Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Her former rent is $ x

Twice the former rent: 2*x = 2x

$300 less than 2x: 2x - 300

2x - 300 = 550

Add 300 to both sides

2x - 300 + 300 = 550  + 300

                    2x = 850

Divide both sides by 2

               2x/2 = 850/2

x = 425

Her former rent = $425

In this question, the older and newer rents of a student in two apartments in given. And some conditions and information is also provided,

GiveN:

  • New rent = $ 550
  • This is $ 300 less than twice the previous

We have find her rent in the previous apartment.

Let her previous rent be $ x

Then according to question,

➝ $ 550 = 2x - $ 300

Adding $ 300 both sides,

➝ $ 550 + $ 300 = 2x

Flipping it,

➝ 2x = $ 850

➝ x = $ 425

So, The previous rent of the student:

\huge{ \boxed{ \bf{  \$  \: 425}}}

And we are done !!

In a study of the accuracy of fast food​ drive-through orders, one restaurant had orders that were not accurate among orders obs
Lesechka [4]

Complete Question

In a study of the accuracy of fast food drive-through orders, one restaurant had 32 orders that were not accurate among 367 orders observed. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the rate of inaccurate orders is equal to 10%. Does the accuracy rate appear to be acceptable?

Answer:

The decision rule  is

  Fail to reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is  

  There is sufficient evidence to show that the rate of inaccurate orders is equal to​ 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

Generally from the question we are told that

   The sample size is  n =  367

    The number of orders that were not accurate is  k = 32

    The population proportion for rate of inaccurate orders is  p = 0.10

The null hypothesis is  H_o :  p = 0.10

The alternative hypothesis is  H_a :  p \ne 0.10

Generally the sample proportion is mathematically represented as  

         \^ p = \frac{k}{n}

=>      \^ p = \frac{32}{367}

=>      \^ p = 0.0872

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

         z= \frac{ \^ p - p }{ \sqrt{ \frac{ p(1 - p)}{ n} } }

=>      z= \frac{ 0.0872  - 0.10 }{ \sqrt{ \frac{ 0.10 (1 - 0.10 )}{367} } }  

=>      z= -0.8174

From the z table  the area under the normal curve to the left corresponding to  -0.8174 is  

         P(z <  -0.8173 )  = 0.20688

Generally the p-value is mathematically represented as

         p- value =  2 *  0.20688

=>      p- value =  0.4138

From the value obtained we see that  p-value >  \alpha hence

The decision rule  is

  Fail to reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is  

  There is sufficient evidence to show that the rate of inaccurate orders is equal to​ 10%

The probabilty of getting an A in math is 0.65 and the probability of getting an a in science is 0.62 whats the probability of g
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

The probability of getting an a in both courses is 1.27

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of getting A in Math, P(M) = 0.6 5

Probability of getting A in Science, P(S) = 0.62

Required probability of getting A in both courses, P(M and S)

= P(M) + P(S)

= 0.65 + 0.62

= 1.27
