Answer:

8 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

So the first cycle is 3 up and 2 back  therefore in 1 minute he has climbed just 1 step. Then he  will climb to step 4 and drop back to step 2  (2 minutes)

then to 5 back to 3, (3 mins)  6 back to 4 (4 mins) , 7 back to 5 (5 mins) , 8 back to 6 (6 mins), 9 back to 7 ( 7 mins). But after climbing the last 3 he is on the top so will not slip back, so that will be a total of 8 minutes.

Answer: #1 is 10. #2 is 24. #3 is 3 1/5. #4 is 1 1/9. #5 is 21. #6 is 10 2/3. #7 is 30. #8 is 11 3/7. I’m only telling you eight of them because you are in fifth grade and you should try to complete the worksheet even if you mess up. You will learn from your mistakes after the paper is graded.


Step-by-step explanation: To get the answer, all you have to do is flip the second number and then multiply.

Answer:

Since the calculated value of z= -1.496 does not fall in the critical region z < -1.645 we conclude that the new program is effective. We fail to reject the null hypothesis .

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample proportion is p2= 7/27= 0.259

and q2= 0.74

The sample size = n= 27

The population proportion = p1= 0.4

q1= 0.6

We formulate the null and alternate hypotheses that the new program is effective

H0: p2> p1   vs  Ha: p2 ≤ p1

The test statistic is

z= p2- p1/√ p1q1/n

z= 0.259-0.4/ √0.4*0.6/27

z=  -0.141/0.09428

z= -1.496

The significance level ∝ is 0.05

The critical region for one tailed test is z ≤ ± 1.645

Since the calculated value of z= -1.496 does not fall in the critical region z < -1.645 we conclude that the new program is effective. We fail to reject the null hypothesis .
