step 1
convert pounds to ton
1 ton------> 2204.62 lb
<span>each crate weighs 80 pounds
so
by proportion
1/2204.62=x/80
x=80/2204.62-----> x=0.036 ton
each crate weighs 0.036 ton

step 2
divide 2 ton by 0.036
2/0.036=55.11 crate----------> 55 crate

the answer is
</span>the greatest number of crates that can be loaded onto the elevator is <span>55 

alalternative method
</span>step 1
convert ton to pounds 
1 ton------> 2204.62 lb
a freight elevator has a weight limit of 2 ton
2 *2204.62 -----> 4409.24 lb

step 2
each crate weighs 80 pounds
divide 4409.24 by 80
4409.24/80=55.11 crate----------> 55 crate

Answer:

Null hypothesis: \mu \leq 300

Alternative hypothesis: \mu >300

When we talk about a type I of error we are refering to a“false positive” and is associated when we reject a null  hypothesis when it is actually true.

And for this special case would be reject the null hypothesis that the true mean is lower or equal than 300 [/tex]\mu\leq 300[/tex] but that in fact is true.

This type of error is associated to the significance level \alpha assumed for the statistical test

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we define the random variable X as the number of automobiles pass at a location per hour and we are tryng to proof this:

Null hypothesis: \mu \leq 300

Alternative hypothesis: \mu >300

When we talk about a type I of error we are refering to a“false positive” and is associated when we reject a null  hypothesis when it is actually true.

And for this special case would be reject the null hypothesis that the true mean is lower or equal than 300 [/tex]\mu\leq 300[/tex] but that in fact is true.

Select all of the following expressions that are equivalent to 9 to the 1/2 power
daser333 [38]

Step-by-step explanation:

x to the power of 1/2 means sqrt(x) (square root).

so, 9 to the power of 1/2 = sqrt(9) = 3.

therefore, we are looking for expressions that are also 3.

3 to the power of 1/2 = sqrt(3).

sqrt(3) × sqrt(3) = 3

this is correct

27 = 3×3×3

so, the cubic root would be 3 and correct, but the 6th root is incorrect.

27 to the power of 1/3 means the cubic root of 27, which is 3. but this is still multiplied by 3 to the power of 1/2 (sqrt(3)). so, the result is not 3 and therefore incorrect.

81 to the power of 1/2 = sqrt(81) = 9

9×9 = 81 and not 3. this is therefore incorrect.

729 to the power of 1/6 is the 6th root of 729, which is 3. this is therefore correct.

81 to the power of 1/3 means the cubic root of 81. but 81 is not a cubic number, and also multiplying this again with the cubic root of 81 is not 3. this is therefore incorrect.

81 to the power of 1/4 means the 4th root of 81. which is the square root of the square root.

the square root of 81 = 9. and the square root of 9 = 3.

3×3 = 9 and not 3. this is therefore incorrect.
