4*124 = 496
11*45 = 495

Fill the 124-gallon jug 4 times, emptying it each time into the 45-gallon jug. After the 45-gallon jug has been filled 11 times, there will be 1 gallon remaining in the 124-gallon jug.

_____
Mathematically, this works fine. In practice, you're looking for a 1-gallon difference after handling 495 gallons of water. That's about 0.2% of the total amount of water transferred. Any error along the way will substantially affect the outcome.

Pour 4  times of 124-gallon into a big jug.
Amount of water = 124 x 4 = 496 gallons

Then use the 45-gallon jug to scoop out the water 11 times.
Amount of water scooped out = 11 x 45 = 455 gallons

Water remaining = 496 - 450 = 1 gallon.

brilliants [131]

Answer:

Independent-samples t-test.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are looking for the appropriate design for testing the significance of the difference between the means.

Now, there is a parametric test known as the Independent Samples t Test and what this test does is that it compares the mean of two independent groups in order to find out whether there is statistical evidence that the related population mean is significantly different.

Thus, the test to be used here is Independent-samples t-test.

The school band is selling items to raise​ $9,500 for a trip. For each item​ sold, the​ band's profit is a percent of the sellin
Finger [1]

The goal amount of the student groups are given in percentages, which are fractions based on one hundred.

  • <u>The flutist raised more money than the trumpeters</u>
  • <u>The difference in the amounts the student raised is $256.5</u>

Reasons:

The amount the school band is raising for the trip = $9,500

Goal of the flutist = To raise 18% of the total amount

Goal of the trumpeters = 85% of the flutist's goal

Required:

The group that raise more money, given that their goals are met

Solution:

Given that the goal of the trumpeters trumpeters is 85% of the goal of the flutist, <u>the flutist raised more money</u>.

Required:

The difference in the amount raised by the students

Solution:

The amount raised by the flutist = 18% of $9,500 = 0.18 × $9,500 = $1,710

Amount the trumpeters raised = 85% of $1,710 = 0.85 × $1,710 = $1,453.5

The difference in the amount raised = $1,710 - $1,453.5 = <u>$256.5</u>
