Answer:

a. How many bowls could you glaze?

6 bowls

How many plates could you glaze?

10 plates

b. You want to glaze 5 bowls, and then use the rest for plates.

How many plates can you glaze?

2 plates

How much glaze will be left over?

8/9 of glaze would be left

c. How many of each object could you glaze so that there is no glaze left over? Explain how you found your answer.

4 4/23 bowls and 4 4/23 plates

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told in the question

Number of pints of glaze = 6 pints

Number of pints to glaze a bowl= 7/8 of pint

Number of pints to glaze a plate = 9/16 of a pint

How many bowls could you glaze?

7/8 pint = 1 bowl

6 pints = x

Cross Multiply

x = 6 pints/ 7/8

= 6 × 8/7

= 48/7

= 6.8571428571 bowls

We can only glaze whole numbers of a bowl, hence, we can only glaze 6 bowls

How many plates could you glaze?

9/16 pint = 1 bowl

6 pints = y

y = 6 pints/ 9/16

= 6 × 16/9

= 10.666666667 plates

We can only glaze whole number of a plate, hence, we can only glaze 10 plates

b. You want to glaze 5 bowls, and then use the rest for plates.

1 bowl = 7/8 pints

5 bowls = z

Cross Multiply

z = 5 × 7/8pints

= 4 3/8 pints of glaze would be used for bowls

How many plates can you glaze?

The rest is for plates, hence:

The amount of glaze left for plates is calculated as:

6 pints - 4 3/8

1 5/8 pints of glaze would be left over to glaze plates.

So therefore,

9/16 pints = 1 plate

1 5/8 pints =

= 2 8/9

Hence we can only glaze 2 plates

How much glaze will be left over?

2 8/9 pints - 2 pints

= 8/9 pints of glaze.

c. How many of each object could you glaze so that there is no glaze left over?

We have 6 pints of glaze

Number of pints to glaze a bowl= 7/8 of pint

Number of pints to glaze a plate = 9/16 of a pint

Let the number of each objects be represented by x

7/8 × x + 9/16 × x = 6 pints

= 4 4/23 bowls and 4 4/23 plates

Rachel has developed a plan to start paying off her credit card debt, and has stopped making purchases with her credit card. She

Ann [662]

Present value of annuity PV = P(1 - (1 + r/t)^-nt) / (r/t)
where: p is the monthly payment, r is the APR = 14.12% = 0.1412, t is the number of payments in one year = 12, n is the number of years = 2.
1,120.87 = P(1 - (1 + 0.1412/12)^(-2 x 12)) / (0.1412 / 12)
0.1412(1120.87) = 12P(1 - (1 + 0.1412/12)^-24)
P = 0.1412(1120.87) / 12(1 - (1 + 0.1412/12)^-24) = $53.88

Minimum monthly payment = 3.15% of 1120.87(1 + 0.1412/12) = 0.0315 x 1120.87(1 + 0.1412/12) = $35.72

Therefore, his first payment will be greater than the minimum payment by 53.88 - 35.72 = $18.16

A study was conducted to determine whether magnets were effective in treating pain. The values represent measurements of pain us

amm1812

Answer:

Given:

Sham: n= 20, x=0.44, s=1.24,

Magnet:n= 20, x =0.49, s= 0.95

For Sham:

Sample size, n = 20

Sample mean = 0.44

Standard deviation = 1.24

For Magnet:

Sample size = 20

Sample mean = 0.49

Standard deviation = 0.95

The null and alternative hypotheses:

H0: s1²=s2²

H1: s1² ≠ s2²

a) To find the test statistics, use the formula:

$\frac{s1^2}{s2^2}$

$\frac{1.24^2}{0.95^2} = \frac{1.5376}{0.9025} = 1.7037$

Test statistics = 1.7037

b) P-value:

Sham: degrees of freedom $= n - 1 = 20 - 1 = 19$

Magnet: degrees of freedom $= n - 1 = 20 - 1 = 19$

The critical values:

[Za/2, df1, df2)], [(1 - Za/2), df1, df2]

$f[0.05/2, 19, 19], f[(1 - 0.05/2), 19, 19]$

$f[0.025, 19, 19], f[0.975, 19, 19]$

$(2.526, 0.3958)$

The rejection region:

Reject H0, if F < 0.3958 or if F > 2.526

c) Conclusion:

Since the critical values of test statistic is between (0.3958 < 1.7037 < 2.526), we fail to reject null hypothesis H0.

There is insufficient evidence to to support the claim that those given a sham treatment have reductions that vary more than those treated with magnets

Jason and Maria are playing a board game in which three dice are tossed to determine a player's move. Find each probability for:

fredd [130]

Tossing a die will have 6 possible outcomes. Those are having sides that are number 1 to 6. The sample space of tossing 3 dice is equal to 6³ which is equal to 216. Now for the calculation of probabilities,

P(two 5s) = (1 x 1 x 5)/216
As we have to have the 5 in the die for two times, then for the 1 time, we can have all other numbers except 5. The answer is 5/216.

P(three 5s) = (1 x 1 x 1)/216 = 1/216

P(one 5 or two 5s) = (1 x 5 x 5)/216 + (1 x 1 x 5)/216 = 5/36
