Andrea has 18 yards of fabric. How many 4 inch pieces can she cut from her original place?

2 answers:

8 0

4inches = 1/3 of a foot (4inches x 3 = 12 inches) - so she can cut 3 out of each foot

1 yard = 3 feet - so she can cut 3 x 3 = 9 out of each yard

18 x 9 = 162 pieces

we know that

$1\ yard=36\ inches$

Step 1

Convert yards to inches

$18\ yards=18*36=648\ inches$

Step 2

Divide the total inches of fabric by $4$ to obtain the number of pieces that Andrea can cut from the original place

$\frac{648}{4}= 162\ pieces$

therefore

the answer is

$162\ pieces$

Triclosan is a compound often added to products such as soaps, lotions, and toothpaste. It is antimicrobial, so for that reason,

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

The appropriate alternative hypothesis is, Hₐ: p₁ - p₂ > 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case it is provided that Triclosan is a compound often added to products such as soaps, lotions, and toothpaste.

Since the compound is antimicrobial its corporate producer maintained that it should help prevent staph infections among people who use products containing the compound.

But a scientist wants to test whether the compound actually is associated with higher incidence of staph infection.

That is he wants to determine whether people with a detectable level of triclosan have higher rates of carrying the staph bacteria than people without triclosan.

Denote:

Group 1: people with a detectable level of triclosan

Group 2: people without a detectable level of triclosan

To test this the hypothesis can be defined as follows:

H₀: The proportion of people with a detectable level of triclosan does not have higher rates of carrying the staph bacteria than people without triclosan, i.e. p₁ - p₂ ≤ 0.

Hₐ: The proportion of people with a detectable level of triclosan have higher rates of carrying the staph bacteria than people without triclosan, i.e. p₁ - p₂ > 0.

Thus, the appropriate alternative hypothesis is, Hₐ: p₁ - p₂ > 0.

Meg surveyed some students at her school about their favorite professional sports. Of the students surveyed, 2 said football was

elixir [45]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming a total of ten students were asked, $\frac{2}{10}$ chose football and $\frac{8}{10}$ chose other sports. $\frac{2}{10}$ simplified is $\frac{1}{5}$ , so that's the experimental chance that the next student favors football.
