Answer:

See I don't know the answer but I did another one like this if it doesn't help you can report it no problem

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 different ways you can solve this problem and you'll get the same answer.

To help you visualize what you have to do, it might be easiest to translate your problem to a unit that easier to use.

Since you only have a ribbon 5 feet long, but you must cut it into 6 pieces, you know it won't even be 1 foot long.

One way to solve the problem would be to translate your 5-foot ribbon into a ribbon divided into inches.

1 foot = 12 inches

To find out how many inches long your ribbon is, you'll need to multiply the number of feet by 12.

Once you know that, then you can more easily divide it by 6. This will tell you how many inches each ribbon is.

Careful! the answer is to be put into feet so once you know how many inches long the ribbon is, you must then divide by 12 to get the correct answer in feet. Don't forget to round to the nearest tenth.

Another way to solve the problem is to simply divide the 5 feet by the number 6 and then round your number to the nearest tenth. It may be harder to visualize the answer this way, but you will get the same answer as if you translated your ribbon into inches and then divided by 12.

Good luck! I hope this helps!

If y is proportional to the sqaure root of x and y equal x when x equal 5,evaluate y when x eqaul 9.

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

$y = 3\, \sqrt{5}$ when $x = 9$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The question states that $y$ is proportional to $\sqrt{x}$ . In other words, there is a constant $a$ ( $a \ne 0$ ) such that $y = a\, \sqrt{x}$ for all $x \ge 0$ .

The question also states that $y = x$ when $x = 5$ . Make use of this equality to find the value of $a$ .

Since $x = 5$ and $y = x$ , it must be true that $y = 5$ . Substitute $x = 5\!$ and $y = 5\!$ into the equation $y = a\, \sqrt{x}$ and solve for $a$ :

$5 = a\, \sqrt{5}$ .

$\begin{aligned}a &= \frac{5}{\sqrt{5}} \\ &= \sqrt{5}\end{aligned}$ .

Thus, $y = \sqrt{5}\, (\sqrt{x})$ for all $x \ge 0$ .

Substitute in the value $x = 9$ to find the corresponding value of $y$ :

$\begin{aligned} y &= \sqrt{5} \, (\sqrt{9}) \\ &= \sqrt{5} \times 3 \\ &= 3\, \sqrt{5}\end{aligned}$ .

A teacher needs 256 lengths of string cut to 40cm each. If balls of string are 30M long, how many balls are needed?

Otrada [13]

First you need to work out how much string is needed -
256 pieces needed x 40cm each:
256 x 40 = 10240cm

Then, convert to metres (100cm = 1m)
10240 / 100 = 102.4m

Then, you work out how many balls are needed:
30 can fit into 102.4 3 times with .41m to spare. So, you need three balls of string, PLUS another one to cover the 41cm

So to conclude: 4 balls of string are needed.

Advandia is a drug used to treat diabetes, but it may cause an increase in heart attacks among a population already susceptible.

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

a) The proportions are not form matched-pairs data.

b) The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

There is not enough evidence to support the claim that there is evidence of a significant increase in the proportion of people who suffer heart attacks when using Avandia compared to other treatments.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Two data sets are "paired" when the following one-to-one relationship exists between values in the two data sets:

Each data set has the same number of data points.

Each data point in one data set is related to one, and only one, data point in the other data set.

None of this conditions apply in this case, so the proportions are not form matched-pairs data.

b) This is a hypothesis test for the difference between proportions.

The claim is that there is evidence to suggest that there is a significant increase in the proportion of people who suffer heart attacks when using Avandia compared to other treatments.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

$H_0: \pi_1-\pi_2=0\\\\H_a:\pi_1-\pi_2> 0$

The significance level is 0.05.

The sample 1 (Avindia treatment), of size n1=1456 has a proportion of p1=0.0185.

$p_1=X_1/n_1=27/1456=0.0185$

The sample 2 (other treatment), of size n2=2895 has a proportion of p2=0.0142.

$p_2=X_2/n_2=41/2895=0.0142$

The difference between proportions is (p1-p2)=0.0044.

$p_d=p_1-p_2=0.0185-0.0142=0.0044$

The pooled proportion, needed to calculate the standard error, is:

$p=\dfrac{X_1+X_2}{n_1+n_2}=\dfrac{27+41}{1456+2895}=\dfrac{68}{4351}=0.0156$

The estimated standard error of the difference between means is computed using the formula:

$s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_1}+\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_2}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.0156*0.9844}{1456}+\dfrac{0.0156*0.9844}{2895}}\\\\\\s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{0.00001+0.00001}=\sqrt{0.00002}=0.004$

Then, we can calculate the z-statistic as:

$z=\dfrac{p_d-(\pi_1-\pi_2)}{s_{p1-p2}}=\dfrac{0.0044-0}{0.004}=\dfrac{0.0044}{0.004}=1.1$

This test is a right-tailed test, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a z-table):

$P-value=P(z>1.1)=0.1358$

As the P-value (0.1358) is bigger than the significance level (0.05), the effect is not significant.

The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

There is not enough evidence to support the claim that there is evidence to suggest that there is a significant increase in the proportion of people who suffer heart attacks when using Avandia compared to other treatments.
