Answer:

c = 360/n

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are told that:

The cost per ounce of a drink, c, varies inversely as the number of ounces, n.

Mathematically this is expressed as:

c ∝ 1/n

Using the constant of proportionality k

c = k/n

Six ounces of the drink costs 60 cents per ounce.

c =60 cents per ounce

n = 6 ounces

Mathematically we have

c = k/n

60 = k/6

Cross multiply to find the constant k

k = 60 × 6

k = constant of proportionality = 360

Therefore, using the mathematically expression "c = k/n" the equation that represents this relationship is

c = 360/n

$x^2+x= \frac{7}{4}$

Take one-half of the coefficient of x and square it, then add it to both sides.

$x^2+x+ (\frac{1}{4}) =\frac{7}{4}+ (\frac{1}{4})$

$x^2+x+(\frac{1}{4})= 2$

$\left(x+\frac{1}{2}\right)^2=2$

$x+\frac{1}{2}=\pm \sqrt{2}$
-----------------------------------------------------------------
$x+\frac{1}{2}=- \sqrt{2}$
$x=-\frac{1}{2}- \sqrt{2}$ <=

AND

$x+\frac{1}{2}= \sqrt{2}$
$x= \sqrt{2}-\frac{1}{2}$ <=

Answer:

The conclusion is that the researcher was correct

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The sample size is $n = 13$

The sample mean is $\= x = 9.63$

The standard deviation is $s = 0.585$

The significance level is $\alpha = 0.05$

The Null Hypothesis is $H_o : \mu = 0$

The Alternative Hypothesis is $H_a = \mu < 10$

The test statistic is mathematically represented as

$t = \frac{\= x - \mu }{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$

Substituting values

$t = \frac{9.63 - 10 }{\frac{0.585}{\sqrt{13} } }$

$t = - 2.280$

Now the critical value for $\alpha$ is

$t_{\alpha } = 1.645$

This obtained from the critical value table

So comparing the critical value of alpha and the test value we see that the test value is less than the critical value so the Null Hypothesis is rejected

The conclusion is that the researcher was correct
