X=lottie's aples

give 1/4 of them to fred
origianly had 4/4, but gave 1/4 away so now has (3/4)x
eats 5 of them
(3/4)x-5
now she has 7 more than fred (fred has (1/4)x

so

(3/4)x-5 is 7 more than (1/4)x
(3/4)x-5=7+(1/4)x
add 5 to both sides
(3/4)x=12+(1/4)x
minus (1/4)x from both sides
(2/4)x=12
(1/2)x=12
times 2/1 both sides
2/2x=24
x=24

she had 24 to begin with

If you use a 0.10 level of significance in a two-tail hypothesis test, what is your decision rule for rejecting a null hypothesi
Dovator [93]

Answer:

Our decision rule will be to reject The null hypothesis H0 if the test statistic is less than -1.645, or if it is greater than +1.645.

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotheses would be;

Null hypothesis;H0: μ = 500

Alternative hypothesis;Ha: μ ≠ 500

Since it's two - tailed at 0.1 level of significance, then each tail will contain 5% or 0.05. From the z-table attached, the corresponding critical value of 0.05 is approximately 1.645 standard deviations from the mean.

Thus, our decision rule will be to reject The null hypothesis H0 if the test statistic is less than -1.645, or if it is greater than +1.645.

Hello. I need help on this question. Please answer if you know. Provide the answer with working. Thanks.
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

a) - 11x - 94y / 12    b)  x -4 / 5- 3x   c) 12x - 11 /10y

Step-by-step explanation:

a)  2x - 6y / 4    -  4y - x/ 12    -   4x - 20y /3

6x - 18y / 12 -     4y - x / 12              -  16x - 80y / 12

= 5x - 14y / 12     - 16x - 80y / 12

- 11x - 94y / 12

b) x /5 -    4/ 3x =  x -4 / 5- 3x

c) 2x -3/ 5y  -    5- 2x / 10y + x/y

4x - 6 /10y   -  5-2x/ 10y +  10x / 10y

2x - 11 / 10  + 10x / 10y

= 12x - 11 /10y
