Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

A candle is 4 inches tall and burns at the rate of 0.6 inch per hour.

i.e. after 1 hour height of candle=4-0.6 inches

After 2 hours height of candle=4-0.6-0.6 inches

after x hours height of candle=4-0.6x

Also,

If the height of the candle after x hours is 1.5 inches

⇒  4-0.6x=1.5

⇒ 0.6x=4-1.5

⇒ 0.6x=2.5

⇒ x=2.5/0.6

⇒ x=4.166

Hence, equation to represent the situation. is:

4-0.6x=1.5

and the expected number of hours in which the candle  melted to 1.5 inches is:

4.166 hours

A manufacturer of paper coffee cups would like to estimate the proportion of cups that are defective (tears, broken seems, etc.)
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

a

  The 95% confidence interval is  0.0503  <   p < 0.1297

b

The sample proportion is  \r p =  0.09

c

The critical value is  Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  1.96

d

 The standard error is  SE   =0.020

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  sample size is  n =  200

     The number of defective is  k =  18

The null hypothesis is  H_o  :  p  =  0.08

The  alternative hypothesis is  H_a  :  p > 0.08

Generally the sample proportion is mathematically evaluated as

            \r p =  \frac{18}{200}

            \r p =  0.09

Given that the confidence level is  95% then the level  of significance is mathematically evaluated as

        \alpha  =  100 -  95

        \alpha  =  5\%

        \alpha  =  0.05

Next we obtain the critical value of  \frac{ \alpha }{2} from the normal distribution table, the value is  

        Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  1.96

Generally the standard of error is mathematically represented as

          SE   =  \sqrt{\frac{\r p (1 -  \r p)}{n} }

substituting values

         SE   =  \sqrt{\frac{0.09  (1 -  0.09)}{200} }

        SE   =0.020

The  margin of error is  

       E =  Z_{\frac{ \alpha }{2} }  * SE

=>    E =  1.96  *  0.020

=>   E =  0.0397

The  95% confidence interval is mathematically represented as

     \r p  -  E  <  \mu <  p <  \r p  + E

=>   0.09 - 0.0397  <  \mu <  p < 0.09 + 0.0397

=>  0.0503  <   p < 0.1297

Can someone help me its urgent:( ??
wariber [46]

Answer:

see the procedure

Step-by-step explanation:

Identify

Let

x ---> the cost of the Xbox one at Walmart

Strategy

we know that

The cost of the Xbox one at Walmart multiplied by 2 plus $50 must be equal to $450

Set up

The algebraic expression that represent this situation is

450=2x+50

Solve

solve for x

450=2x+50

2x=450-50\\2x=400\\x=\$200

Check

substitute the value of x in the equation

450=2(200)+50

450=450 ----> is ok

Which equation represents the graphed function?
umka2103 [35]

you know that (0,3) is a point and (1,1) is another point.

so now you have to replace them in the follow equations.

i did that and the right answer is the first equation => y=-2x+3

Solutions 

We know that <span>a spinner was divided into many different color sectors. Some sectors are larger than others. The spinner was spun 300 times. The results were tallied up and were written in a table. 

</span><span>Red:93

Blue:59

Green:105

Yellow:43
</span>
The spinner landed the highest on green. To find <span>the probability that the next spin will land on green we have add all the numbers and simplify them.  

93 + 59 + 105 + 43 = 300 

Out of 300 the spinner landed to green 105 times. We have the fraction 105/300. 

105/300 can be reduced. To reduce the fraction we need to the GCF of 105 and 300. The GCF is 15. 

</span>We can reduce the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by the GCF = 15. 

105 ÷ 15 = 7 

300 ÷ 15 = 20 

Our new fraction is 7/20 

The <span>probability that the next spin will land on green is 7/20.

<span>
To get the answer to part (B) we have to add the results of red and green then simplify. 

93 + 105 = 198 

The fraction is 198/300. </span><span>198/300 can be reduced. To reduce the fraction we need to the GCF of 105 and 300. The GCF is 6. 

</span>We can reduce the fraction by dividing <span>the numerator and denominator by the GCF = 6.

</span>198 ÷ 6 = 33

300 ÷ 6 = 50<span>

The new fraction is 33/50 

</span>The probability that the next spin will land on either green or red is <span>33/50.
