You bought a large container of fruit punch. The label on the container says there are 128 fluid ounces of fruit punch in the co

1 cup=8oz
ratio
1:8=x:128
1/8=x/128
multiply both sides by 128
128/8=x
16=x

16 cups

Answer:

16 cups.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that a large container of fruit punch contains 128 fluid ounces of fruit punch in it.

We know that

8 fluid ounces = 1 cup

Divide both sides by 8.

1 fluid ounces = 1/8 cup

Now multiply both sides by 128

128× 1 fluid ounces = $128\times \frac{1}{8}$ cup

128 fluid ounces = 16 cup

Since container of fruit punch contains 128 fluid ounces of fruit punch in it, therefore there 16 cups of fruit punch in the container.

Kiyo bought a pizza for $12.75 and four medium drinks at Paola’s pizza. Define a variable and write an expression to represent t

Travka [436]

Y = total amount of money spent
x = cost of one drink

So our expression is:
4x + 12.75

4x stands for 4 drinks times x price of one drink
The 12.75 is a one time fee for the pizza, since Kiyo isn't buying multiple pizzas.

The problem also asks us to find the total price, so we write an equation:

$y = 4x + 12.75$
We insert what x is which in this case is $3
$y = 4(3) + 12.75$
Order of Operations tells us to multiply first:
$y = 12 + 12.75$
Now add your values:
$y = 24.75$
Therefore, Kiyo spent a total amount of 24.75 at Paola's pizza.

Let's check our problem just in case:

$24.75 = 4x + 12.75$
Since we now know what y is equal to, we can plug that into our original equation and check just to verify

We should subtract 12. on both sides of the equation because of inverse operations:

$24.75 - 12.75 = 12.75 - 12.75 + 4x$
We are left with:

$12 = 4x$
We divide:
$\frac{12}{4} = \frac{4x}{4}$
Our result is:
$3 = x$
Which checks out because each drink was in fact, $3 dollars as stated in the word problem. Hope that was thorough enough.

Marcelo scored 7 points for his basketball team. This was 20% of his team’s points. How many points did his team score?

baherus [9]

Answer:

35

Step-by-step explanation:

20% = 7

Therefore, 100% = Total Points By Whole Team

20% x 5 = 100%

7 x 5 = 35 Points

Suppose you are interested in the effect of skipping lectures (in days missed) on college grades. You also have ACT scores and h

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

a) For this case the intercept of 2.52 represent a common effect of measure for any student without taking in count the other variables analyzed, and we know that if HSGPA=0, ACT= 0 and skip =0 we got $colGPA=2.52$

b) This value represent the effect into the ACT scores in the GPA, we know that:

$\hat \beta_{ACT} = 0.015$

So then for every unit increase in the ACT score we expect and increase of 0.015 in the GPA or the predicted variable

c) If we are interested in analyze if we have a significant relationship between the dependent and the independent variable we can use the following system of hypothesis:

Null Hypothesis: $\beta_i = 0$

Alternative hypothesis: $\beta_i \neq 0$

Or in other wouds we want to check if an specific slope is significant.

The significance level assumed for this case is $\alpha=0.05$

Th degrees of freedom for a linear regression is given by $df=n-p-1 = 45-3-1 = 41$ , where p =3 the number of variables used to estimate the dependent variable.

In order to test the hypothesis the statistic is given by:

$t=\frac{\hat \beta_i}{SE_{\beta_i}}$

And replacing we got:

$t = \frac{-0.5}{0.0001}=-5000$

And for this case we see that if we find the p value for this case we will get a value very near to 0, so then we can conclude that this coefficient would be significant for the regression model .

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following multiple regression model calculated:

colGPA =2.52+0.38*HSGPA+0.015*ACT-0.5*skip

Part a

(a) Interpret the intercept in this model.

For this case the intercept of 2.52 represent a common effect of measure for any student without taking in count the other variables analyzed, and we know that if HSGPA=0, ACT= 0 and skip =0 we got $colGPA=2.52$

(b) Interpret $\hat \beta_{ACT}$ from this model.

This value represent the effect into the ACT scores in the GPA, we know that:

$\hat \beta_{ACT} = 0.015$

So then for every unit increase in the ACT score we expect and increase of 0.015 in the GPA or the predicted variable

(c) What is the predicted college GPA for someone who scored a 25 on the ACT, had a 3.2 high school GPA and missed 4 lectures. Show your work.

For this case we can use the regression model and we got:

$colGPA =2.52 +0.38*3.2 +0.015*25 - 0.5*4 = 26.751$

(d) Is the estimate of skipping class statistically significant? How do you know? Is the estimate of skipping class economically significant? How do you know? (Hint: Suppose there are 45 lectures in a typical semester long class).

If we are interested in analyze if we have a significant relationship between the dependent and the independent variable we can use the following system of hypothesis:

Null Hypothesis: $\beta_i = 0$

Alternative hypothesis: $\beta_i \neq 0$

Or in other wouds we want to check if an specific slope is significant.

The significance level assumed for this case is $\alpha=0.05$

Th degrees of freedom for a linear regression is given by $df=n-p-1 = 45-3-1 = 41$ , where p =3 the number of variables used to estimate the dependent variable.

In order to test the hypothesis the statistic is given by:

$t=\frac{\hat \beta_i}{SE_{\beta_i}}$

And replacing we got:

$t = \frac{-0.5}{0.0001}=-5000$

And for this case we see that if we find the p value for this case we will get a value very near to 0, so then we can conclude that this coefficient would be significant for the regression model .

A plumber had a pipe that was 2 yards long he cut 18 inches off the end of the pipe

balandron [24]

To convert yards to feet, you would multiply it by 3. So, since there the pipe is 2 yards long, you could multiply 2*3 to get 6 feet. Then you can convert feet to inches by multiplying it by 12. 6*12 is equal to 72, so 2 yards is equal to 72 inches. Lastly, you can subtract 18 from 72, to get 54, and 54 inches would be your final answer.
