Sasha spent 4 dollars more each pen costs 2 dollars.
6÷3 = 2

Answer:

Sasha spent $4 more than Malachi.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pens are selling at the rate of 3 pens for 6 dollars.

Therefore, cost of one pen = $\frac{6}{3}$

= $2

Now Sasha bought 3 pens so the cost of 3 pens = 3×2 = $6

Malachi bought 1 pen so Malachi spent for one pen = $2

Difference between Sasha and Malachi expenditure = $6 - $2

= $4

Therefore, Sasha spent $4 more than Malachi.

A local bottler in Hawaii wishes to ensure that an average of 22 ounces of passion fruit juice is used to fill each bottle. In o

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

(a) Null Hypothesis, $H_0$ : $\mu$ = 22 ounces

Alternate Hypothesis, $H_A$ : $\mu\neq$ 22 ounces

(b) The value of the test statistic is -2.687.

(c) The critical values are -1.96 and 1.96.

(d) We conclude that Reject $H_0$ since the value of the test statistic is less than the negative critical value.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a local bottler in Hawaii wishes to ensure that an average of 22 ounces of passion fruit juice is used to fill each bottle.

He takes a random sample of 65 bottles. The mean weight of the passion fruit juice in the sample is 21.54 ounces. Assume that the population standard deviation is 1.38 ounce.

<em>Let </em> $\mu$ <em> = average ounces of passion fruit juice used to fill each bottle.</em>

(a) So, Null Hypothesis, $H_0$ : $\mu$ = 22 ounces {means that the average of 22 ounces of passion fruit juice is used to fill each bottle}

Alternate Hypothesis, $H_A$ : $\mu\neq$ 22 ounces {means that the average different from 22 ounces of passion fruit juice is used to fill each bottle}

The test statistics that would be used here <u>One-sample z test statistics</u> as we know about the population standard deviation;

T.S. = $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\bar X$ = sample mean weight of the passion fruit juice = 21.54 ounces

$\sigma$ = population standard deviation = 1.38 ounce

n = sample of bottles = 65

So, <u><em>test statistics</em></u> = $\frac{21.54-22}{\frac{1.38}{\sqrt{65} } }$

= -2.687

(b) The value of z test statistics is -2.687.

(c) Since, in the question we are not given with the level of significance so we assume it to be 5%. Now, at 5% significance level the z table gives critical values of -1.96 and 1.96 for two-tailed test.

<em>Since our test statistics does not lie within the range of critical values of z, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region due to which </em><u><em>we reject our null hypothesis</em></u><em>.</em>

Therefore, we conclude that Reject $H_0$ since the value of the test statistic is less than the negative critical value which means that the average different from 22 ounces of passion fruit juice is used to fill each bottle.

Let II be the tangent plane to the graph of f(x, y) = 8 – 2x^2 – 3y^2 at the point (1, 2,-6). Let S, x² + y^2 + z = 4 be another

stealth61 [152]

Let $F(x,y,z)=f(x,y)-z$ . The tangent plane to $f(x,y)$ at (1, 2, -6) has equation

$\nabla F(1,2,-6)\cdot(x-1,y-2,z+6)=0$

We have

$\nabla F(x,y,z)=(-4x,-6y,-1)\implies\nabla F(1,2,-6)=(-4,-12,-1)$

Then the tangent plane has equation

$(-4,-12,-1)\cdot(x-1,y-2,z+6)=0\implies -4(x-1)-12(y-2)-(z+6)=0\implies 4x+12y+z=22$

Let $g(x,y)=4-x^2-y^2$ , and $G(x,y,z)=g(x,y)-z$ . The tangent plane to $S$ at a point $(a,b,c)$ is

$\nabla G(a,b,c)\cdot(x-a,y-b,z-c)=0$

We have

$\nabla G(x,y,z)=(-2x,-2y,-1)\implies \nabla G(a,b,c)=(-2a,-2b,-1)$

so that this plane has equation

$(-2a,-2b,-1)\cdot(x-a,y-b,z-c)=0\implies2ax+2by+z=2a^2+2b^2+c$

In order for this plane to be parallel to the previous plane, we need to have

$\begin{cases}2a=4\\2b=12\end{cases}\implies a=2,b=6\implies g(a,b)=c=-36$

so the point we're looking for is (2, 6, -36).
