Roland was driving to campus but realized that his car is out of gas. He started driving around Syracuse looking for a gas stati

on and comparing their gas prices, searching for the cheapest one. He drove by 50 different gas stations. He computed their average gas price to be $2.74 per gallon. Last year around the same time in November, the average gas price in the entire of Syracuse was $2.68 per gallon with the standard deviation of $0.11. Let's assume that the standard deviation hasn't changed since last year. Roland called his mom: Roland: "Mom, did you know that average gas prices have gone up since the same time last year?" Mom: "Are you sure, Roland?" Roland: "Yes, mom, 95% sure." Mom: "I don't think you're right." Who is right? Mom is right Roland is right

Answer:

Roland is right, he can be 95% sure that average gas prices have gone up since the same time last year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let μ be average gas price around Syracuse.

Then hypotheses are:

H_{0}: μ = $2.68

H_{a}: μ > $2.68

Then test statistic can be calculated as:

z=\frac{X-M}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{N} } } where

  • X  is the Roland's calculated average gas prices of 50 gas stations ($2.74)
  • M is the average average gas prices in the entire of Syracuse last year
  • s is the standard deviation ($0.11)
  • N is the sample size(50)

Then z=\frac{2.74-2.68}{\frac{0.11}{\sqrt{50} } } ≈ 3.86

Since P-value of test statistic ≈ 0.00006 <0.05  (significance level), we can reject the null hypothesis.

Holly and her 2 brst friends go to dinner. Their total bill is 31.84. They use a coupon for 15% off the total. If they split the
Tresset [83]
ANSWER:

$9.0.

Each person will owe $9.0.

STEP-BY-STEP SOLUTION:

Total amount of people:
= 3

Total bill:
= $31.84

Discount off total bill:
= 15%

Total bill after discount:
= 31.84 × ( 100% - 15% )
= 31.84 × 85%
= 27.064

Total bill after discount split evenly / Amount each person will owe:
= 27.064 ÷ 3
= 9.0213 ( 3 repeater )
= $9.0 ( rounded to the nearest tenth )

Use DeMorgan's laws to write a negation for the statement "the Hulk is green or the Iron Man is red"
erastova [34]

Answer:

"The Hulk is not green AND the Iron Man is not red"

Step-by-step explanation:

DeMorgan's laws state that the negation of an statement whose structure is "p OR q" is "not p AND not q", and similarly, that the negation of an statement whose structure is "p AND q" is "not p OR not q". The statement we want to negate in our case is "The Hulk is green OR the Iron Man is red". This is an statement whose structure is of the type "p OR q", where p would be "The Hulk is green", and q would be "the Iron Man is red". So according to DeMorgan's laws, its negation should be the statement "not p AND not q". To put them in common english, not p would be "The Hulk is NOT green", and not q would be "The Iron Man is NOT red". So the statement "not p AND not q" is simply "The Hulk is not green AND the Iron Man is not red".

In one baseball season Peter hit twice the difference of the number of home runs Alice hit and 6. altogether,they hit 18 home ru
Viktor [21]
<span>In a baseball season:
Peter hit = 2 (x - 6)
Total = 19 hits

X= Alex’s hit
Y = Peter’s Hit

=> Y = 2(x - 6)
=> x + y = 18
Let’s start from the second given equation:
=> x + y =18
=> y = 18 – x
Now, let’s use the first given equation to solve:
=> 18 – x = 2 (x - 6)
=> 18 – x = 2x – 12
=> -3x = -30
x = 10

Now, Let’s try:
=> Y = 2(x - 6)
=> y = 2 (10 - 6)
=> y = 2 (4)
=> y = 8

Thus, Peter hit 8 and Alice hit 10.</span>
