Johnson family took a trip in July. The son wanted to calculate the gas mileage in miles per gallon for his Nissan truck. When h

e filled the tank, he recorded the mileage as 24,033 miles. It cost him $83.38 to fill his completely empty gas tank. Then If gas cost $3.79 per gallon, how many gallons of gas can his tank hold? Then When he got to their destination there was exactly ¼ that amount of gas left in the tank. The new mileage on the truck was 24,297 miles. Determine the gas mileage, in miles per gallon, for the trip. How many gallons were used? How many miles were driven? How many miles per gallon did his truck get?

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

initial mileage=24,033 miles.

cost to fill tank=$83.38

cost per gallon= $3.79

1. capacity of tank=83.38/3.79=22 gallons

remianing gas= 1/4*22= 5.5gal

gas used= 22-5.5= 16.5gal

new mileage= 24,297 miles.

mile covered= 24,297 miles.-24,033 miles.

=264miles

miles per gallon is =264/16.5

=16miles per gallon

What is the area of a circle if the diameter is 16 millimetres
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

201.1 mm²

Step-by-step explanation:

given that the diameter is 16mm,

radius = diameter ÷ 2 = 16÷2 = 8 mm

area of a circle is given by

A = πr², where

π=3.142

r = radius = 8 mm

Substituting these into the equation,

A = πr²

= 3.142 (8)²

= 201.088 mm²

= 201.1 mm² (rounded to nearest tenth)

If f(x) = 3x + 2 and g(x) = x2 – x, find each value.<br> 16. g(2) =<br> g(2) =
ElenaW [278]
<h3>Answer:  2</h3>

Work Shown:

g(x) = x^2 - x

g(2) = 2^2 - 2 ... replace every x with 2

g(2) = 4 - 2

g(2) = 2

In this case, we won't use f(x)

An airline's public relations department claims that when luggage is lost, 88% is recovered and delivered to its owner within 24
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

The hypothesis statements are: H0: p = 0.88 versus HA : p < 0.88

The p-value of the test is 0.2483 > 0.1, which means that the data does not provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of times that luggage is returned within 24 hours is less than 0.88.

Step-by-step explanation:

Test if the proportion of times that luggage is returned within 24 hours is less than 0. 88

At the null hypothesis, we test if the proportion is of 0.88, that is:

H_0: p = 0.88

At the alternate hypothesis, we test if this proportion is less than 0.88, that is:

H_a: p < 0.88

The hypothesis statements are: H0: p = 0.88 versus HA : p < 0.88

The test statistic is:

z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

In which X is the sample mean, \mu is the value tested at the null hypothesis, \sigma is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

0.88 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that \mu = 0.88, \sigma = \sqrt{0.88*0.12}

A consumer group who surveyed a large number of air travelers found that 138 out of 160 people who lost luggage on that airline were reunited with the missing items by the next day.

This means that n = 160, X = \frac{138}{160} = 0.8625

Test statistic:

z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

z = \frac{0.8625 - 0.88}{\frac{\sqrt{0.88*0.12}}{\sqrt{160}}}

z = -0.68

P-value of the test:

The p-value of the test is the probability of finding a sample proportion below 0.8625, which is the p-value of z = -0.68.

Looking at the z-table, the p-value of z = -0.68 is of 0.2483.

The p-value of the test is 0.2483 > 0.1, which means that the data does not provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of times that luggage is returned within 24 hours is less than 0.88.

Depends on how rich you are
if you are very rich, use meters (or yards)
