Fred has 36 strawberries and 42 blueberries. He wants to use them to garnish desserts so that each dessert has the same number o

f berries, but only one type of berry. He wants as much fruit as possible on each dessert. How many berries will be on each dessert? How many desserts with each type of fruit will he have?

6 berries on each dessert, 6 desserts of strawberries, 7 desserts of blueberries

timurjin [86]3 years ago

Answer:

There are 6 fruits in each dessert,

6 strawberry desserts and 7 blueberry desserts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The number of strawberries = 36,

Blueberries = 42,

∵ Each desserts of berries has the same number of berries but only one type of berries,

So, the number of fruits( either strawberry or blueberry ) in each dessert = HCF(36, 42)

= 6,

Now, the number of strawberry desserts

$=\frac{\text{Total strawberries}}{\text{strawberries in each dessert}}$

$=\frac{36}{6}$

= 6,

Similarly, the number of blueberries desserts = $\frac{42}{6}$ = 7.

Veronika [31]

Answer:

99% of the sample means will fall between 0.93288 and 0.94112.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

The true mean is .9370 with a standard deviation of 0.0090

This means that $\mu = 0.9370, \sigma = 0.0090$

Sample of 32:

This means that $n = 32, s = \frac{0.009}{32} = 0.0016$

Within what interval will 99 percent of the sample means fall?

Between the 50 - (99/2) = 0.5th percentile and the 50 + (99/2) = 99.5th percentile.

0.5th percentile:

X when Z has a pvalue of 0.005. So X when Z = -2.575.

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

By the Central Limit Theorem

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$-2.575 = \frac{X - 0.9370}{0.0016}$

$X - 0.9370 = -2.575*0.0016$

$X = 0.93288$

99.5th percentile:

X when Z has a pvalue of 0.995. So X when Z = 2.575.

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$2.575 = \frac{X - 0.9370}{0.0016}$

$X - 0.9370 = 2.575*0.0016$

$X = 0.94112$

99% of the sample means will fall between 0.93288 and 0.94112.

A tuter promises to improve GMAT scores of students by more than 50 points after three lessons. To see if this is true, the tuto

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

t48 = 1.7500

Step-by-step explanation:

A paired t-test is used to compare two population means where you have two samples in which observations in one sample can be paired with observations in the other sample. For example if we have Before-and-after observations (This problem) we can use it.

Let put some notation

x=test value before , y = test value after

The system of hypothesis for this case are:

Null hypothesis: $\mu_y- \mu_x \geq 50$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu_y -\mu_x >50$

We have the mean difference

$\bar d= \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n d_i}{n}=53$

And the sample standard deviation for the differences, is:

$s_d =\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (d_i -\bar d)^2}{n-1} =12$

Now we can calculate the statistic given by :

$t=\frac{\bar d -\Delta}{\frac{s_d}{\sqrt{n}}}=\frac{53 -50}{\frac{12}{\sqrt{49}}}=1.75$

Since we don't have the population standard deviaition we need to use the t distribution and we can calculate the degrees of freedom given by:

$df=n-1=49-1=48$

Now we can calculate the p value, since we have a right tailed test the p value is given by:

$p_v =P(t_{(48)}>1.75) =0.0432$

If we use a significance level of 5% we have that $p_v$ , and on this case we reject the null hypothesis . And we don't have enough evidence to conclude that the difference of means it's higher than 50 points.

There are 24 men and 36 women in a choir.

Molodets [167]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total members in the choir = 24 + 36 = 60

a) Percentage of men = $\frac{24}{60}*100$

= 4 * 10 = 40%

b) Percentage of women = 60%

c) Number of men =24 + 10 = 34 men

Number of women = 36 + 10 = 46

Total = 34 + 46 = 80

Percentage of men = $\frac{34}{80}*100= 42.5$ %

Percentage of women = (100 - 42.5)% = 57.5%
