Answer:

Hi there!

Your answer is;

1) x= 13

2) x= 5

Step-by-step explanation:

x-5 = 8

3x+2= 17

x-5=8

x= 13

3x+2 = 17

-2

3x= 15

x= 5

Hope this helps

A recent study found that 51 children who watched a commercial for Walker Crisps (potato chips) featuring a long-standing sports

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

The claim is that the mean amount of Walker Crisps eaten was significantly higher for the children who watched the sports celebrity- endorsed Walker Crisps commercial

The kind of test to use is a t -test because a t -test is used to check if there is a difference between means of a population

$t = 3.054$

The p-value is $p-value = P(Z > 3.054) = 0.0011291$

The conclusion is

There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean amount of Walker Crisps eaten was significantly higher for the children who watched the sports celebrity- endorsed Walker Crisps commercial

The test statistics is

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The first sample size is $n_1 = 51$

The first sample mean is $\mu_1 = 36$

The second sample size is $n_2 = 41$

The second sample size is $\mu_2 = 25$

The first standard deviation is $\sigma _1 = 21.4 \ g$

The second standard deviation is $\sigma _2 = 12.8 \ g$

The level of significance is $\alpha = 0.05$

The null hypothesis is $H_o : \mu_1 = \mu_ 2$

The alternative hypothesis is $H_a : \mu_1 > \mu_2$

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

$t = \frac{\= x_1 - \= x_2}{ \sqrt{ \frac{s_1^2}{n_1} + \frac{s_2^2}{n_2} } }$

=> $t = \frac{ 36 - 25}{ \sqrt{ \frac{ 21.4^2}{51} + \frac{ 12.8^2}{41} } }$

=> $t = 3.054$

The p-value is mathematically represented as

$p-value = P(Z > 3.054)$

Generally from the z table

$P(Z > 3.054) = 0.0011291$

=> $p-value = P(Z > 3.054) = 0.0011291$

From the values obtained we see that $p-value < \alpha$ so the null hypothesis is rejected

Thus the conclusion is

There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean amount of Walker Crisps eaten was significantly higher for the children who watched the sports celebrity- endorsed Walker Crisps commercial

Helga [31]

Answer:

The correct option is D. 2/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

There are 8 volunteers including Andrew and Karen, 4 people are to be selected at random to organize a charity event.

We need to determine the probability Andrew will be among the 4 volunteers selected and Karen will not.

We want to select Andrew and 3 others but not Karen in the group.

Thus, the number of ways to select 3 member out of 8-2=6

(We subtract 2 from 8 because Andrew is already selected and we don't want Karen to be selected, so subtract 2 from 8.)

The required probability is:

$\dfrac{^6C_3}{^8C_4}=\dfrac{\frac{6!}{3!3!}}{\frac{8!}{4!4!}}\\\\\\\dfrac{^6C_3}{^8C_4}=\frac{20}{70}\\\\\\\dfrac{^6C_3}{^8C_4}=\dfrac{2}{7}$

Hence, the correct option is D. 2/7
