Let,
the no. of adults be "x"
then, the no. of childern = total people - total adults 
                                   = (30 - x)
Now,
According to the quesiton,
2 (30 - x) + 5x = 87
60 - 2x + 5x = 87
60 + 3x = 87
3x = 87 - 60
3x = 27
x = 27 / 3
x = 9

So, there were 9 adults in the group

Sarah claims that the thickness of the spearmint gum she produces is 7.5 one-hundredths of an inch. A quality control specialist
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

t=\frac{7.55-7.5}{\frac{0.103}{\sqrt{10}}}=1.539    

p_v =2*P(t_{(9)}>1.539)=0.158  

If we compare the p value and the significance level assumed \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to fail reject the null hypothesis.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation  

Data: 7.65, 7.60, 7.65, 7.7, 7.55, 7.55, 7.4, 7.4, 7.5, 7.5

We can begin calculating the sample mean given by:

\bar X = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}

And the sample deviation given by:

s=\sart{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}

And we got:

\bar X=7.55 represent the sample mean

s=0.103 represent the sample standard deviation

n=10 sample size  

\mu_o =7.5 represent the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)  

State the null and alternative hypotheses.  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean is equal to 7.5 or no, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu = 7.5  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu \neq 7.5  

If we analyze the size for the sample is < 30 and we don't know the population deviation so is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:  

t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}  (1)  

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".  

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:  

t=\frac{7.55-7.5}{\frac{0.103}{\sqrt{10}}}=1.539    

P-value

The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:  

df=n-1=10-1=9  

Since is a two sided test the p value would be:  

p_v =2*P(t_{(9)}>1.539)=0.158  

Conclusion  

If we compare the p value and the significance level assumed \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to fail reject the null hypothesis.

Triangle CDE is an isosceles triangle with angle d congruent to angle E if CD= 4x+9, DE= 7x-5, CE= 16x-27, find x and the measur
Montano1993 [528]
ANSWER

x = 3
CD= 21 \: units
DE= 16 \: units

CE= 21 \: units



EXPLANATION

It was given that ∆CDE is an isosceles triangle.

The length of the sides are given in terms of x as follows.

CD=4x+9


DE=7x-5


CE=16x-27



It was also given that, angle D is congruent to angle E.


This implies that, side CD and CE are equal.


Thus,

|CD|  =  |CE|
In terms of x, we have;

4x + 9 = 16x - 27


We group like terms to get,

16x - 4x = 9 + 27

12x = 36

Divide both sides by 12 to get,

x =  \frac{36}{12}

\therefore \: x = 3


The length of the sides are;

CD=4(3)+9 = 21 \: units

DE=7(3)-5 = 16 \: units


CE=16(3)-27 = 21 \: units
