis will be $H_o : \mu = 60 \ kg$

Considering question b

Given that we want to test the claim that the average weight of a wild Nevada colt is less than 60 kg , then

The alternative hypothesis will be $H_a : \mu < 60$

Considering question c

Given that we want to test the claim that the average weight of such a wild colt is greater than 60 kg , then

The alternative hypothesis will be $H_a : \mu > 60$

Considering question d

Given that we want to test the claim that the average weight of such a wild colt is different from 60 kg , then

The alternative hypothesis will be $H_a : \mu \ne 60$

Considering question e

For question b , the corresponding p-value will be on the left because the average weight is less than 60 kg

For question c , the corresponding p-value will be on the right because the average weight is more than 60 kg

For question d , the corresponding p-value will be on both because the average weight is different from 60 kg

At the farmers market two pounds of peaches cost 4.20 how much would five pounds cost show work

Marizza181 [45]

Hey!

You can make a proportion:

$\frac{2}{\$ 4.20} = \frac{5}{x}$

Cross multiply

$\$ 4.20 \times 5 = \$ 21$

Divide by 2

$\$ 21 \div 2 = \$ 10.5$

<em>5 pounds would cost $10.50</em>

Good luck and hope this helps! :)

According to the Rational Root Theorem, which number is a potential root of f(x) = 9x8 + 9x6 – 12x + 7?

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

Seven-thirds

Step-by-step explanation:

The give equation is $f(x)=9x^8+9x^6-12x+7$ .

The leading coefficient is 9

The constant term is 7

According to the rational root theorem, the ratio of factors the constant terms to that of the coefficient of the leading term are all possible rational roots of the given polynomial.

Base on this theorem, $\frac{7}{3}$ or seven thirds is a potential root because the numeration is a factor of 7 and the denominator is a factor of 9.
