Hello there! I can help you! So there is one blue counter added to two green counters. To solve this problem, we can write and solve an equation. Set it up like this:

12 + 1x = 8 + 2x

We do this, because there are already some of each color in the bag. 1x makes one counter each and 2x is two counters for every blue counter in the bag. Let's solve it. Subtract 1x from each side. 1x - 1x cancels out. 2x - 1x is 1x or just simply x. That simplifies to 12 = 8 + x. Subtract 8 from each side to get the variable by itself. 8 - 8 cancels out. 12 - 8 is 4. That leaves 4 = x. Nothing else needs to be done. Let's plug the value in and see if it works. 1 * 4 is 4. 12 + 4 is 16. 2 * 4 is 8. 8 + 8 is 16. 16 = 16. There. x = 4. 4 blue counters and 8 green counters were added to the bag.

A man is sixteen years older than his father, if the total age is 57. How old is the son and the father?

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

The son is 20 and a half years old.

The father is 36 and a half years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this easily by turning it into an equation.

Let the mans age be y and the fathers age be x.

y+x=57

x=y+16

We can use the substitution method to solve for the first equation.

y+(y+16)=57

Now we only have one variable to solve for. Add like terms.

2y+16=57

Subtract 16 on both sides.

2y=41

Divide both sides by 2 to isolate y.

y=20.5

Now substitute 20.5 for y to solve for x.

20.5+x=57

Subtract 20.5 from both sides.

x=36.5

<em>The son is 20 and a half years old.</em>

<em>The father is 36 and a half years old.</em>

Hope this helps!

gretchen and Ezia received equal scores on a test made up of multiple choice questions and an essay. Gretchen got 18 multiple ch

timurjin [86]

The multiply choice were worth 4 points.
Gretchen= 18x+19
Ezia= 15x+31

So basically you can enter any number. At first I picked 3 and then I did the math and I got 73 points for Gretchen and 76 points for Ezia.

Then I pick four and then I got 91 points for them both. This is how I got the answer:

18x+19=15x+31
18(4)+19=15(4)+31
72+19=60+31
91=91

Sally makes a fruit drink using ⅔ of a cup of orange juice for every ¼ of a cup of pineapple juice. How many cups of orange juic

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

5 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up ratio.

2/3 cup orange juice X 2 cups pineapple juice

———————————-

1/4 cup pineapple juice

first multiply numerator : 2/3 x 2 = 4/3

and divide by denominator

(4/3)/(1/4). Keep the first. Change the sign to multiplication and Flip the second fraction.

4/3 x 4/1 = 16/3

change to proper fraction : 16/3 = 5 1/3 cups

Does going to a private university increase the chance that a student will graduate with student loan debt? A national poll by t

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

Null hypothesis: $p \leq 0.69$

Alternative hypothesis: $p > 0.69$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

n=1500 represent the random sample taken

X represent the number of graduates that had student loan debt in 2014

$\hat p=0.71$ estimated proportion of adults that said that it is morally wrong to not report all income on tax returns

$p_o=0.69$ is the value that we want to test

$\alpha$ represent the significance level

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the p value (variable of interest)

2) Concepts and formulas to use

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that if there was a significant increase in the proportion of student loan debt for public and nonprofit colleges in 2014 respect to the value of 2013.:

Null hypothesis: $p \leq 0.69$

Alternative hypothesis: $p > 0.69$

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, and the is given by:

$z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}$ (1)

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion $\hat p$ is significantly different from a hypothesized value $p_o$ .

3) Calculate the statistic

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:

$z=\frac{0.71 -0.69}{\sqrt{\frac{0.69(1-0.69)}{1500}}}=1.675$

4) Statistical decision

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.

The significance level assumed is $\alpha=0.05$ . The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.

Since is a right tailed test the p value would be:

$p_v =P(Z>1.675)=0.047$

If we compare the p value obtained and using the significance level assumed $\alpha=0.05$ we have $p_v$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of adults that said that it is morally wrong to not report all income on tax returns is not significantly higher than 0.69.
