Plug in 80 and have the seventh grade swimmers= s.

A patrolman spends 25% every day completing paperwork. The patrolman’s shift each day is 8 hours. How much of his time does he s
fredd [130]
Assuming the man works 8 hours straight without breaks:

25% is the same as 1/4 of something.

So, we just have to figure out what 1/4 (one quarter) of 8 equals.

You can think of it as a pizza cut into 8 slices. One slice is equivalent to one hour for the patrolman.

If we take away 1/2 (half) of the pizza, we have 4 slices, right? Since we start with 8 slices, half of that equals 4 slices. In other words, 50% (half) of the pizza = 4 slices.

Now, 25% (one quarter) of the pizza will equal half of what is left:

If we know that 50%=4 slices (or 4 hours), then 25% must be 2 slices (or 2 hours).

That's it! 25% of 8 hours = 2 hours.

***So, the patrolman spends 2 hours each day completing paperwork.***

Lets check our work:
We know 8 hours (or 8 slices)= 100%
(We know this because
8 slices = 1 whole pizza, or 100% of a pizza. Similarly,
8 hours = 1 whole shift or 100% of the man's shift ).

So

25% + 25% + 25% + 25% = 100%

If 100% of the mans shift = 8 hours:

2+2+2+2 = 8

It checks out!


Hope this helps!

Suppose a researcher is testing someone to see if he or she can tell Soda X from Soda​ Y, and the researcher is using 28 ​trials
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

The probability that a person will get 17 or more​ right, if the person is truly​ guessing, is about 12.9%.

The p-value is the probability of obtaining the observed results of a test, assuming that the null hypothesis is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The system of hypothesis fo this case are:

Null hypothesis: p\leq 0.5

Alternative hypothesis: p >0.5

That's a upper right tailed test.

The p-value is the probability of obtaining the observed results of a test, assuming that the null hypothesis is correct.

And this value allows to reject or not the null hypothesis.

If p_v we reject the null hypotheis at the significance level. That indicates strong evidence against the null hypothesis, so you reject the null hypothesis.

If p_v>\alpha then we say that we fail to reject the null hypothesis at the significance level. That indicates weak evidence against the null hypothesis, so you fail to reject the null hypothesis.
