margo borrows $900.00 and must pay it back with 6% interest after 7 months. what is the total amount margo will pay back ?

ozzi

Answer:

$954

Step-by-step explanation:

6% = 0.06

Adding 1 to the interest makes it so it’s added to the original amount.

$900 x 1.06 = $954

two crates contain Apple's, pears and oranges. there are 184 apples and pears in crate one and 248 apples and oranges in the sec

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer: There are 152 apples.

The explanation is shown below:

- You need to write the following three equations, where $a$ is the the number of apples, $p$ is the number of pears and $o$ is the number of oranges:

1) $a+p=184$

2) $a+o=248$

3) $o=3p$

- You must substitute the equation 3) into the equation 2):

$a+3p=248$

- Now, you need to solve for $p$ in the equation 1) and then you must substitute it into $a+3p=248$ :

$p=184-a$

$a+3(184-a)=248$

- Solve for $a$ , as following:

$a+552-3a=248\\-2a=-304\\a=\frac{-304}{-2}\\a=152$

- Therefore, there are 152 apples.

Clarinex is a drug used to treat asthma. In clinical tests of this drug, 1655 patients were treated with 5- mg doses of Clarinex

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

$z=\frac{0.021 -0.012}{\sqrt{\frac{0.012(1-0.012)}{1655}}}=3.363$

$p_v =P(z>3.363)=0.00039$

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given $\alpha=0.01$ we have $p_v$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 1% of significance the proportion of interest is significantly higher than 0.012 (1.2%)

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=1655 represent the random sample taken

$\hat p=0.021$ estimated proportion of interest

$p_o=0.012$ is the value that we want to test

$\alpha=0.01$ represent the significance level

Confidence=99% or 0.99

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the p value (variable of interest)

Concepts and formulas to use

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that true proportions is higher than 0.012.:

Null hypothesis: $p \leq 0.012$

Alternative hypothesis: $p > 0.012$

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statisitic, and the is given by:

$z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}$ (1)

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion $\hat p$ is significantly different from a hypothesized value $p_o$ .

Calculate the statistic

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:

$z=\frac{0.021 -0.012}{\sqrt{\frac{0.012(1-0.012)}{1655}}}=3.363$

Statistical decision

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.

The significance level provided $\alpha=0.01$ . The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.

Since is a right tailed test the p value would be:

$p_v =P(z>3.363)=0.00039$

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given $\alpha=0.01$ we have $p_v$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 1% of significance the proportion of interest is significantly higher than 0.012 (1.2%)
