Answer: the jar contains 29 dimes and 25 quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The worth of a dime is 10 cents. Converting to dollars, it becomes

10/100 = $0.1

The worth of a quarters is 25 cents. Converting to dollars, it becomes

25/100 = $0.25

Let x represent the number of dimes contained in the jar.

Let y represent the number of quarters contained in the jar.

A jar containing only dimes and quarters contains a total of 54 coins.. This means that

x + y = 54

The value of all the coins in the jar is $9.15. This means that

0.1x + 0.25y = 9.15 - - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 54 - y into equation 1, it becomes

0.1(54 - y) + 0.25y = 9.15

5.4 - 0.1y + 0.25y = 9.15

- 0.1y + 0.25y = 9.15 - 5.4

0.15y = 3.75

y = 3.75/0.15 = 25

x = 54 - y = 54 - 25

x = 29

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Null hypothesis: u <= 0.784

Alternative hypothesis: u > 0.784

2. Find the test statistics: z using the one sample proportion test. First we have to find the standard deviation

Using the formula

sd = √[{P (1-P)}/n]

Where P = 0.84 and n = 750

sd =√[{0.84( 1- 0.84)/750]}

sd=√(0.84 (0.16) /750)

SD =√(0.1344/750)

sd = √0.0001792

sd = 0.013

Then using this we can find z

z = (p - P) / sd

z = (0.84-0.784) / 0.013

z =(0.056/0.013)

z = 4.3077

3. Find the p value and use it to make conclusions...

The p value at 0.02 level of significance for a one tailed test with 4.3077 as z score and using a p value calculator is 0.000008254.

4. Conclusions: the results is significant at 0.02 level of significance suck that we can conclude that its on-time arrival rate is now higher than 78.4%.
