pound, how many pounds of walnuts are in the mixture?

The cost of the mixture is $69 *$1 = $69. If all 69 pounds were peanuts, the cost would be 69*$0.99 = $68.31, which is $0.69 less. Each pound of walnuts used instead of peanuts adds $0.03 to the cost of the mixture, so there were $0.69/$0.03 = 23 pounds of walnuts. 
<span>_____ </span>
<span>Let w represent the number of pounds of walnuts in the mixture. Then 69-w is the number of pounds of peanuts. The cost of the mixture will be </span>
<span>1.02w + 0.99(69-w) = 1.00*69 dollars </span>
<span>0.03w + 68.31 = 69.00 </span>
<span>w = (69.00 - 68.31)/0.03 = 0.69/0.03 = 23</span>

Tony wants to estimate the number of bees in a beehive. He catches 100 bees from the hive and marks each one with a dye. He then
fredd [130]

Answer:

Number of total bees = 400

Step-by-step explanation:

He catches 100 bees from the hive and marks each one with a dye.

He later catches 60 and 15 were marked with the dye.

Its very to estimate from the data given.

I'll answer it with ratio.

We'll ratio number of bees with dye to total he caught the second day.

I.e 15:60 = 1:4

We'll multiply this ratio with the number he caught the first day to know the total.

1/4x =100

X = 100*4

X= 400

Where x is the total number of bees in the bee hive.

A recent study reported that high school students spend an average of 94 minutes per day texting. Jenna claims that the average
larisa [96]

Answer:

We have sufficient evidence to support the claim that the average for the students at Jenna's large high school is greater than 94 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jenna claims that the average time of texting at her larger high school is greater than 94 minutes per day.

From here we can see that we have to perform a hypothesis test about a sample mean. The null and alternate hypothesis will be:

Null Hypothesis: \mu \leq  94

Alternate Hypothesis: \mu > 94

Jenna collected data from a sample of 32 students. So, sample size will be:

Sample Size = n = 32

Sample Mean = x = 96.5

Sample Standard Deviation = s = 6.3

We have to perform a hypothesis test, to test Jenna's claim. Since, the value of Population Standard Deviation is unknown and the value of Sample Standard Deviation is known, we will use One Sample t-test in this case.

The formula to calculate the test statistic is:

t=\frac{x-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}

Using the values, we get:

t=\frac{96.5-94}{\frac{6.3}{\sqrt{32} } }=2.245

The degrees of freedom will be:

df = n - 1 = 32 - 1 = 31

We have to convert the t-score 2.245 with 31 degrees of freedom to its equivalent p-value. From t-table this value comes out to be:

p-value = 0.0160

The significance level is:

\alpha =0.05

Since, the p-value is lesser than the level of significance, we reject the Null Hypothesis.

Conclusion:

We have sufficient evidence to support the claim that the average for the students at Jenna's large high school is greater than 94 minutes.
