In an article appearing in Today’s Health a writer states that the average number of calories in a serving of popcorn is 75. To

determine if the average number of calories in a serving of popcorn is different from 75, a nutritionist selected a random sample of 20 servings of popcorn and computed the sample mean number of calories per serving to be 78 with a sample standard deviation of 7.
At the α = 0.05 level of significance, does the nutritionist have enough evidence to reject the writer’s claim?

a. No
b. Yes
c. Cannot determine

Answer:

t=\frac{78-75}{\frac{7}{\sqrt{20}}}=1.917  

The degrees of freedom are given by:

df= n-1 = 20-1=19

The p value would be given by:

p_v =2*P(t_{19}>1.917)=0.0704  

Since the p value is higher than the significance level we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean is not significantly different from 75 and the best option would be:

a. No

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

\bar X=78 represent the sample mean

s=7 represent the sample standard deviation

n=20 sample size  

\mu_o =75 represent the value that we want to test  

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

t would represent the statistic

p_v represent the p value

Hypothesis to test

We want to check if the true mean is different from 75, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu =75  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu \neq 75  

The statistic is given by:

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

Replacing we got:

t=\frac{78-75}{\frac{7}{\sqrt{20}}}=1.917  

The degrees of freedom are given by:

df= n-1 = 20-1=19

The p value would be given by:

p_v =2*P(t_{19}>1.917)=0.0704  

Since the p value is higher than the significance level we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean is not significantly different from 75 and the best option would be:

a. No

Out of 16 spins, a purple and red spinner landed on purple 9 times and on red 7 times. Based on the experimental probability, ho
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

Part A   Answer = A=28

Part B Answer is B = 9/16 + C =0.56

Step-by-step explanation:

1 = A. 28   This is because the percentage rate works out at 43.75%

2. 9/16 also, 0.56  This is because 9/16 has decimal 0.56 we can work this out by looking at the inverse of 1 ; 1= 16 16/9 = 1.77/3.17 which adds to 4.94 = 10 x 0.49  4 representing 4 from 20 =16 and 9 representing the proportion.

Answer:

popcorn=4$

soft drink=4.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

  • if we used omitting method:

1-we multiply (p+s=8.5) by (-2) so we could get rid of (s) and be leftover with (p)

so: (-2p-2s= -17)

2- we subtract this equation from (p+2s=13) and the result will be (-p= -4)

3- divide them by (-1) and the result is (p=4)

4-(p+s=8.5) ,substitute (p) with (4) and make it go to the other side with negative sign and the result of (s) is (8.5-4=4.5)

  • if we used substituting method:

1-(p+s=8.50), we will make (s) go to the other side with negative sign so the result is (p=8.50-s)

2-(p+2s=13.00), substitute (p) with (8.50-s):

(8.50-s+2s=13)

3- make (8.50) go to the other side with negative sign:

(s=13-8.50=4.5) and then you could get (p)
