Answer:

S is the volume of the small cup, M the volume of the medium cup and L the volume of the large cup:

2*S + 2*M + 4*L = 160oz

2*S + 6*M + 1*L = 160oz

5*S + 1*M + 3*L = 160oz.

First, we must isolate one of the variables, for this we can use the first two equations and get:

2*S + 2*M + 4*L = 160oz = 2*S + 6*M + 1*L

We can cancel 2*S in both sides:

2*M + 4*L = 6*M + 1*L

now each side must have only one variable:

4*L - 1*L = 6*M - 2*M

3*L = 4*M

L = (4/3)*M.

now we can replace it in the equations and get :

2*S + 2*M + 4*(4/3)*M = 160oz

2*S + 6*M + (4/3)*M = 160oz

5*S + 1*M + 4M = 160oz.

simplifing them we have:

2*S + (22/3)*M +  = 160oz

2*S + (22/3)*M  = 160oz

5*S + 5*M  = 160oz.

(the first and second equation are equal because we used those to get the relation of M and L, so we now have only two equations):

2*S + (22/3)*M  = 160oz

5*S + 5*M  = 160oz.

We can take the second equation and simplify it:

S + M = 160oz/5 = 32oz

S = 32oz - M

Now we can replace it in the first equation and solve it for M

2*S + (22/3)*M = 2*(32oz - M) + (22/3)*M = 160oz

62oz - 2*M + (22/3)*M = 160oz

-(6/3)*M + (22/3)*M = 98oz

(18/3)*M = 98oz

M = (3/18)*98oz = 16.33 oz

Then:

L = (4/3)*M =(4/3)*16.33oz = 21.78 oz

and:

S = 32oz - M = 32oz - 16.33oz = 15.67oz

A hypothesis test was conducted to investigate whether the population proportion of students at a certain college who went to th
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

B. 0.0122

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given data the claim is:

"Proportion of students who went to the movie theater last weekend is greater than 0.2"

Since, the word "greater than" is used in the claim, this claim will be our alternate hypothesis and the hypothesis test will be a one-tailed test i.e. Right tailed test because of the word "greater than".

We are given that the hypothesis test was conducted for a random sample of 100 students and it yielded a z-value of 2.25. We have to find the p-value associated with this z-score

So, we have to find p-value corresponding to z-score of 2.25 and Right Tailed Test. We have to use z-table for this purpose and find the probability of z score being greater than 2.25. From the z-table this value comes out to be:

p-value = 0.0122

Therefore, option B gives the correct answer.

If x and y are different numbers from 1-50 what is the greatest possible value for (x+y)/(x-y)
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

99

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluate (x+y)/(x-y) for greatest possible value with the following constraints:

x ≠ y

1 ≤ x ≤ 50

1 ≤ y ≤ 50

To achieve greatest possible value:

Numerator should be as large as possible.

Denominator should be as small as possible without being negative.

x = 50

y = 49

= (50 + 49)/(50 - 49)

= 99/1 = 99

How do you complete this One-Step equation?<br>5 1/2 + p = 6
dalvyx [7]

5 1/2 + p = 6

subtract 5 /12 from each side

5 1/2  - 5 1/2+ p = 6 - 5 1/2

p = 6 - 5 1/2

borrow from the 6

p = 5 2/2 - 5 1/2

p = 1/2
