The proportion that could be used to solve for the variable is:

\frac{7}{1.68}=\frac{p}{2.88} ; p = 12 ⇒ b

Step-by-step explanation:

Direct proportion means that two (or more) quantities increase or decrease in the same ratio

  • y = k x is the equation of direct proportion, where k is the constant of proportionality
  • \frac{y_{1}}{x_{1}}=\frac{y_{2}}{x_{2}}=k is the another way to write a proportion

The number of pencils and the cost of them is increased together or decreased together

∴ The number of the pencils and their costs are in direct proportion

- By using the 2nd rule above

∵ The cost of the 7 pencils is $1.68

∵ The cost of p pencils is $2.88

∴ \frac{7}{1.68}=\frac{p}{2.88}

The proportion that could be used to solve for the variable is: \frac{7}{1.68}=\frac{p}{2.88}

∵ \frac{7}{1.68}=\frac{p}{2.88}

- By using cross multiplication

∴ p × 1.68 = 7 × 2.88

∴ 1.68 p = 20.16

- Divide both sides by 1.68

∴ p = 12

The value of variable p is 12

at the market, a housewife bought 2 kilograms of eddoes at $5 per kilogram and 5 kilograms of chicken at $10 per kilogram. she p
madam [21]

Answer:

The total for the housewife's purchase should be 60 dollars. So it should be the vender who owes her money. The vender owes her 15 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

$5 = 1kg (eddoes) meaning a total of 2kg eddos =$10

$10 = 1kg (chicken) meaning a total of 5kg chicken = $50

When added together, it'd be 60 dollars.

A poll was taken this year asking college students if they considered themselves overweight. A similar poll was taken 5 years ag
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

At 5% significance level, it is statistically evident that    there is nodifference in the proportion of college students who consider themselves overweight between the two poll                                  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a poll was taken this year asking college students if they considered themselves overweight. A similar poll was taken 5 years ago.

Let five years ago be group I X and as of now be group II Y

H_0: p_x =p_y\\H_a: p_x \neq p_y

(Two tailed test at 5% level of significance)

                Group I            Group II              combined p

n                  270                 300                         570

favor            120                  140                          260

p                   0.4444            0.4667                   0.4561

Std error   for differene = \sqrt{\frac{0.4561(1-0.4561)}{570} } \\=0.0209

p difference = -0.0223    

Z statistic = p diff/std error =       -1.066

p value =0.2864

Since p value >0.05, we accept null hypothesis.

        At 5% significance level, it is statistically evident that    there is nodifference in the proportion of college students who consider themselves overweight between the two poll
