Sarah would like to make a 6 lb nut mixture that is 60% peanuts and 40% almonds. She has several pounds of a mixture that is 80%

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

a. The system of equations that models the situation is....

$0.80x+0.50y=3.60\\\\ 0.20x+0.50y=2.40$

b. The solution to the system: x = 2 and y = 4

The amount of 80/20 mixture is 2 pounds and the amount of 50/50 mixture is 4 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose, the amount of 80/20 mixture is $x$ pounds and the amount of 50/50 mixture is $y$ pounds.

So, the amount of peanuts in 80/20 mixture $= 0.80x$ pound and the amount of almonds in 80/20 mixture $=0.20x$ pound.

And the amount of peanuts in 50/50 mixture $=0.50y$ pound and the amount of almonds in 50/50 mixture $=0.50y$ pound.

Now, Sarah would like to make a 6 pounds nut mixture that is 60% peanuts and 40% almonds.

So, the amount of peanuts in that mixture $=(6\times 0.60)=3.60$ pounds

and the amount of almonds in that mixture $=(6 \times 0.40)= 2.40$ pounds.

So, the system of equations will be.........

$0.80x+0.50y=3.60 ...................(1)\\\\ 0.20x+0.50y=2.40...................(2)$

Subtracting equation (2) from equation (1), we will get.....

$(0.80x+0.50y)-(0.20x+0.50y)=3.60-2.40\\ \\ 0.60x=1.20\\ \\ x= \frac{1.20}{0.60}=2$

Now, plugging this $x=2$ into equation (1), we will get......

$0.80(2)+0.50y=3.60\\ \\ 1.60+0.50y=3.60\\ \\ 0.50y=3.60-1.60=2\\ \\ y=\frac{2}{0.50}=4$

So, the amount of 80/20 mixture is 2 pounds and the amount of 50/50 mixture is 4 pounds.

It is desired to compare the hourly rate of an entry-level job in two fast-food chains. Eight locations for each chain are rando

notka56 [123]

Answer:

It can be concluded that at 5% significance level that there is no difference in the amount paid by chain A and chain B for the job under consideration

Step by Step Solution:

The given data are;

Chain A 4.25, 4.75, 3.80, 4.50, 3.90, 5.00, 4.00, 3.80

Chain B 4.60, 4.65, 3.85, 4.00, 4.80, 4.00, 4.50, 3.65

Using the functions of Microsoft Excel, we get;

The mean hourly rate for fast-food Chain A, $\overline x_1$ = 4.25

The standard deviation hourly rate for fast-food Chain A, s₁ = 0.457478

The mean hourly rate for fast-food Chain B, $\overline x_2$ = 4.25625

The standard deviation hourly rate for fast-food Chain B, s₂ = 0.429649

The significance level, α = 5%

The null hypothesis, H₀: $\overline x_1$ = $\overline x_2$

The alternative hypothesis, Hₐ: $\overline x_1$ ≠ $\overline x_2$

The pooled variance, $S_p^2$ , is given as follows;

$S_p^2 = \dfrac{s_1^2 \cdot (n_1 - 1) + s_2^2\cdot (n_2-1)}{(n_1 - 1)+ (n_2 -1)}$

Therefore, we have;

$S_p^2 = \dfrac{0.457478^2 \cdot (8 - 1) + 0.429649^2\cdot (8-1)}{(8 - 1)+ (8 -1)} \approx 0.19682$

The test statistic is given as follows;

$t=\dfrac{(\bar{x}_{1}-\bar{x}_{2})}{\sqrt{S_{p}^{2} \cdot \left(\dfrac{1 }{n_{1}}+\dfrac{1}{n_{2}}\right)}}$

Therefore, we have;

$t=\dfrac{(4.25-4.25625)}{\sqrt{0.19682 \times \left(\dfrac{1 }{8}+\dfrac{1}{8}\right)}} \approx -0.028176$

The degrees of freedom, df = n₁ + n₂ - 2 = 8 + 8 - 2 = 14

At 5% significance level, the critical t = 2.145

Therefore, given that the absolute value of the test statistic is less than the critical 't', we fail to reject the null hypothesis and it can be concluded that at 5% significance level that chain A pays the same as chain B for the job under consideration
