Answer:the fraction of Mary's garden that has tulips is 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the full area if Mary's garden.

Mary plants roses in 1/4 of her garden. This means that the portion of the garden on which she planted roses would be 1/4 × x = x/4

She also plants some tulips in her garden. She has 1/12 of the garden left to plant more flowers. This means that the portion if the garden that she has left to plant more flowers would be 1/12 × x = x/12

The portion of the garden on which she planted tulips would be

x - (x/4 + x/12) = x - (3x + x)/12 = x - 4x/12

x - x/3 = (3x - x)/3 = 2x/3

Therefore, the fraction of Mary's garden that has tulips would be

(2x/3) /x = 2/3

4.9t+0.3=5.6t+0.72 I need help on my work lol
Whitepunk [10]

The first step that we must take before attempting to solve the problem is to understand what the problem is asking us to do and what is given to us to help accomplish that goal.  Although it does not explicitly state that we must solve for t, this is usually what the problem statement would be asking if we just receive and expression like this.  What is given to us to accomplish that goal is the expression 4.9t+0.3=5.6t+0.72.

Now that we have completed that step, we can move onto the next part which is actually solving the problem.  The next step that we should take when solving for the unknown, in this case t, is to subtract 4.9t from both sides.

<u>Subtract 4.9t from both sides</u>

  • 4.9t+0.3=5.6t+0.72
  • (4.9t-4.9t)+0.3=(5.6t-4.9t)+0.72
  • 0.3=(5.6t-4.9t)+0.72
  • 0.3=(0.7t)+0.72

Now that we got all of the t's to one side, let us isolate t completely and the next step that we should take is to subtract 0.72 from both sides.

<u>Subtract 0.72 from both sides</u>

  • 0.3=0.7t+0.72
  • 0.3 - 0.72=0.7t+0.72 - 0.72
  • 0.3 - 0.72=0.7t
  • -0.42=0.7t

The final step that we need to take to isolate t would be to divide both sides by 0.7 which would remove the coefficient from the unknown variable t and divide 0.7 from -0.42

<u>Divide both sides by 0.7</u>

  • -0.42=0.7t
  • \frac{-0.42}{0.7}=\frac{0.7t}{0.7}
  • \frac{-0.42}{0.7}=t
  • -0.6=t

Therefore, after fully narrowing down the solution we were able to determine that the solution of the unknown variable or t is equal to -0.6

A researcher is 95% confident that the interval from 5.2 hours to 7.8 hours captures u = the true mean amount of time
igor_vitrenko [27]
<h3>Answer: Choice B</h3>

No, this is not a plausible value for the population mean, because 5 is not within the 95% confidence interval.

====================================================

Explanation:

The greek letter mu is the population mean. It has the symbol \mu which looks like the letter 'u' but with a tail at the front or left side.

The question is asking if mu = 5 is plausible if the researcher found the 95% confidence interval to be 5.2 < mu < 7.8

We see that 5 is <u>not</u> in that interval. It's a bit to the left of 5.2

Since mu = 5 is not in the interval, it's not a plausible value for the population mean.

Have we ruled it out with 100% confidence? No. Such a thing is not possible. There's always room for (slight) error. The researcher would need to do a census to be fully confident; however, such practices are very time consuming and expensive. This is the main reason why statistics is important to try to estimate the population with a sample.

8. A company makes electronic components for TV's. 95% pass final inspection (and 5% fail and need to be fixed). 120 components
Taya2010 [7]

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that the variance of the number that pass inspection in one day is 5.7.

For each component, there are only two possible outcomes, either it passes inspection, or it does not. The probability of a component passing inspections is independent of any other component, hence, the binomial distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of <u>exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability</u>, and has variance given by:

V(X) = np(1 - p)

In this problem:

  • 95% pass final inspection, hence p = 0.95
  • 120 components are inspected in one day, hence n = 120.

The variance is given by:

V(X) = np(1 - p) = 120(0.95)(0.05) = 5.7

The variance of the number that pass inspection in one day is 5.7.
