P = 11

Add 20 to both sides to get 5p = 55.

Then divide by 5 to get 'p' by itself.

55 / 5 = 11.

Our current equation is:
5p - 20 = 35.
To solve for P, we need to get 5P by itself and then simplify if possible.
5p is not by itself yet.
Add 20 to both sides.
5p = 55.
Now to solve for p, since 5 is being multiplied by p, we need to do the opposite.
Divide both sides by 5.
p = 11 is your solution.
I hope this helps!

If you add all those #'s up you would get 72. The average money you need is $100 so you just subtract 100-72 and that would be your answer! :D

Answer:

Yes. There is enough evidence to support the claim that the remaining toothpaste is significantly is less than 10% of the advertised net content.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample of the remaining toothpaste is: [.53, .65, .46, .50, .37].

This sample has a size n=5, a mean M=0.502 and standard deviation s=0.102.

$M=\dfrac{1}{5}\sum_{i=1}^{5}(0.53+0.65+0.46+0.5+0.37)\\\\\\ M=\dfrac{2.51}{5}=0.502$

$s=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{(n-1)}\sum_{i=1}^{5}(x_i-M)^2}\\\\\\s=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{4}\cdot [(0.53-(0.502))^2+...+(0.37-(0.502))^2]}\\\\\\s=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{4}\cdot [(0.001)+(0.022)+(0.002)+(0)+(0.017)]}\\\\\\ s=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.04188}{4}}=\sqrt{0.01047}\\\\\\s=0.102$

The 10% of the advertised content is:

$0.10\cdot 6.0\;oz=0.6\:oz$

Hypothesis test for the population mean:

The claim is that the remaining toothpaste is significantly is less than 10% of the advertised net content.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

$H_0: \mu=0.6\\\\H_a:\mu< 0.6$

The significance level is 0.05.

The estimated standard error of the mean is computed using the formula:

$s_M=\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{0.102}{\sqrt{5}}=0.046$

Then, we can calculate the t-statistic as:

$t=\dfrac{M-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{0.502-0.6}{0.046}=\dfrac{-0.098}{0.046}=-2.148$

The degrees of freedom for this sample size are:

$df=n-1=5-1=4$

This test is a left-tailed test, with 4 degrees of freedom and t=-2.148, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a t-table):

$P-value=P(t$

As the P-value (0.049) is smaller than the significance level (0.05), the effect is significant.

The null hypothesis is rejected.

There is enough evidence to support the claim that the remaining toothpaste is significantly is less than 10% of the advertised net content.

A 28,000-gallon swimming pool is being drained using a pump that empties 700 gallons per hour. Which equation models this situat

Reika [66]

You can start by making a table that will permit you visualize the model. Start with 28,000 and subtract 700 hundreed step by step, in this way: 1) 28,000 - 700; 2) 28,000 - 2(700); 3) 28,000 - 3(700) ... then you can observe that after t hours the remaining number of gallos in the pool is 28,000 - 700t. So, the equation that models this situation is g(t) = 28,000 - 700t.
