Answer:

Test statistics = 1.87

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a political study took a sample of 1000 voters in the town and found that 56% of the residents favored annexation.

And, a political strategist wants to test the claim that the percentage of residents who favor annexation is more than 53%, i.e;

Null Hypothesis, H_0 : p = 0.53 {means that the percentage of residents who favor annexation is 53%}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_1 : p > 0.53 {means that the percentage of residents who favor annexation is more than 53%}

The test statistics we will use here is;

                T.S. = \frac{\hat p -p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1- \hat p)}{n} } } ~ N(0,1)

where, p = actual percentage of residents who favor annexation = 0.53

            \hat p = percentage of residents who favor annexation in a sample of

                  1000 voters = 0.56

            n = sample of voters = 1000

So, Test statistics = \frac{0.56 -0.53}{\sqrt{\frac{0.56(1- 0.56)}{1000} } }

                              = 1.87

Therefore, the value of test statistics is 1.87 .

Given a container that is 4.50 ft. by 7.20 ft. that is filled with water 5.00 inches deep.What is the volume of water in liters
elena55 [62]

Answer:

382.3 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told in the question that:

A container that is 4.50 ft. by 7.20 ft. that is filled with water 5.00 inches deep.

This means:

Length = 4.50 ft

Width = 7.20 ft

Depth(Height) = 5.00 inches

We have to convert all of these to centimeters first. Then to liters

1 foot = 30.48 centimetres

1 inch = 2.54 centimetres

Length = 4.50 ft

1 foot = 30.48 centimetres

4.5 ft = 4.5 × 30.48

= 137.16 cm

Width = 7.20 ft

1 foot = 30.48 centimetres

7.20 ft = 7.20 × 30.48 cm

= 219.456cm

Depth(Height) = 5.00 inches

1 inch = 2.54 centimetres

5 inches = x cm

Cross Multiply

= 5 × 2.54 cm

= 12.7 cm

The volume of the water(cm³) = Length × Width × Depth

= (137.16 × 219.456 × 12.7)cm³

382277.428992 cm³

The volume of water in liters

1 cubic centimetre = 0.001 litre

382277.428992 cm³ = x

Cross Multiply

382277.428992 cm³ × 0.001 litre

= 382.2774289920001 liters

Approximately = 382.3 liters

Solve by factoring : x^2-5x-36=0
il63 [147K]

Answer:

-9 and +4 are the factors

Step-by-step explanation:

-9 times +4 is -36 and if you add +4 to -9, you get -5.

After this your function will look like this:

x^2-9x+4x-36

and then:

x(x-9)+4(x-9)

so the answer is:

(x-9)(x+4)

Three times a number minus another number is -3. The sum of the numbers is 11. Find the numbers
MatroZZZ [7]

The first equation is

3x-y=-3

The second equation is

x+y=11

If you sum the two equations you'll cancel y:

4x=8 \iff x=2

And since the sum must be 11, we have y=9.

A metallic spherical ball of radius 14 cm is being melted and recast it into spherical balls of radius 2 cm. How many spherical
mojhsa [17]

Volume of sphere = 4/3 x pi x r^3

Volume of large sphere:

4/3 x 3.14 x 14^3 = 11488.21 cubic cm

Volume of smaller sphere:

4/3 x 3.14 x 2^3 = 33.49 cubic cm

Number of small spheres = volume of large sphere/ volume of small sphere

11488.21 / 33.49 = 343.03

Round to 343 small spheres
