You would need about 34  2/3 tablespoons of butter. Convert the fraction into an improper fraction, so 8/3. Then multiply that by 13 (you and your brother are included in the 15 people I suppose) and you get 104/3. Simplify that to get a mixed number and you have 34  2/3.

If you use 2 2/3 tablespoons for you and your brother, that means, you need 2 2/3 tablespoons for two servings, how many tablespoons for 15 servings then?

well  \bf 2\frac{2}{3}\implies \cfrac{2\cdot 3+2}{3}\implies \cfrac{8}{3}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\begin{array}{ccllll}
\textit{butter spoons}&servings\\
-----&-----\\
\frac{8}{3}&2\\
x&15
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{\frac{8}{3}}{x}=\cfrac{2}{15}\implies \cfrac{\frac{8}{3}}{\frac{x}{1}}=\cfrac{2}{15}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{8}{3}\cdot \cfrac{1}{x}=\cfrac{2}{15}\implies \cfrac{8}{3x}=\cfrac{2}{15}\implies 8\cdot 15=3x\cdot 2\implies 120=6x
\\\\\\
\cfrac{120}{6}=x\implies 20=x

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

- 6.547

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Sample size (n) = 1207

p = 0.85

p0 = 0.92

The test statistic :

Z = (p - p0) / √(p0(1 - p0) / n)

Z = (0.85 - 0.92) / √(0.92(1 - 0.85) / 1207)

Z = - 0.07 / √(0.92(0.15) / 1207)

Z = - 0.07 / √0.0001143

Z = - 0.07 / 0.0106926

Z = - 6.5465446

Z = - 6.547
