Latrell bought 4 bags of powdered sugar. He got a total of 5 1/2 cups of sugar. How many cups of sugar were in each bag?

1 answer:

5 0

So all 4 bags of sugar yielded 5 and 1/2 cups..... well.. how many in each one? well, let's split the 5 and 1/2 evenly in 4 pieces.

$\bf \stackrel{mixed}{5}\frac{1}{2}\implies \cfrac{5\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{11}{2}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{\quad\frac{11}{2} \quad }{4}\implies \cfrac{\quad\frac{11}{2} \quad }{\frac{4}{1}}\implies \cfrac{11}{2}\cdot \cfrac{1}{4}\implies \cfrac{11}{8}\implies \stackrel{cups}{1\frac{3}{8}
}$

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

Since the null hypothesis is true, finding the significance is a type I error.

The probability of the year I error = level of significance = 0.05.

so, the number of tests that will be incorrectly found significant is computed as follow: 0.05 * 100 = 5

Therefore, 5 tests will be incorrectly found significant given that the null hypothesis is true.

Can someone plz help me

Illusion [34]

First rectangle:
Has 3 cubes in each 5 layers, and imagine it, so we have all dimension needed which is:
l=3 unit
w=1 unit
h=5 unit.
V=l×w×h
V=3×1×5
V=15 cubic inches.

Second rectangular:
Doing the same like that to get:
l=5 unit
w=1 unit
h=3 unit
V=15 cubic inches. As a result, there are no prism that are greater to each other, which mean that they have the same volume of 15 cubic inches. Hope it help!
