Answer:

number of Roses = 60

number of carnations = 80

number of Lilies = 75

Step-by-step explanation:

Roses = $3.00

carnations = $1.00

Lilies = $2.00

Total order = 215

Let

x = number of Roses

y = number of carnations

z = number of Lilies

There are 15 more lilies than roses.

z = x + 15

The total of the order came to $410.00.

x + y + z = 215

3x + y + 2z = 410

substitute z = x + 15

x + y + x + 15 = 215

3x + y + 2(x+15) = 410

2x + y + 15= 215

3x + y + 2x + 30 = 410

2x + y = 215 - 15

5x + y = 410 - 30

2x + y = 200 (1)

5x + y = 380 (2)

Subtract (1) from (2)

5x - 2x = 380 - 200

3x = 180

Divide both sides by 3

x = 180/3

= 60

x = 60

Recall

z = x + 15

z = 60 + 15

= 75

z = 75

Substitute the value of x into (1)

2x + y = 200

2(60) + y = 200

120 + y = 200

y = 200 - 120

= 80

y = 80

Therefore,

x = number of Roses = 60

y = number of carnations = 80

z = number of Lilies = 75

A university interested in tracking its honors program believes that the proportion of graduates with a GPA of 3.00 or below is
insens350 [35]

Answer:

The value of the test statistic and its associated p-value at the 5% significance level are -1.54 and 0.9382, respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

A university interested in tracking its honors program believes that the proportion of graduates with a GPA of 3.00 or below is less than 0.16.

This means that the null hypothesis is:

H_{0}: p \geq 0.16

Testing this hypothesis, means that the alternate hypothesis is:

H_{a}: p > 0.16

The test statistic is:

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

In which X is the sample mean, \mu is the value tested at the null hypothesis, \sigma is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

0.16 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that \mu = 0.16, \sigma = \sqrt{0.16*0.84}

In a sample of 200 graduates, 24 students have a GPA of 3.00 or below.

This means that n = 200, X = \frac{24}{200} = 0.12

Value of the test statistic:

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

z = \frac{0.12 - 0.16}{\frac{\sqrt{0.16*0.84}}{\sqrt{200}}}

z = -1.54

Pvalue:

The pvalue is the probability of finding a sample mean above 0.12, which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of z = -1.54.

Looking at the z-table, z = -1.54 has a pvalue of 0.0618

1 - 0.0618 = 0.9382

The value of the test statistic and its associated p-value at the 5% significance level are -1.54 and 0.9382, respectively.

Naddika [18.5K]
<span>If you are spreading fertilizer on a golf course at the rate of 40 pounds per 10,000 square feet and the course is 320 acres, you can calculate the amount of fertilizer that will be needed by converting acres to square feet. So, 320 acres are 13,939,200 square feet which means you will need 55,756.8 pounds of fertilizer. </span>
