Answer:

We conclude that the percentage of blue candies is equal to 29​%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that in a random selection of 100 colored​ candies, 28​% of them are blue. The candy company claims that the percentage of blue candies is equal to 29​%.

Let p = <u><em>population percentage of blue candies</em></u>

So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : p = 29%     {means that the percentage of blue candies is equal to 29​%}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : p \neq 29%     {means that the percentage of blue candies is different from 29​%}

The test statistics that will be used here is <u>One-sample z-test for</u> <u>proportions</u>;

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

where, \hat p = sample proportion of blue coloured candies = 28%

           n = sample of colored​ candies = 100

So, <u><em>the test statistics</em></u> =  \frac{0.28-0.29}{\sqrt{\frac{0.29(1-0.29)}{100} } }

                                    =  -0.22

The value of the z-test statistics is -0.22.

<u>Also, the P-value of the test statistics is given by;</u>

               P-value = P(Z < -0.22) = 1 - P(Z \leq 0.22)

                            = 1 - 0.5871 = 0.4129

Now, at a 0.10 level of significance, the z table gives a critical value of -1.645 and 1.645 for the two-tailed test.

Since the value of our test statistics lies within the range of critical values of z, <u><em>so we insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis</em></u> as it will not fall in the rejection region.

Therefore, we conclude that the percentage of blue candies is equal to 29​%.

If m&lt;BEG = (19x + 3)° and m&lt;EGC = (m&lt;GCB + 4x)°, which of the following statements is true about quadrilateral BEGC? Se
viktelen [127]

Answer:

The sum of all exterior angles of BEGC is equal to 360° ⇒ answer F only

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise some facts about the quadrilateral

- Quadrilateral is a polygon of 4 sides

- The sum of measures of the interior angles of any quadrilateral is 360°

- The sum of measures of the exterior angles of any quadrilateral is 360°

* Lets solve the problem

- DEGC is a quadrilateral

∵ m∠BEG = (19x + 3)°

∵ m∠EGC = (m∠GCB + 4x)°

∵ The sum of the measures of its interior angles is 360°

∴ m∠BEG + m∠EGC + m∠GCB + m∠CBE = 360

∴ (19x + 3) + (m∠GCB + 4x) + m∠GCB + m∠CBE = 360 ⇒ add the like terms

∴ (19x + 4x) + (m∠GCB + m∠GCB) + m∠CBE + 3 = 360 ⇒ -3 from both sides

∴ 23x + 2m∠GCB + m∠CBE = 375

∵ The sum of measures of the exterior angles of any quadrilateral is 360°

∴ The statement in answer F is only true

Solve the equations. 2.5x−3.67=1.52
aleksklad [387]
Our current equation is:
2.5x -3.67 = 1.52.
To solve for x, we need to get x by itself and then simplify what we can from there.
2.5x -3.67 = 1.52
Add 3.67 to both sides to get 2.5x by itself.
2.5x = 5.19 is now our new equation.
Divide both sides by 2.5 to get x.
5.19/2.5 = 2.07
x = 2.07
I hope this helps!
