The <em><u>correct answers</u></em> are:

7 mugs on each shelf; and 7 shelves for blue and 8 shelves for red.

Explanation:

To find the number of mugs that will fit on each shelf, we find the GCF (greatest common factor) of 49 and 56.  To do this, we find the prime factorization of each:

49 = 7(7)

56 = 7(8)

8 = 2(4)

4 = 2(2)

56 = 2(2)(2)(7)

The only common factor is 7, so this is the GCF.  This means that she needs to put 7 mugs on each shelf.

Since there are 49 blue mugs, she needs 49/7 = 7 shelves for them.

Since there are 56 red mugs, she needs 56/7 = 8 shelves for them.

A marketing research consultant hired by Coca-Cola is interested in determining if the proportion of customers who prefer Coke t
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

A one-tailed hypothesis will be used to perform the test.

Step-by-step explanation:

The purpose of the marketing research consultant hired by Coca-Cola is to determine whether the the proportion of customers who prefer Coke to other brands is over 50%.

The marketing research consultant selected a random sample of <em>n</em> = 200 customers. The sample proportion of people who favored Coca-Cola over other brands was 55%.

The marketing research consultant can perform a single proportion hypothesis test to determine whether greater than 50% of customers prefer Coca-Cola to other brands.

Since we need to determine whether the population percentage is greater than a null value, the hypothesis is not two-tailed.

The hypothesis can be defined as:

<em>H₀</em>: The proportion of people who favor Coca-Cola over other brands was 55%, i.e. <em>p</em> = 0.50.

<em>Hₐ</em>: The proportion of people who favor Coca-Cola over other brands was more than 55%, i.e. <em>p</em> > 0.50.

Thus, a one-tailed hypothesis will be used to perform the test.
