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.

9y-5x=20 i dono how to do this x and y intercwpt thingy
bagirrra123 [75]
     9y - 5x = 20
or, (9y - 5x) / 20 = 1
or, 9/20 y - 1/4 x = 1
compare with x/a + y/b = 1
you'll get
x intercept (a) = -4
y intercept (b) = 20/9

If the value of a real number x satisfies -2x + 5= -1, then what is the value of 5x
Nitella [24]

-2x + 5 = -1

subtract 5 from both sides: -2x = -6

divide each side by -2: x = 3

plug in 3: 5(3)

multiply: 15

the value of 5x is 15.

John &amp; friends brought 4 bags of popcorn and 3 sodas at the movie for a total of 13.50. At the next movie John &amp; friend
scoray [572]

Answer:

The cost of 5 bags of popcorn and 2 sodas is 14.25 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Let x units be the cost of a popcorn bag and y units be cost of soda.

The cost of 4 bags of popcorn and 3 sodas is 13.50.

Thus, we can write the equation:

4x + 3y = 13.50

The cost of 2 bags of popcorn and 5 sodas is 12.00

Thus, we can write the equation:

2x+5y=12

Solving the two equations, we get,

4x + 3y-(4x+10y) = 13.5 - 24\\\Rightarrow -7y  =10.5\\\Rightarrow y = 1.5\\\Rightarrow 2x + 5(1.5) = 12\\\Rightarrow x = 2.25

Thus, the cost of popcorn bag is 2.25 units and the cost of a soda is 1.5 units.

Cost of  5 bags and 2 sodas

==5x+2y\\=5(2.25) + 2(1.5)\\=14.25

Thus, cost of 5 bags of popcorn and 2 sodas is 14.25 units.

From a group of 8 volunteers, including Andrew and Karen, 4 people are to be selected at random to organize a charity event. Wha
Helga [31]

Answer:

The correct option is D. 2/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

There are 8 volunteers including Andrew and Karen, 4 people are to be selected at random to organize a charity event.

We need to determine the probability Andrew will be among the 4 volunteers selected and Karen will not.

We want to select Andrew and 3 others but not Karen in the group.

Thus, the number of ways to select 3 member out of 8-2=6

(We subtract 2 from 8 because Andrew is already selected and we don't want Karen to be selected, so subtract 2 from 8.)

The required probability is:

\dfrac{^6C_3}{^8C_4}=\dfrac{\frac{6!}{3!3!}}{\frac{8!}{4!4!}}\\\\\\\dfrac{^6C_3}{^8C_4}=\frac{20}{70}\\\\\\\dfrac{^6C_3}{^8C_4}=\dfrac{2}{7}

Hence, the correct option is D. 2/7
