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.

Which expression is equivalent to -36 - 8−36, 36, minus, 8? Choose 1 answer: Choose 1 answer: (Choice A) A -36+(-8)−36+(−8)minus
nordsb [41]

Answer:

Choice A: -36 + (-8)

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the equivalent expression to -36 - 8

The correct option is Choice A.

Choice A is -36 + (-8)

The reason is that the product of the signs + and - is -, i.e.

+ * - = -

Hence, + (-8) is the same thing as -8 and Choice A becomes -36 - 8

Answer:

x = 38

∠P = 26º

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angle in a triangle is 180

x + (x + 78) + (x - 12) = 180

Combine like terms

3x + 66 = 180

Subtract 66 from both sides

3x = 114

Divide both sides by 3

x = 38

-----------------------

∠P = x - 12

∠P = 38 - 12

∠P = 26º
