1) Write out what you know
Blue: 5/8
Green: 5/9 (of 3/8 because it is the remaining parts) so 5/24
Red: 1 - (5/8 + 5/24) = 1/6
2) Find the total amount of people
You know that 1/6 of the population is 48, so the total population is 288 (48×6)
3) Multiply the total population by the fractions to get the number of votes
Blue: 288 × 5/8 = 180 votes
Green: 288 × 5/24 = 60 votes

Check: 180 + 60 + 48 = 288 votes

CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW THEY CAME UP WITH THE 5/24's PLEASE???

It is believed that Lake Tahoe Community College (LTCC) Intermediate Algebra students get less than seven hours of sleep per nig
Kitty [74]

Answer: No , at 0.05 level of significance , we have sufficient evidence to reject the claim that LTCC Intermediate Algebra students get less than seven hours of sleep per night, on average.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let \mu denotes the average hours of sleep per night.

As per given , we have

H_0:\mu=7\\H_a:\mu

, since H_a is left-tailed and population standard deviation is unknown, so the test is a left-tailed t -test.

Also , it is given that ,

Sample size : n= 22

Sample mean : \overline{x}=7.24

Sample  standard deviation : s= 1.93

Test statistic : t=\dfrac{\overline{x}-\mu}{\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}

i.e.  t=\dfrac{7.24-7}{\dfrac{1.93}{\sqrt{22}}}\approx0.58

For significance level \alpha=0.05 and degree of freedom 21 (df=n-1),

Critical t-value for left-tailed test= t_{\alpha, df}=t_{0.05,21}=- 1.7207

Decision : Since the test statistic value (0.58) > critical value  1.7207, it means we are failed to reject the null hypothesis .

[Note : When |t_{cal}|>|t_{cri}|, then we accept the null hypothesis.]

Conclusion: We have sufficient evidence to reject the claim that LTCC Intermediate Algebra students get less than seven hours of sleep per night, on average.
