A t-shirt launcher can launch 6 shirts in 30 minutes. What is the number of shirts per hour?

Ilya [14]

Answer:

12 shirts

Step-by-step explanation:

If a T-Shirt Launcher can launch 6 shirts in 30 minutes, that means it can launch 12 shirts in an hour, because there are 60 minutes in a hour, and 30 minutes is half os 60 minutes, so we just do 6 x 2 = 12.

The sodium content of a popular sports drink is listed as 200 mg in a 32-oz bottle. Analysis of 20 bottles indicates a sample me

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

The sample does not contradicts the manufacturer's claim.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Population mean, μ = 200 mg

Sample mean, $\bar{x}$ = 211.5 mg

Sample size, n = 20

Alpha, α = 0.05

Sample standard deviation, s = 18.5 mg

a) First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis for a two tailed test

$H_{0}: \mu = 200\\H_A: \mu \neq 200$

We use Two-tailed t test to perform this hypothesis.

b) Formula:

$t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} }$ Putting all the values, we have

$t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{211.5 - 200}{\frac{18.5}{\sqrt{20}} } = 2.7799$

c) Now,

$t_{critical} \text{ at 0.05 level of significance, 19 degree of freedom } = \pm 2.0930$

Since, the calculated t-statistic does not lie in the range of the acceptance region(-2.0930,2.0930), we reject the null hypothesis.

Thus, the sample does not contradicts the manufacturer's claim.

d) P-value = 0.011934

Since the p-value is less than the significance level, we reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternate hypothesis.

Yes, both approach the critical value and the p-value approach gave the same results.

A flying carpet flies 2.4 miles with the wind in the same amount of time it flies 1.4 miles against the wind. The wind speed is

Ainat [17]

Answer:

$15.2~mph$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the time flown by the flying carpet be $t$ . Then, we have that $(2.4)/t=(1.4)/t+2*4$ .

We multiply both sides of the equation by $t$ to get $2.4=1.4+8t$ .

We subtract $1.4$ from both sides to get $1=8t$ .

We divide both sides of the equation by $t=1/8$ .

We know that the speed of the flying carpet in still wind is the average of the rates of the speed of the flying carpet with the wind and against the wind.

The speed with wind is $(2.4)/(1/8)=19.2$ mph.
