In the lab, Miguel has two solutions that contain alcohol and is mixing them with each other. He uses 400 milliliters less of So

lution A than Solution B. Solution A is 16% alcohol and Solution B is 20% alcohol. How many milliliters of Solution B does he use, if the resulting mixture has 476 milliliters of pure alcohol

Answer:

Amount of B used = 276.6 millimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

A = A millimeters

B = A + 400 millimeters

Hence

Taking an overall balance

(0.16 x A) + (0.2)(A+400) = 476

0.16A + 0.2A + 80 = 476

A = 1100 millimeters

B = 1100 + 400 = 1500 millimeters

Hence using direct proportion

2600 --------------------476

1500 ---------------------X

X = 276.61538

Amount of B used = 276.6 millimeters

In a study of the accuracy of fast food drive-through orders, McDonald’s had 33 orders that were not accurate among 362 orders o
melomori [17]

Answer:

A. We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion of inaccurate orders p is 0.1.

B. Null hypothesis:p=0.1  

Alternative hypothesis:p \neq 0.1  

C. z=\frac{0.0912 -0.1}{\sqrt{\frac{0.1(1-0.1)}{362}}}=-0.558  

D. z_{\alpha/2}=-1.96  z_{1-\alpha/2}=1.96

E. Fail to the reject the null hypothesis

F. So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we have p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the true proportion of inaccurate orders is not significantly different from 0.1.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=362 represent the random sample taken

X=33 represent the number of orders not accurate

\hat p=\frac{33}{363}=0.0912 estimated proportion of orders not accurate

p_o=0.10 is the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level

Confidence=95% or 0.95

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value (variable of interest)  

A: Write the claim as a mathematical statement involving the population proportion p

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion of inaccurate orders p is 0.1.

B: State the null (H0) and alternative (H1) hypotheses

Null hypothesis:p=0.1  

Alternative hypothesis:p \neq 0.1  

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.

C: Find the test statistic

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

z=\frac{0.0912 -0.1}{\sqrt{\frac{0.1(1-0.1)}{362}}}=-0.558  

D: Find the critical value(s)

Since is a bilateral test we have two critical values. We need to look on the normal standard distribution a quantile that accumulates 0.025 of the area on each tail. And for this case we have:

z_{\alpha/2}=-1.96  z_{1-\alpha/2}=1.96

P value

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 provided \alpha=0.05. The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

Since is a bilateral test the p value would be:  

p_v =2*P(z  

E: Would you Reject or Fail to Reject the null (H0) hypothesis.

Fail to the reject the null hypothesis

F: Write the conclusion of the test.

So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we have p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the true proportion of inaccurate orders is not significantly different from 0.1.

Explain the connection between factors of a polynomial, zeros of a polynomial function, and solutions of a polynomial equation.
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Solutions, zeros, and roots of a polynomial are all the same exact thing and can be used interchangeably.  When you factor a polynomial, you solve for x which are the solutions of the polynomial.  Since, when you factor a polynomial, you do so by setting the polynomial equal to 0, by definition of x-intercept, you are finding the zeros (don't forget that x-intercepts exist where y is equal to 0). There's the correlation between zeros and solutions.  

Since factoring and distributing "undo" each other (or are opposites), if you factor to find the zeros, you can distribute them back out to get back to the polynomial you started with.  Each zero or solution is the x value when y = 0.  For example, if a solution to a polynomial is x = 3, since that is a zero of the polynomial, we can set that statement equal to 0: x - 3 = 0.  What we have then is a binomial factor of the polynomial in the form (x - 3).  These binomial factors found from the solutions/zeros of the polynomial FOIL out to give you back the polynomial equation.

If you vertically compress the square root parent function f(x) = ^x, by 1/2 of a unit what is the equation of the new function
Naddik [55]

Answer:

The equation of the new function is g(x) = \frac{\sqrt{x}}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose we have a function f(x).

a*f(x), a > 1, is vertically stretching f(x) a units. Otherwise, if a < 1, we are vertically compressing f(x) by a units.

f(x - a) is shifting f(x) a units to the right.

f(x + a) is shifting f(x) a units to the left

In this question:

f(x) = \sqrt{x}

Vertically compressing by 1/2:

This is the same as multiplying the function by 1/2. So

\frac{1}{2} \times \sqrt{x} = \frac{\sqrt{x}}{2}

The equation of the new function is g(x) = \frac{\sqrt{x}}{2}
