Part 1) Use the fact that there are 12 inches in a foot

a) How many inches tall is a 7 foot basketball player?

we know that

1 foot=12 inches

so by proportion

$\frac{12}{1} \frac{inches}{foot} =\frac{x}{7} \frac{inches}{feet} \\ \\x=12*7\\ \\x=84\ inches$

therefore

the answer Part 1a) is

$84\ inches$

Part b) If a yard is a 3 feet long, how many inches are in a yard?

we know that

1 yard=3 feet

1 foot=12 inches

so

Convert 3 feet to inches

by proportion

$\frac{12}{1} \frac{inches}{foot} =\frac{x}{3} \frac{inches}{feet} \\ \\x=12*3\\ \\x=36\ inches$

therefore

the answer Part 1b) is

$36\ inches$

Part 2) At the farmer's market two pounds of peaches cost $4.20 How much will five pounds cost?

by proportion

$\frac{4.20}{2} \frac{\$}{pounds} =\frac{x}{5} \frac{\$}{pounds} \\ \\2*x=4.2*5\\ \\x=4.2*5/2=\$10.5$

therefore

the answer Part 2) is

$\$10.5$

Part 3) Janice mother gave her a ten dollars bill to buy five pounds each of bananas and apples at the grocery store. When she got there she found that bananas were 80 c per pound and apples were $1.40 per pound.

Did Janice's mother give her enough money? If so, should she receive any change? If not, how much more money does she need?

we know that

Find the cost of the bananas

$5\ pounds*0.80\frac{\$}{pounds}=\$4$

Find the cost of the apples

$5\ pounds*1.40\frac{\$}{pounds}=\$7$

Sum the cost of the bananas and the cost of the apples

$\$4+\$7=\$11$

$\$11 > \$10$ ------> Janice's mother didn't give her enough money

She needs more money

She needs-------> $\$11-\$10=\$1$

therefore

the answer part 3) is

She needs $\$1$ more

Write the following equation in slope-intercept form 3x=-2y+4

Lorico [155]

The form is y=mx+b

3x=-2y+4 (add 2y)

3x+2y=4 (subtract 3x)

2y=-3x+4 (divide by 2)

y= -2/3x+2

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

The p-value for this test is 0.22065.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a national study report indicated that 20.9% of Americans were identified as having medical bill financial issues.

A news organization randomly sampled 400 Americans from 10 cities and found that 90 reported having such difficulty.

Let p = proportion of Americans who were identified as having medical bill financial issues in 10 cities.

SO, Null Hypothesis, $H_0$ : p $\leq$ 20.9% {means that % of Americans who were identified as having medical bill financial issues in these 10 cities is less than or equal to 20.9%}

Alternate Hypothesis, $H_A$ : p > 20.9% {means that % of Americans who were identified as having medical bill financial issues in these 10 cities is more than 20.9% and is more severe}
