Answer:

a) 9 whole batches can be made

b) The cost of sugar for each batch = $0.26

Step-by-step explanation:

A 2-pound bag of sugar contains 227 one-teaspoon servings and costs $2.49.

This means:

2 pound bag of sugar = 227 teaspoon servings

2 pounds bag of sugar cost $2.49

We are told that:

A batch of muffins uses 1/2 cup of sugar.

a).How many whole batches can you make if you use as much of the sugar as possible?

(1 cup = 48 teaspoons)

Hence, A batch of muffins = 1/2 cups of sugar = 48 teaspoons of sugar ÷ 2

= 24 teaspoons of sugar

Hence:

24 teaspoons of sugar = 1 batch of muffins

227 teaspoons of sugar = x

Cross Multiply

24 × x = 1 × 227

x = 227/24

x = 9.4583333333 batches of muffins

We are asked to name the number of whole batches that can be made.

Therefore, 9 whole batches of muffins can be made

b) What is the cost of sugar for each batch? (do not consider leftover sugar in the cost calculation.) You can make a total of batches at $ per batch.

Since we are not to consider the leftover sugar in the cost calculation,

1 batch = 24 teaspoons of sugar

9 whole batches =

9 × 24 teaspoons = 216 teaspoons of sugar was used

The left over = 227 - 216 = 11 teaspoons of sugar is left

We know that:

227 teaspoons of sugar = $2.49

216 teaspoons of sugar = x

Cross Multiply

= 216 × $2.49/227

= $2.369339207

24 teaspoons of sugar = 1 batch of muffins

Therefore,

216 teaspoons of sugar =

$2.369339207

24 teaspoons of sugar =

24 × $2.369339207/ 216

= $0.2632599119

Approximately = $0.26

Therefore, the cost of sugar for each batch = $0.26

To test the belief that sons are taller than their​ fathers, a student randomly selects 13 fathers who have adult male children.
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

1) B. The differences are normally distributed or the sample size is large

C. The  sample size mus be large

E. The sampling method results in an independent sample

2) The null hypothesis H₀:  \bar x_1 =  \bar x_2

The alternative hypothesis Hₐ: \bar x_1 <  \bar x_2

Test statistic, t = -0.00693

p- value = 0.498

Do not reject Upper H₀ because, the P-value is greater than the level of significance. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that sons are the same height as their fathers  at 0.10 level of significance

Step-by-step explanation:

1) B. The differences are normally distributed or the sample size is large

C. The  sample size mus be large

E. The sampling method results in an independent sample

2) The null hypothesis H₀:  \bar x_1 =  \bar x_2

The alternative hypothesis Hₐ: \bar x_1 <  \bar x_2

The test statistic for t test is;

t=\dfrac{(\bar{x}_1-\bar{x}_2)}{\sqrt{\dfrac{s_{1}^{2} }{n_{1}}-\dfrac{s _{2}^{2}}{n_{2}}}}

The mean

Height of Father, h₁,  Height of Son h₂

72.4,      77.5

70.6,      74.1

73.1,       75.6

69.9,      71.7

69.4,      70.5

69.4,      69.9

68.1,       68.2

68.9,      68.2

70.5,       69.3

69.4,       67.7

69.5,       67

67.2,       63.7

70.4,       65.5

\bar x_1  = 69.6      

s₁ = 1.58

\bar x_2 = 69.9

s₂ = 3.97

n₁ = 13

n₂ = 13

t=\dfrac{(69.908-69.915)}{\sqrt{\dfrac{3.97^{2}}{13}-\dfrac{1.58^{2} }{13}}}

(We reversed the values in the square root of the denominator therefore, the sign reversal)

t = -0.00693

p- value = 0.498 by graphing calculator function

P-value > α Therefore, we do not reject the null hypothesis

Do not reject Upper H₀ because, the P-value is greater than the level of significance. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that sons are the same height as their fathers  at 0.10 lvel of significance

If y=a sin 3x+ b cos 3x and <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7Bd%5E%7B2%7D%20y%20%7D%7Bdx%5E%7B2%7D%20%7D" id="TexFormu
Black_prince [1.1K]

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to do first and second derivatives :

y = a sin 3x + b cos 3x

dy/dx = 3a cos 3x - 3b sin 3x

d²y/dx² = - 9a sin 3x - 9b cos 3x

Next, you have to compare it :

let d²y/dx² = ky,

-9a sin 3x - 9b cos 3x = k(a sin 3x + b cos 3x)

-9(a sin 3x + b cos 3x) = k(a sin 3x + b cos 3x)

Therefore, k is equals to 9.
