-5(3x – 1) – 20 = 7(5)

I need help with this word problem it’s urgent please help.

Starting with some solution of volume v and an alcohol concentration of 100c % , if you add 180 mL of 45% isopropyl to it, you get a mixture with a total volume of 180 mL + v.

Each mL of the starting solution contains c mL of alcohol. For example, if the concentration of the starting solution is 80% (so c = 0.8), then each mL contains 80% = 0.8 of one mL of alcohol.

Similarly, each mL of the added solution with 45% concentration contains 0.45 mL of alcohol.

You want the new solution to have a concentration of 70%, so that the ratio of the amount of alcohol in it to the total volume is 70%, meaning

cv + 0.45 (180 mL) = 0.7 (180 mL + v)

and you want to solve for v :

cv + 81 mL = 126 mL + 0.7v

cv - 0.7v = 126 mL - 81 mL

(c - 0.7) v = 45 mL

v = (45 mL) / (c - 0.7)

Judging by context clues, c lies somewhere between 0.7 and 1. (It can't be less than 0.7 because mixing this solution with any other solution of smaller concentration will never yield a solution of higher concentration.)

If, for example, c = 0.8, so that your starting solution is at 80% concentration, then you would need

v = (45 mL) / (0.8 - 0.7) = 450 mL

to be mixed with 180 mL of 45% solution to end up with 180 mL + 450 mL = 630 mL of 70% solution.

As another example, if you're mixing pure alcohol, so that c = 1, you would need

v = (45 mL) / (1 - 0.7) = 150 mL

to make a 180 mL + 150 mL = 330 mL batch of 70% solution. The fact that you would need less of a higher concentration solution is not surprising.

"Immediately after a ban on using hand-held cell phones while driving was implemented, compliance with the law was measured. A r

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

(a) Null Hypothesis, $H_0$ : $p_1-p_2=0$ or $p_1= p_2$

Alternate Hypothesis, $H_A$ : $p_1-p_2\neq 0$ or $p_1\neq p_2$

(b) We conclude that there is a statistical difference in these two proportions measured initially and then one year later.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a random sample of 1,250 drivers found that 98.9% were in compliance. A year after the implementation, compliance was again measured to see if compliance was the same (or not) as previously measured.

A different random sample of 1,100 drivers found 96.9% compliance."

Let $p_1$ = proportion of drivers that were in compliance initially

$p_2$ = proportion of drivers that were in compliance one year later

(a) Null Hypothesis, $H_0$ : $p_1-p_2=0$ or $p_1= p_2$ {means that there is not any statistical difference in these two proportions measured initially and then one year later}

Alternate Hypothesis, $H_A$ : $p_1-p_2\neq 0$ or $p_1\neq p_2$ {means that there is a statistical difference in these two proportions measured initially and then one year later}

The test statistics that will be used here is Two-sample z proportion statistics;

T.S. = $\frac{(\hat p_1-\hat p_2)-(p_1-p_2)}{\sqrt{ \frac{\hat p_1(1-\hat p_1)}{n_1} + \frac{\hat p_2(1-\hat p_2)}{n_2}} }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\hat p_1$ = sample proportion of drivers in compliance initially = 98.9%

$\hat p_2$ = sample proportion of drivers in compliance one year later = 96.9%

$n_1$ = sample of drivers initially = 1,250

$n_2$ = sample of drivers one year later = 1,100

(b) So, the test statistics = $\frac{(0.989-0.969)-(0)}{\sqrt{ \frac{0.989(1-0.989)}{1,250} + \frac{0.969(1-0.969)}{1,100}} }$

= 3.33

Now, P-value of the test statistics is given by;

P-value = P(Z > 3.33) = 1 - P(Z $\leq$ 3.33)

= 1 - 0.99957 = 0.00043

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 between -1.96 and 1.96 for two-tailed test.

Since our test statistics does not lies 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 we reject our null hypothesis.

Therefore, we conclude that there is a statistical difference in these two proportions measured initially and then one year later.
