A pet store holds training classes for dogs. The store has two different training programs. The first program charges a $35 memb

GrogVix [38]

The programs cost the same for 7 classes.

Given, no. of classes is represented by c, no. of dogs is represented by d, no. of hours is represented by h, the no. of programs is represented by p and the total cost is represented by t.

The first program charges $35 membership fee and $5 for each class.

The second program charges only $10 for each class.

Now the total cost say $t_{1}$ , for first program can be written in equation form as,

$t_{1} =35+5c$ , here c is the no. of classes.

Similarly, the total cost say $t_{2}$ , for second program can be written in equation form as,

$t_{2} =10c$ .

We have to find out the no. of classes for which the two programs cost the same.

according to the question,

$t_{1} =t_{2}$

$35+5c=10c\\10c-5c=35\\5c=35\\c=7$

Hence for 7 of classes the programs cost the same.

A tin of biscuits contains shortbread and choc-chip biscuits in the ratio 2:3 . The tin contains 80 biscuits. How many short-bre

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

32

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 80 biscuits inside the tin.

Also, they said that those biscuits are in the ratio

Short bread : Choc - chip

2 : 3

Altogether there are 5 shares ( 2 + 3)

And now you can divide 80 by 5 to find how many biscuits contain per a share.

80 ÷ 5 = 16

In the question, they asked us to to find the number of short biscuits inside the tin.

Let us find that.

There are 2 shares for short bread biscuits.

So,

Number of short biscuits ⇒ 2 × 16

⇒ 32

Hope this helps you :-)

The USDA conducted tests for salmonella in produce grown in California. In an independent sample of 252 cultures obtained from w

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

The decision rule is

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is

There no sufficient evidence to show that the proportion of salmonella in the region’s water differs from the proportion of salmonella in the region’s wildlife

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The first sample size is $n_1 = 252$

The number that tested positive is $k_1 = 18$

The second sample size is $n_2 = 476$

The number that tested positive is $k_2 = 20$

The level of significance is $\alpha = 0.01$

Generally the first sample proportion is mathematically represented as

$\^ p _1 = \frac{k_1 }{ n_1 }$

=> $\^ p _1 = \frac{18 }{ 252 }$

=> $\^ p _1 = 0.071$

Generally the second sample proportion is mathematically represented as

$\^ p _2 = \frac{k_2 }{ n_2 }$

=> $\^ p _2 = \frac{20 }{ 476}$

=> $\^ p _2 = 0.042$

The null hypothesis is $H_o : p_1 - p_2 = 0$

The alternative hypothesis is $H_a : p_1 - p_2 \ne 0$

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented

$z = \frac{ \^ p_1 - \^ p_2 - ( p_ 1 - p_2 )}{ \sqrt{\frac{\^ p_1 (1-\^ p_1)}{ n_1 } + \frac{\^ p_2 (1-\^ p_2)}{ n_2 } } }$

=> $z = \frac{ 0.071 - 0.042 - 0 }{ \sqrt{\frac{0.071 (1-0.071)}{ 252 } + \frac{0.042 (1-\^ 0.042)}{ 476 } } }$

=> $z = 1.56$

From the z table the area under the normal curve to the right corresponding to 1.56 is

$P(Z > 1.56 ) =0.05938$

Generally the p-value is mathematically represented as

$p-value = 2 * P(Z > 1.56 )$

=> $p-value = 2 * 0.05938$

=> $p-value = 0.1188$

From the value obtained we see that $p-value > \alpha$ hence

The decision rule is

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is

There no sufficient evidence to show that the proportion of salmonella in the region’s water differs from the proportion of salmonella in the region’s wildlife
