Javier asks his mother how old a tree in their yard is. His mother says, "The sum of 10 and two-thirds of that tree's age, in ye

ars, is equal to 50." Javier writes the equation (10 + two-thirds) a = 50, where a is the tree's age in years. His equation is not correct. What error did he make?

Answer:

His error is adding 10 and 2/3 before multiplying by a(age of the tree)

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of 10 and two-thirds of that tree's age, in years, is equal to 50.

Correct equation

Sum = addition (+)

two-thirds = 2/3

The tree's age = a

10 + 2/3a = 50

2/3a = 50 - 10

2/3a = 40

a = 40 ÷ 2/3

= 40 × 3/2

= 60

a = 60 years

Javier writes the equation

(10 + two-thirds) a = 50

(10 + 2/3)a = 50

(30+2/3)a = 50

32/3a = 50

a = 50 ÷ 32/3

= 50 × 3/32

= 150/32

a = 150/32

His error is adding 10 and 2/3 before multiplying by a(age of the tree)

SpyIntel [72]

Part 1: Do not reject H0. There has not been a significant change in the viewing audience proportions.(The above conclusion holds as the p-value is greater than the significance level of 0.05)

Part 2:

H0:  

Ha:  

Part 3: The test statistic is given as 3.0081.

Part 4: The p-value is given as  0.39037

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the data

Part 2

H0:  

Ha:  

Part 3

As per the sample is of 300 homes, the expected values are given as

ABC=p(ABC)*300=0.30*300=90

CBS=p(CBS)*300=0.27*300=81

NBC=p(NBC)*300=0.26*300=78

IND=p(IND)*300=0.17*300=51

Now the values actually are given as

ABC=94

CBS=71

NBC=88

IND=47

So the test static is given as

So the test statistic is given as 3.0081.

Part 4

Now the degree of freedoms are given as 4-1=3

and chi square  is given as 3.0081 so for α = 0.05 , the p-value is given as  0.39037

Part 1.

As the value of p in part 4 is greater than the value of α = 0.05, thus Do not reject H0. There has not been a significant change in the viewing audience proportions.(The above conclusion holds as the p-value is greater than the significance level of 0.05)
