A caterer makes 15 3/4 quarts of tomato soup. He pours 2 cups of soup into each bowl. How many quarts of soup are in each bowl?

Sindrei [870]

<u>ANSWER: </u>

There are 0.5 quarts in each bowl. There are 31 fully filled bowls. And left over soup is 1 cup of soup.

<u>SOLUTION: </u>

Given, a caterer makes $15 \frac{3}{4}$ which is equal to $\frac{63}{4}$ quarts of tomato soup.

He pours 2 cups of soup into each bowl.

Now let us find how many quarts of soup are in each bowl?

We know that, 1 us liquid quart equals to 4 us cups.

Then, 1 quart = 4 cups

1 cup = $\frac{1}{4}$ quarts

Here, in each bowl caterer pours two cups,

So, 2 cups = $2 \times \frac{1}{4}$ quarts

$= \frac{1}{2} = 0.5 quarts$

Hence, there are 0.5 quarts in each bowl.

Now let us find how many 2-cup bowls of soup can the caterer fill to the top?

From above part, we know that, each bowl has 0.5 quarts.

Then, total bowls with 2- cups of soup = $\frac{\text {total soup}}{\text {soup in one bowl}}$

$=\frac{\frac{63}{4}}{\frac{1}{2}}$

$=\frac{63}{4} \times \frac{2}{1}$$=\frac{63}{2}$$=31.5$$

Here, 0.5 means that a bowl which is not filled to the top. So there are 31 fully filled bowls.

Now, let us find how many cups of soup are left over?

From above part we saw that, there are 31 fully filled bowls but there is a bowl with 0.5 quarts and which is not fully filled.

So, it is the amount of soup which is left over. i.e. 0.5 times of a bowl.

We know that, each bowl will have two cups.

Here left over bowl has half of it filled with soup

So the left over soup is 1 cup of soup.

You want to obtain a sample to estimate a population mean. Based on previous evidence, you believe the population standard devia

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

$n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2} \sigma}{ME})^2$ (3)

$n=(\frac{2.58(54.5)}{5})^2 =790.846 \approx 791$

So the answer for this case would be n=791 rounded up to the nearest integer

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

s represent the sample standard deviation

n represent the sample size

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

Since the Confidence is 0.99 or 99%, the value of $\alpha=0.01$ and $\alpha/2 =0.005$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.005,0,1)".And we see that $z_{\alpha/2}=2.58$
