Answer: 20 tons are still available before the bridge reaches its weight limit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The weight of one tractor = 80,000 pounds

Then, the weight of two tractors =2\times80,000=160,000\text{ pounds}

We know that 1 ton = 2,000 pounds

\Rightarrow\ 1\text{ pound}=\frac{1}{2000}\text{ton}

Therefore, 160,000\text{ pounds}=\frac{160,000}{2,000}\text{ tons}=80\text{ tons}

Thus, the weight of two tractors come upon a bridge  =80 tons

Since, the limit of bridge to handle the maximum weight of  100 tons.

∴ Number of tons still available before the bridge reaches its weight limit=

100-80=20\text{ tons}

Two tractor trailers would weigh 160,000 pounds, which is equal to 80 tons. 100-80= 20 tons that are still available.

rodikova [14]

Answer:

Catherine's sister ate 2/15 gallons of the ice cream.

\displaystyle \frac{2}{15}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount of ice cream that Catherine's sister ate, in gallons.

  • Original amount: 1 gallon.
  • What Catherine ate: \displaystyle \frac{1}{5} gallons.
  • What Catherine's sister ate is assumed to be x gallons.
  • What's left: \displaystyle \frac{2}{3} gallons.

Consider the relationship:

\text{Original amount - What Catherine ate - What Catherine's Sister ate}\\ =\text{ What's left.}.

That is:

\displaystyle 1- \frac{1}{5} - x = \frac{2}{3}.

Add x to both sides of this equation:

\displaystyle 1 - \frac{1}{5} = \frac{2}{3} +x

Substract \displaystyle \frac{2}{3} from both sides:

\displaystyle 1 - \frac{1}{5} - \frac{2}{3} = x.

Convert the denominator of all three numbers on the left-hand side to 3 \times 5 = 15

\displaystyle \frac{15}{15} - \frac{3}{15} - \frac{10}{15} = x.

\displaystyle x = \frac{2}{15}.

In other words, Catherine's sister ate \displaystyle \frac{2}{15} gallons of the ice cream.

Suppose that the mean water hardness of lakes in Kansas is 425 mg/L and these values tend to follow a normal distribution. A lim
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

The mean water hardness of lakes in Kansas is 425 mg/L or greater.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following data set:

346, 496, 352, 378, 315, 420, 485, 446, 479, 422, 494, 289, 436, 516, 615, 491, 360, 385, 500, 558, 381, 303, 434, 562, 496

Formula:

\text{Standard Deviation} = \sqrt{\displaystyle\frac{\sum (x_i -\bar{x})^2}{n-1}}  

where x_i are data points, \bar{x} is the mean and n is the number of observations.  

Mean = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observation}}

Mean =\displaystyle\frac{10959}{25} =438.36

Sum of squares of differences = 175413.76

S.D = \sqrt{\dfrac{175413.76}{24}} = 85.49

Population mean, μ = 425 mg/L

Sample mean, \bar{x} = 438.36

Sample size, n = 25

Alpha, α = 0.05

Sample standard deviation, s = 85.49

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

H_{0}: \mu \geq 425\text{ mg per Litre}\\H_A: \mu < 425\text{ mg per Litre}

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

Formula:

t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} }

Putting all the values, we have

t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{438.36 - 425}{\frac{85.49}{\sqrt{25}} } = 0.7813

Now, t_{critical} \text{ at 0.05 level of significance, 24 degree of freedom } = -1.7108

Since,                        

The calculated t-statistic is greater than the critical value, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and accept it.

Thus, the mean water hardness of lakes in Kansas is 425 mg/L or greater.
