Answer: 1.460

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Researchers report that on average freshman who live on campus gain 15 pounds during their first year in college.

Let \mu represents the population mean .

Then, the set of hypothesis will be:-

H_0: \mu=15

H_a:\mu\neq15

We assume that this is normal distribution.

Sample size : n = 10, which is a small sample (n<30) ,s o we use t-test.

Sample mean : \overliene{x}=16.2\ lbs

Standard deviation : \sigma=2.6

The test statistic for population mean for small sample is given by :-

t=\dfrac{\overline{x}-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

t=\dfrac{16.2-15}{\dfrac{2.6}{\sqrt{10}}}=1.45951276623\approx1.460

Hence , the value of test statistic = 1.460

In a certain​ year, brand A of​ heart-rate watch cost ​$39.99 and brand B cost ​$59.99. A nonprofit community health organizatio
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

Brand A = 21 heart-rate watches.

Brand B = 13 heart-rate watches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the number of Brand A heart watches and B be the number of Brand B heart watches.

We have been given that a nonprofit community health organization purchased 34 ​heart-rate watches for use at a wellness center.

We can represent this information in an equation as:

A+B=34...(1)

We have been given that in a certain​ year, brand A of​ heart-rate watch cost ​$39.99 and brand B cost ​$59.99 and the organization spent ​$1619.66 for the​ watches.

We can represent this information in an equation as:

39.99*A+59.99*B=1619.66...(2)

We will use substitution method to solve our system of equations.

From equation (1) we will get,

A=34-B

Substituting A=34-B in equation(2) we will get,

39.99*(34-B)+59.99*B=1619.66

1359.66-39.99*B+59.99*B=1619.66

-39.99*B+59.99*B=1619.66-1359.66

20*B=260

B=\frac{260}{20}

B=13

Therefore, the organisation purchased 13 heart-rate watches of brand B.

Now let us substitute B=13 in equation (1).

A+13=34

A+13-13=34-13

A=21

Therefore, the organisation purchased 21 heart-rate watches of brand A.
