Answer:

40 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2><u>Calculating the number of girls?</u></h2>

we can make use of the ratio and the number of boys.

give the girls a variable ---x

use cross multiplication:

5          :        2

24 + x   :       x

the <em>24 + x means there are 24 more boys than girls</em>

5x = 2 ( 24 +x)

5x = 48 + 2x

<h3>make<em> x the subject of formula</em></h3>

5x - 2x = 48

3x = 48

x = 16

the number of girls are 16 .

the number of boys are:

16 + 24 = 40

<h3><u>there are 40 boys </u></h3>

A walk-in medical clinic believes that arrivals are uniformly distributed over weekdays (Monday through Friday). It has collecte
allsm [11]

Answer:

The degrees of freedom are given by;

df =n-1= 5-1=4

The significance level is 0.1 so then the critical value would be given by:

F_{cric}= 7.779

If the calculated value is higher than this value we can reject the null hypothesis that the arrivals are uniformly distributed over weekdays

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following observed values:

Mon 25 Tue 22 Wed 19 Thu 18 Fri 16 Total 100

For this case the expected values for each day are assumed:

E_i = \frac{100}{5}= 20

The statsitic would be given by:

\chi^2 = \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{(O_i-E_i)^2}{E_i}

Where O represent the observed values and E the expected values

The degrees of freedom are given by;

df =n-1= 5-1=4

The significance level is 0.1 so then the critical value would be given by:

F_{cric}= 7.779

If the calculated value is higher than this value we can reject the null hypothesis that the arrivals are uniformly distributed over weekdays
