(15(.17)+.29x)/(15+x)=.23

2.55+.29x=3.45+.23x

.06x=.9

x=15

So 15L of the 29% solution was added to the 15L of 17% solution to make

30L of 23% solution.

Answer:

13,454,532 cups a day

Step-by-step explanation:

121212*888=107,636,256 8 fluid ounces in a cup so divide by 8 to get 13,454,532.

Find the horizontal asymptote off of x equals quantity 3 x squared plus 3x plus 6 end quantity over quantity x squared plus 1.

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

y = (3x² + 3x + 6) / (x² + 1)

The power of the numerator and denominator are equal, so as x approaches infinity, y approaches the ratio of the leading coefficients.

y = 3/1

A statistician is testing the null hypothesis that exactly half of all engineers will still be in the profession 10 years after

lana [24]

Answer:

95% confidence interval estimate for the proportion of engineers remaining in the profession is [0.486 , 0.624].

(a) Lower Limit = 0.486

(b) Upper Limit = 0.624

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a statistician is testing the null hypothesis that exactly half of all engineers will still be in the profession 10 years after receiving their bachelor's.

She took a random sample of 200 graduates from the class of 1979 and determined their occupations in 1989. She found that 111 persons were still employed primarily as engineers.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for 95% confidence interval for the population proportion is given by;

P.Q. = $\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\hat p$ = sample proportion of persons who were still employed primarily as engineers = $\frac{111}{200}$ = 0.555

n = sample of graduates = 200

p = population proportion of engineers

<em>Here for constructing 95% confidence interval we have used One-sample z proportion test statistics.</em>

So, 95% confidence interval for the population proportion, p is ;

P(-1.96 < N(0,1) < 1.96) = 0.95 {As the critical value of z at 2.5% level of

significance are -1.96 & 1.96}

P(-1.96 < $\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ < 1.96) = 0.95

P( $-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ < ${\hat p-p}$ < $1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ) = 0.95

P( $\hat p-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ < p < $\hat p+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ) = 0.95

<u>95% confidence interval for p</u> = [ $\hat p-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ , $\hat p+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ]

= [ $0.555-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.555(1-0.555)}{200} } }$ , $0.555+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.555(1-0.555)}{200} } }$ ]
