Carolos is baking bread and uses 3/8 cup of sugar in one load and is making 6 loafs so how much sugar die he use:

1 answer:

5 0

If Carolos uses 3/8 cups of sugar for 1 loaf, then he will use 3/8×6 cups of sugar for 6 loafs.
$\frac{3}{8} \times 6 = \frac{18}{8} = 2 \frac{2}{8} = 2 \frac{1}{4}$
Therefore, Carolos used 2 1/4 cups of sugar to make 6 loafs.

Two trains leave stations 288 miles apart at the same time and travel towards each other. One train travels at 95 miles per hour

erma4kov [3.2K]

95x=85x+288
You could add 288 to any side, it just shows that they're 288 miles apart.
Let's subtract 85x from both sides.
10x=288
28.8=x
It'll take 28.8 hours for the trains to meet. Let's make sure.
28.8×95
2,736
28.8×85
2,448
2,736-2,448
288
So, they'll meet up after 28.8 miles.

At Western University the historical mean of scholarship examination scores for freshman applications is 900. A historical popul

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

a) Null Hypothesis: $\mu =900$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu \neq 900$

b) The 95% confidence interval would be given by (910.05;959.95)

c) Since we confidence interval not ocntains the value of 900 we fail to reject the null hypothesis that the true mean is 900.

d) $z=\frac{935 -900}{\frac{180}{\sqrt{200}}}=2.750$

Since is a bilateral test the p value is given by:

$p_v =2*P(Z>2.750)=0.0059$

Step-by-step explanation:

a. State the hypotheses.

On this case we want to check the following system of hypothesis:

Null Hypothesis: $\mu =900$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu \neq 900$

b. What is the 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean examination score if a sample of 200 applications provided a sample mean x¯¯¯= 935?

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X=935$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

$\sigma=180$ represent the population standard deviation

n=200 represent the sample size

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

In order to calculate the mean and the sample deviation we can use the following formulas:

$\bar X= \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{x_i}{n}$ (2)

$s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i-\bar X)}{n-1}}$ (3)

The mean calculated for this case is $\bar X=3278.222$

The sample deviation calculated $s=97.054$

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of $\alpha=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.025,0,1)".And we see that $z_{\alpha/2}=1.96$

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

$935-1.96\frac{180}{\sqrt{200}}=910.05$

$935+1.96\frac{180}{\sqrt{200}}=959.95$

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (910.05;959.95)

c. Use the confidence interval to conduct a hypothesis test. Using α= .05, what is your conclusion?

Since we confidence interval not ocntains the value of 900 we fail to reject the null hypothesis that the true mean is 900.

d. What is the p-value?

The statistic is given by:

$z=\frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

If we replace we got:

$z=\frac{935 -900}{\frac{180}{\sqrt{200}}}=2.750$

Since is a bilateral test the p value is given by:

$p_v =2*P(Z>2.750)=0.0059$

So then since the p value is less than the significance we can reject the null hypothesis at 5% of significance.

I have 10 goats, n of which are male. I need to choose 2 of them to make a casserole.

snow_tiger [21]

Answer: There are 4 male goats.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that n of the 10 goats are male.

The probability that in a random selection, the selected goat is a male, is equal to the quotient between the number of male goats (n) and the total number of goats (10)

The probability is;

p = n/10

Now the total number of goats is 9, and the number of male goats is n -1

then the probability of selecting a male goat again is:

q = (n-1)/9

The joint probability (the probability that the two selected goats are male) is equal to the product of the individual probabilities, this is

P = p*q = (n/10)*((n-1)/9)

And we know that this probability is equal to 2/15

Then we have:

(n/10)*((n-1)/9) = 2/15

(n*(n-1))/90 = 2/15

n*(n-1) = 90*2/15 = 12

n^2 - n = 12

n^2 - n - 12 = 0

This is a quadratic equation, we can find the solutions if we use Bhaskara's formula:

For an equation:

a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0

The two solutions are given by:

$x = \frac{-b +- \sqrt{b^2 - 4*a*c} }{2*a}$

For our case, the solutions will be:

$n = \frac{1 +- \sqrt{(-1)^2 - 4*1*(-12)} }{2*1 } = \frac{1+- 7}{2}$

The two solutions are:

n = (1 - 7)/2 = -3 (this solution does not make sense, we can not have a negative number of goats)

The other solution is:

n = (1 + 7)/2 = 4

This solution does make sense, this means that we have 4 male goats.
