The ratio 1:50 means that an ant can carry an object heavy 50 times its mass.

So, if the mass of the ant is 0.4 grams, it can carry at most 50 times that mass, i.e. 50x0.4 = 20 grams

In order to answer the second question, you need to consider your mass and multiply it by 50: if you were as strong as an ant, you could lift that weight!

It takes a machine 15 hour to assemble a toy.

12 toys. Dividing 15 by 60 equals 4 so 4 tots in a hour. Then multiple the 4 toys an hour by 3 hours.

True or False:

atroni [7]

Answer:

no it can't because

Step-by-step explanation:

coz the sum of any two angle should be greater than 3rd side

13 + 5 = 18 which is greater than 7
13 + 7 = 20 which is greater than 5
5 + 7 = 12 which is not greater than 13

so triangle cant be made

A college infirmary conducted an experiment to determine the degree of relief provided by three cough remedies. Each cough remed

KiRa [710]

Answer:

$p_v = P(\chi^2_{4,0.05} >3.81)=0.43233$

Since the p values is higher than the significance level we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis at 5% of significance, and we can conclude that we don't have significant differences between the 3 remedies analyzed. So we can say that the 3 remedies ar approximately equally effective.

Step-by-step explanation:

A chi-square goodness of fit test "determines if a sample data matches a population".

A chi-square test for independence "compares two variables in a contingency table to see if they are related. In a more general sense, it tests to see whether distributions of categorical variables differ from each another".

Assume the following dataset:

NyQuil Robitussin Triaminic Total

No relief 11 13 9 33

Some relief 32 28 27 87

Total relief 7 9 14 30

Total 50 50 50 150

We need to conduct a chi square test in order to check the following hypothesis:

H0: There is no difference in the three remedies

H1: There is a difference in the three remedies

The level os significance assumed for this case is $\alpha=0.05$

The statistic to check the hypothesis is given by:

$\sum_{i=1}^n \frac{(O_i -E_i)^2}{E_i}$

The table given represent the observed values, we just need to calculate the expected values with the following formula $E_i = \frac{total col * total row}{grand total}$

And the calculations are given by:

$E_{1} =\frac{50*33}{150}=11$

$E_{2} =\frac{50*33}{150}=11$

$E_{3} =\frac{50*33}{150}=11$

$E_{4} =\frac{50*87}{150}=29$

$E_{5} =\frac{50*87}{150}=29$

$E_{6} =\frac{50*87}{150}=29$

$E_{7} =\frac{50*30}{150}=10$

$E_{8} =\frac{50*30}{150}=10$

$E_{9} =\frac{50*30}{150}=10$

And the expected values are given by:

NyQuil Robitussin Triaminic Total

No relief 11 11 11 33

Some relief 29 29 29 87

Total relief 10 10 10 30

Total 50 50 50 150

And now we can calculate the statistic:

$\chi^2 = \frac{(11-11)^2}{11}+\frac{(13-11)^2}{11}+\frac{(9-11)^2}{11}+\frac{(32-29)^2}{29}+\frac{(28-29)^2}{29}+\frac{(27-29)^2}{29}+\frac{(7-10)^2}{10}+\frac{(9-10)^2}{10}+\frac{(14-10)^2}{10} =3.81$
