Answer:

5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total 'halwa' made = 1

Divided into four equal portion = 1/4

Arrival of an unexpected guest = 1/5

By what percentage has each family member's share been reduced:

Change in the sharing proportion:

Previous share ratio - new sharing ratio

(1/4 - 1/5) = (5 - 4) / 20 = 1/20

That means total reduction in the sharing = 1/ 20

Since each member comes contributed equally:

Reduction in each family member's share ;

(1 / 20) ÷ 4

(1 / 20) * 1/4 = 1/ 80

Percentage reduction:

(Reduction / original share) * 100%

[(1/80) ÷ (1/4)] * 100

(1/80 * 4/1) * 100%

(1/20) * 100%

= 5%

Reduction in each family members share = 5%

] It is claimed that 42% of US college graduates had a mentor in college. For a sample of college graduates in Colorado, it was
Bad White [126]

Answer:

z=\frac{0.480 -0.42}{\sqrt{\frac{0.42(1-0.42)}{1045}}}=3.930  

The p value for this case would be given by:

p_v =P(z>3.930)=0.0000443  

For this case the p value is lower than the significance level so then we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis so then we can conclude that the true proportion is significantly higher than 0.42

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

n=1045 represent the random sample selected

X=502 represent the college graduates with a mentor

\hat p=\frac{502}{1045}=0.480 estimated proportion of college graduates with a mentor

p_o=0.42 is the value that we want to test

z would represent the statistic

p_v represent the p value

Hypothesis to test

We want to test if the true proportion is higher than 0.42, the system of hypothesis are.:  

Null hypothesis:p \leq 0.42  

Alternative hypothesis:p > 0.42  

The statistic is given by:

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

Replacing the info we got:

z=\frac{0.480 -0.42}{\sqrt{\frac{0.42(1-0.42)}{1045}}}=3.930  

The p value for this case would be given by:

p_v =P(z>3.930)=0.0000443  

For this case the p value is lower than the significance level so then we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis so then we can conclude that the true proportion is significantly higher than 0.42

A scale drawing of a school bus has a scale of 1/2 inch to 5feet. If the length of the school bus is 4 1/2 inches on the scale d
Sedaia [141]
Answer: actual length = 45 ft

Explanation:

Scale drawn:

1/2 inch = 5ft

Meaning that if the drawing scale is 0.5 inch then the actual bus would be 5ft.

If the length of the drawn school bus is 4 1/2 inches. We can write:

1/2 = 5
4 1/2 = x

=> x = (5 x 4 1/2)/1/2
Or x = (5 x 4.5)/0.5
x = 22.5/0.5
x = 45

Therefore the actual length of the bus is 45 ft

Tomika uses 6 1/9 inches of wire to make a necklace and 3 1/3 inches of wire to make a bracelet. How many necklace and bracelet
ser-zykov [4K]
One necklace and bracelet set is equal to 6 1/9 inches + 3 1/3 inches. That makes the total amount of wire in one set to be 9 4/9 inches. If you divide 28 1/3 by 9 4/9, you get 3.
85/3 * 9/85 = 255/85 = 51/17 = 3
