Answer:

396 miles / 22 gallons = 18 miles per gallon

468 miles / 18 miles = 26 gallons of gasoline

What I did is I took the number of miles and divided it by the number of gallons to find how many gallons of gasoline were used per mile. Then I took that number of miles and divided 468 by it because that's the number of gallons we are trying to find. We ended up with 26 gallons of gasoline for 468 miles.

Answer:

28.442 gallons for 468 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

First, make a proportion.

Let g be the amount of gasoline

$\frac{396}{22}=\frac{468}{g}$

Solve the proportion by cross multiplying.

362g=468×22

362g= 10296

Now divide by 362

g=10296/362= 28.442

The manager of a grocery store has taken a random sample of 100 customers. The average length of time it took the customers in t

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

The test statistic is c. 2.00

The p-value is a. 0.0456

At the 5% level, you b. reject the null hypothesis

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to test to determine whether or not the mean waiting time of all customers is significantly different than 3 minutes.

This means that the mean and the alternate hypothesis are:

Null: $H_{0} = 3$

Alternate: $H_{a} = 3$

The test-statistic is given by:

$z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

In which X is the sample mean, $\mu$ is the value tested at the null hypothesis, $\sigma$ is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

Sample of 100 customers.

This means that $n = 100$

3 tested at the null hypothesis

This means that $\mu = 3$

The average length of time it took the customers in the sample to check out was 3.1 minutes.

This means that $X = 3.1$

The population standard deviation is known at 0.5 minutes.

This means that $\sigma = 0.5$

Value of the test-statistic:

$z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

$z = \frac{3.1 - 3}{\frac{0.5}{\sqrt{100}}}$

$z = 2$

The test statistic is z = 2.

The p-value is

Mean different than 3, so the pvalue is 2 multiplied by 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when z = 2.

z = 2 has a pvalue of 0.9772

2*(1 - 0.9772) = 2*0.0228 = 0.0456

At the 5% level

0.0456 < 0.05, which means that the null hypothesis is rejected.

What are the values of a and b?

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Small triangles are similar. Therefore, the sides are proportional

$\dfrac{a}{20}=\dfrac{20}{21}$ <em>cross multiply</em>

$21a=(20)(20)$ <em>divide both sides by 21</em>

$a=\dfrac{400}{21}$

For b, we can use the Pythagorean theorem:

$b^2=\left(\dfrac{400}{21}\right)^2+20^2\\\\b^2=\dfrac{160000}{441}+400\\\\b^2=\dfrac{160000}{441}+\dfrac{176400}{441}\\\\b^2=\dfrac{336400}{441}\to b=\sqrt{\dfrac{336400}{441}}\\\\b=\dfrac{\sqrt{336400}}{\sqrt{441}}\\\\b=\dfrac{580}{21}$
