Smart enough to answer this question? Gracie, Mary, and Nancy each have a small collection of seashells. Gracie has 5 more than

1 1/4 times the number of shells Mary has. Nancy has 1 more than 1 1/2 times the number of shells Mary has. Gracie and Nancy have the same number of shells. If x is the number of shells Mary has, identify the equation that represents this situation and identify its solution. (isnt fraction is one and one fourths, second fraction is 1 and one halfs)

X = mary's shells
g = 1 1/4x + 5
n = 1 1/2x+ 1
g = n

1 1/4x + 5 = 1 1/2x + 1
5/4x + 5 = 3/2x + 1...multiply by common denominator of 4, this will get rid of fractions...however, this is optional...u can work with fractions if u wish.
5x + 20 = 6x + 4
5x - 6x = 4 - 20
-x = - 16
x = 16....so Mary has 16 shells

7. Use the quotient rule to simplify the following expression. Assume that x&gt;0.
NeTakaya
Quotient rule says we can divide 192 and 3 because they are both under the radical. This gives us the square root of 64.

We can also divide x^3 and x to get x^2.

The square root of 64x^2 is 8x

It is believed that 44% of all Americans eat breakfast every day. For a class project, you randomly select Clemson students and
GaryK [48]

Answer:

For this case we want to conduct a test in order to see if the proportion of Clemson students who eat breakfast is different from 0.44 (alternative hypothesis). And the complement would represent the null hypothesis, and the system of hypothesis for this case are:

Null Hypothesis: p =0.44

Alternative hypothesis: p \neq 0.44

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A hypothesis is defined as "a speculation or theory based on insufficient evidence that lends itself to further testing and experimentation. With further testing, a hypothesis can usually be proven true or false".  

The null hypothesis is defined as "a hypothesis that says there is no statistical significance between the two variables in the hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that the researcher is trying to disprove".

The alternative hypothesis is "just the inverse, or opposite, of the null hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that researcher is trying to prove".

Solution to the problem

For this case we want to conduct a test in order to see if the proportion of Clemson students who eat breakfast is different from 0.44 (alternative hypothesis). And the complement would represent the null hypothesis, and the system of hypothesis for this case are:

Null Hypothesis: p =0.44

Alternative hypothesis: p \neq 0.44
